I'm a relative newbie to this site, so I'm still learning how to do things like this myself.  I recently found myself the proud owner of a bad back and elected to stop exercising for three days.  (Up till then, I was doing 3x/week 40 min cardio, 3x/week 38 min resistance training, with 1 day off)  I continued eating as usual and to my surprise I dropped four pounds in that three day period!

I don't know if I'm a special case, and I don't know what your workout regimen is, but you might try giving your body break from the workout scene for a couple days.

I don't exercise, save for ten minutes of Yoga a day.  I think I'm going to up my calories though.  I remember last time I did that and I continued to lose weight.

About the comments below.  Thank you for your concerns but you don't know my body type.  Also I do ballet, and they want me to be thin.  They wanted me to do estranged diets but I opted for a healthy way.  I want to eat healthy and key word I want to eat.

I do eat.  I eat 5 times a day, and now roughly 260-280 calories each time.  I also drink eight glasses of water a day along with green tea.
