The Hacker's Diet agrees with you that a band of a couple of pounds on either side of your nominal goal weight is a good strategy. He gives a five-pound band (2.5 lbs on either side) as a normal range of fluctuation, and a ten-pound band as an alarm trigger. He suggests that in any given month your weight trend might wander around in that narrower band because of water weight, but if the trend line hits the wider limit, immediate diet changes are in order.
Conscious awareness has certainly been the key to my success so far. It sounds like it's been yours, too.
