now I feel like I'm bragging...

I guess there really is a phenomenon of breaking the plateau, because after several weeks of feeling literally stuck, now this morning my scale has dropped an additional 2 pounds! In other words, I'm now weighing 2.5 pounds below my plateau weight from two days ago.

I have not been starving myself in the last two days, just eating sensibly. So there must be some mechanism by which the body "gets ready" to let go of the extra weight, and then suddenly does it all at once, because for two weeks I haven't been able to lose anything.

Either that or my scale is playing games again, but my hip and waist measurements are slightly smaller too, (and my pants feel less tight) so I'm pretty sure it's for real.

So now I'm 6 lbs. down from where I started when I joined this thread. If I lose about another 5 lbs., I think I'd be happy maintaining in that range. Whoopee... feelin' like it's around the bend! (After the next plateau, that is!)
