how come the minute I have stopped dieting weight is dropping off me?

[ditavonteesed]

been on a diet for last 6 months and only managed to lose a stone, which I am still pleased with. decided a three weeks ago I couldnt be bothered and would try and stay the same for a bit, since then I have lost 9lbs, why, not that I am complaining just bemused.

Maybe you weren't eating enough on your diet? If your calorie intake goes too low, your body starts clinging onto all the fat it can. Also, your metabolism slows down the less you eat. Maybe eating more kicked your metabolism up a notch?

Losing a stone is great though, plus the additional 9lbs. Well done!

I never loose weight/put on weight until 2-3 weeks after I have overeaten/dieted. Then it all goes overnight (or comes on overnight!) Weird.
