Yesterday I just wasn't that hungry (which is WEIRD for me, as I am usually always hungry and don't ever "forget" to eat ). I did eat, but after karate, around 9pm, I had to force myself to drink a PWO, which brought me to about 1400 kcal for the day (my usual is 1650 / 1850).

Now... the scale has been quite stubbornly stuck for over a month. I gained 1-2# since starting NROLW (depending on which day I weigh), and nothing has budged. It is ALWAYS within that 1# range. This morning, I weighed and was down 2#. It's not water, I don't think, because I did drink plenty of water yesterday (and every day)... the only major change is adding a touch of SS cardio (only 1 or 2 / week, only started 2 weeks ago), and of course the lower kcals for one day.

Huh?!?!?

I KNOW you can't gain or lose pounds overnight, but this is the first budge of the scale in over a month, and it just happened to coincide with a day when I was down about 300 kcal from where I should've been...

Maybe it's all a coincidence, but... ???? I'd love to hear if anyone else had experiences like this, or if there's any explanation other than totally random weirdness.

Some people's weight does fluctuate that much day to day. Personally, mine does not and never has (I was a daily weigher for many many years...) You know your body best and how it reacts.

But my guess is it is the addition of the cardio and just accumulation of calorie deficit over time could have led to the loss. One day of lower calories wouldn't have much impact on the scale unless it was like a day of stomach flu. I can stay the same weight for weeks on end and then BAM down 2 lbs and it is 2 lbs that stays off, not some temporary fluctuation.
