On daily weighing & BMR formula

Nothing new to report.
Weight hanging in at around 127.. I fluctuate A LOT, which is why daily weighing might not be a good idea for you if you stress out about things like that. I have watched my weight long enough to know that my body hangs around at a certain weight for a week or two even, going up, going down, THEN a couple pounds will disappear.
Weekly weighing would seem to make more sense, but for me, the daily ups and downs help me get a bead on things like how salt intake and monthly hormonal fluctuations effect my weight.It also teaches me the value of staying the course.
In November I hit a huge plateau. If you follow me on Twitter you may have heard me having a snit about it. A full month of 1200-ish per day VERY clean eating and MUCH working out, and zero weight loss! I was beginning to seriously doubt my metabolism! But,I stuck with it, and b4 long five pounds just melted away, and now, I feel like my metabolism maybe did a reset, because ever since that hump,everything has been going more like it should.
I figured out my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) the other day.That means my very base-line caloric intake to sustain function in my body with NO exercise. It is aprox 1293 calories a day. BMR should account for about 75% of your calories, so for me, on a Non workout day 1600 cals should be a maintenance figure. So when I am cutting weight (notice as "a fighter" I use the term cutting rather than "losing"...lols)my 1200 cal per day intake means I should lose a pound every 9 days per formula, and that's been exactly right. It just took patience and stick-to-itive-ness.
Here's the BMR formula for women:
655 + (4.3 x weight)+ (4.7 x height)- (4.7 x age)= BMR
