Ht. 5'2", Start: 203 lb, Today: 168 lb, Goal: 125 lb - My metablism must be really working good because last night I ate so horrible and I ate more than 1500 calories probly around 2000 calories, and I didn't gain any weight. I can't wait till my peroid because I usually lose about 2 pounds and not gain it back because now I can't get past 169 at all. my mom thinks I'm on a plateu but it's been going on for like 2 to 3 weeks

What works for me is going off the diet for a day or maybe two and then don't freak out if you gain a pound or two and then going back on. Always worked for me...

You couldn't gain an actual pound of fat from eating 2000 calories, you might only retain water weight. And unfortunately, plateaus can last for a couple of weeks, sometimes a month or two. Maybe you should write down everything you eat for a couple of days, just to make sure you're not getting extra calories from somewhere. I'm not saying you're not good at keeping track, I just know that that was a problem for me at one time.
