    It's common as you approach a normal weight. But if MFP is estimating your exercise calories, eat 50% of them.

    My guess would be faulty logging... over estimating exercise burns, under estimating food intake, and/or dishonest logging (not logging the last 3 bites of little jimmy's pizza crust, the hershey kiss you grabbed as you were walking out the door, etc.)
