What, exactly, are you eating each day?   Give us some sample menus so we can trouble shoot.

62# is nothing to sneeze at.  Just stick with the plan and you will lose.  But honest with yourself as you are at the point where you can eat a little more so be aware of that.  Measure everything!  Good Luck!

Starvation/hibernation mode is a myth that has been thoroughly debunked by science.

Could you please cite a credible reference?  My nutritionist at Henry Ford hospital in Michigan claims it is not a myth.  No less than the Mayo Clinic also does not claim it to be a myth.  Thank you.

I'm running around all day, so I don't have time to do the research again, but if you google "starvation mode myth" you will find many articles on the topic, most of which link to scientific studies that are credible.

I did a google search, naturally.  I found no credible websites that claim starvation mode is a myth.  I found many websites that state a persons metabolism will slow down when not receiving enough nutrients.  Unless your willing to back of your opinion with fact, its just an opinion,  isn't it?  We're all busy, but I'm never too busy to seek the truth of the matter.

Suit yourself :)  For me, there's a difference between spending the time to find the truth when I need it for myself (which I did) and taking the time to track it all down again for someone else.  No skin off my nose either way.
