hey K K yes that happens to us all. Just when you think you are there bamm the rug comes out from under you. Its not anything you did. Its just our hormones and maybe holding water. Or a number of things. But I can struggle with the same 5 pounds over and over again. I had my surgery on 11-15-05 and I started at 253. I am now at 125 . But I go up to 127 than back down againg. It is so unbelievable, But you have to learn not to stress over a few pounds. Betty

KK; One gallon of water = 8 lbs. So if it's "that time of the month" you could easily be retaining that much water. I am below goal, but I allow myself a 5 lb. range. From 140-145. I weigh probably 2-3x/week, but if I get on the scale and am at 144, I start really watching my protein and water. Usually within a few days, I'm back at 140-141. By going back to basics, your tool will always continue to work. Blessings, Jennifer

Wow you all are doing so great. I had mine on 11/23/05 and started at 294 down to 220 and struggling to ge further. Stick with it Kk you can do it. Big breath and pretend that you didn't go up and weigh again on Monday
