I seem to have this cycle of not losing weight or even gaining a bit for a couple of months, then going through a period of tangible loss then back to not losing. This happens no matter what/how much I'm eating (or not). My endocrinologist tells me it's because muscle uses thyroxine more efficiently than fat.

(I separate this from my 8 pound gain/loss of water that happens for me monthly like clockwork.)
