This sounds counter-intuitive, but I've found it to be effective. Increase your calorie intake by about 10 percent for a couple of days, then cut back to where you were. This has the effect of "fooling" the body, which has perhaps decided it's going into starvation mode and therefore must hang on to every little ounce. Just a few extra calories for a couple of days is often enough to convince the old metabolism that famine is not imminent and therefore it's OK to continue losing weight.

Don't do it for more than a couple of days, though. It could become a habit! LOL.

Yes, and only weigh yourself once a week. Definitely a good idea.
