Great job on the current loss, I'm about the same height as you and also have about 20lbs or so to go (currently 209).
Just to clarify the timeline, I assume you mean Thanksgiving 2012? Not sure whether American Thanksgiving has happened yet for 2013 and Canadian Thanksgiving 2013 was last month. Are we talking about a year or so?

Not kidding
When I was stuck at a certain weight I did this and I would start to loose the weight again. It's like the extra callories kick started my metabolism.
I have done this twice since I went on this weight loss endevour and it worked both times.

Do you think you were too far under on your calories and that's what caused the issue?

Losing that last 25, 10, 5 lbs is very hard... especially if you are approaching geezer status. It's not like the first 20 lbs that just falls off with a little discipline. For me, I'm trying to shake up my metabolism by running a couple of 5Ks during the week and 10K on the weekend, on top of my routine exercise. But I think you have to get used to the idea that the last 20 is going to happen slowly over many months, not weeks. If you find a short cut to dropping the last 20 I bet it's going to return with a vengeance.

WM I always tried to be around the caloric intake she had figured out for me (which I think was 1800 calories a day).
I first mentioned this to her when I was about 2 months into the weight reduction and for about a week and a half I didn't lose any weight despite all the exersizing I was doing and that's when she told me to give my metabolism a 5000 calorie shock.
and then I started to lose weight again.
