    I would carb cycle for a week and not drop your calories just to give your metablosim a kick. Often times after a higher than normal calorie day the weight will settle back down to the norm after 3 or 4 days of normal eating. You can try going low carbs for two days followed by higher carbs for two days and see if that wont produce some results. Just dont panic. Its a process, and all it takes is being aware, which you are, and making adjustments. Hope this helps.

    Set a 5 lb maintenance range for yourself to allow for fluctuations, such as 127-132. When you get to the top of the range, start eating at a 250 cal deficit until you're back to mid range. Do this even if you think the top of the range is water weight. You might only need to do the deficit for a few days if it is water weight, but it's one way to help keep things in check.


    YES...this. This is exactly how I am doing it. My range is 120-125. My body keeps going back to 122 something. I ate over 2000 calories yesterday and almost as much on Saturday and I am sitting right at 122.4. I can eat VERY little though and it is rare that I get to and stay at 120 or 121 something. I guess my body has its "happy place". I had those couple high cal days so today and tomorrow I will eat under maintenance.
