My recent plateau was frustrating and I had pretty much accepted that I may not get past it. I'm was actually pretty happy with the progress I made and my weight doesn't really bother me now.
This morning I weighed myself and saw that I had pushed past it, despite not being too careful about what I ate this week.
The scale read 221.6 lbs.
This means that I have now lost 45.4 lbs in total, again making it the lowest weight that I can recall in over 30 years.
I'm pretty sure my dental issue that forced me to eat less for a couple of days played a part in it. I've read that sometimes your body needs a bit of a "shock" to get past a plateau. Rather than limiting yourself to a set amount of calories per day, vary it once in a while. Exceed your calorie limit for a day or two, and then eat less than the limit for a day or two so that the average works out to what your limit is. That could very well be what happened.
Either way, I'm pleased with it.
