    I just got over the worst stall. I was stuck for like 8 or 9 days. Yesterday, I had lost 3 lbs overnight. Try not to stress to much. I usually hit a rough stall a week before my cycle starts.

    If you are hitting you are being honest with your logging and hitting your calorie goal I'm sure you are on the right track.

    If you ate something with a lot of sodium, could also be water retention. I am 5'4" currently at 204 (a bit heavier than you) but I've been losing at 1500 calories. According MFP, I can lost 1 lb. per week eating 1650. I'm 52. You look younger than that in your photo, so definitely you ought to be able to eat a bit more than 1200 at your current weight.

    6.8 pounds is amazing!

    I do 1200 calories a day, half of the time I do not stick with 1200 per day and end up going a couple hundred higher.
    Are you exercising or at least on your feet most of the day? If so, its totally fine to go over.!
