    I'm curious - do you really feel an actual difference in your body with just those 5 lbs or is it a number thing? I'm very big still so 5 lbs doesn't seem like diddly to me unless its 5 lbs I've lost and kept off. But actually FEELING different without those 5 lbs...I can't tell a difference. For me there has to be a significant amount of weight difference before my body feels different/better.

    I really do feel and look different with the extra 5 pounds. I don't know why they make such a big difference exactly, probably because my body fat is pretty low to begin with and I have a small frame even though I'm 5'9". I'm pretty sure other people notice it too, probably at a subliminal level, though it's hard to be sure. But I know my confidence rises a LOT when I'm that extra 5 pounds down, I get more attention from guys, and just generally feel great.

    That's all in your head, because you are fixated on the number. For an example:
    superherostaci.jpg

    This girl weighs about your goal weight on the left (131,) and weighs about 7 pounds MORE than your current weight on the right (142.) Worry more about fitness, less about the number on the scale. It's obviously having a negative effect on your psyche.

    I DO THIS TOO! It works for me and the weight does stay off. This is acutally my FAVORITE diet method. I don't eat dinner or anything after 12-3 whenever I decide to stop. But yes it works well also if you have a plateau.

    133 - 135? That's all pretty much in the natural body weight fluctuation territory right there.

    I think you're being overly obsessive about an arbitrary number on the scale that is representative of many things, not just fat.
