I used to have different calories per day.. which would range from 1400 - 1800 throughout the 7 days of the week... and I lost like, 5lbs, but then for 2 weeks I didn't budge and I posted on here and some gals helped me out.. I wasn't eating enough calories on most days, so now I stick to 1500, and I've seen myself lose a pound every 2 - 3 days.. I've maintained again, and in a couple days if I don't go down, i'll lower my cals, then raise them and go back to 1500.. keeping your metabolism guessing is a good way of doing it, but you might also not be eating enough calories..
I also count how much fat I eat.. carbs and protein is an extra, but I want to have a lower fat diet, and so I limit myself to 35g of fat a day.. I'm usually under that, but that's what I set it at.
