Four pounds is nothing. You could get a small stomach bug, or take a particularly large dump, and the number on the scale would read what you want it to read.

Why are you arbitrarily deciding that Number X is your perfect weight? If your body is settling in at 144, you don't NEED to be 140.

Now, if your doctor is telling you you need to be 140, that's one thing.

Anyway, my best advice if you really want to drop a few more pounds:

1) No alcohol. If you're serious about 4 pounds, you need to only drink on very special occasions, and only one drink.

2) No eating after 7:30 p.m. Have dinner, have a small portion of dessert when you want to, then that's it. NO late-night snacking.

3) Only eat "investment carbs," make sure those choices are really worth it. Half of a good deli bagel? Yes. A sad conference room bagel? Hell no.

4) Cut your portions by 1/3 until you reach your goal weight.[/quote]

This doesn't sound like a way to establish a healthy, maintainable weight.  It sounds like a good way to lose 5 lbs, then regain 15 lbs.  Ask me how I know!  [/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for the words of advice and encouragement.  I'm curious-  why something like the above might have the opposite effect?  Does it crash the body's metabolism?
