Sorry if I am jumping into this late. I just adjusted my metabolism. I am male, 5'-11" and currently 235 lbs. I changed my base from Mifflin of 1941 to a custom 1860. I also changed my activity level to the lowest level-sedentary (I work at a computer all day) from the next higher level. Doing this allowed me to match my average calorie deficit to my actual weight loss. I only add activities for my workouts like Cassie. Unlike her, I didn't want to have to add my sleep time every day.
I had changed because I was at a greater calorie deficit than my goal required but was falling behind my goal. I was still losing weight but not at the rate that I needed too acheive my goal on time.
