I get all excited when I have a new low weight. Unfortunately, my weight bounces around within about a 5-lb window, and it may be another week before I see that low weight again. And it may be another three weeks before I can usually hit that weight. And another six or eight weeks until that weight is the high end of the window.
I think that's why it feels like I'm on a long plateau. Yesterday I was at 157 -- I first weighed that much the end of October, six weeks ago. But at the time it was my low weight and now it's my high weight. Nonetheless, when I see the number, part of me says, "Nooooo! I haven't lost any weight in six weeks!" Then I have to take a deep breath and get over it. :)
That said, I can't wait to get back down to my new low weight, 154.1. :)

I have EXACTLY the same problem. I think it is just the way bodies get rid of fat. It isn't set in stone, the body fights it, but if you stick to it, eventually it just stays off.
