I often ate 5-8 times a day during my weight loss phase. I would say the first thing to do is look honestly at your habits.....enough protein, healthy foods, not grazing, etc. Also make sure you eat enough calories. If you seem to be on track "most" of the time, then chalk it up as water retention and body fluctuations. I used a lot of methods at the phase you are trying to get those last pounds off and fend off the munchie monsters......but I did it and so can you! I started journaling, upped my workouts, went to counseling, paired protein with all meals and snacks, etc.....whatever helps you. I also used warm liquids with some dry milk (coffee, tea, cocoa) to ease any hunger and give my hands and mouth something to do besides eat. I still do it a lot and it gets my liquids in. Something soothing and satisfying for me in warm beverages. We can give more specific ideas and advice if need be...but just jump in at every angle....you can get it going again!!!
