Just started to exercise regularly and now GAINING!!!!

Hello there, I am 29 weeks post-op (March 18, 2002) and have gone from 284.5 to 198.5 (86 lbs lost). This has been and strange and wonderful week. First of all, encouraged by finally getting under 200 pounds over the weekend (my weight loss has slowed down tremendously), I decided that this was going to be the week that I made a good solid committment to exercise (I have started and stopped regular exercise many, many times). So starting this past Monday I promised myself that I would began doing Walk Away the Pounds every morning and attending Pilates classes Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (I've got class tonight). I feel very good and I'm very proud of myself for making good on this promise, however, I have GAINED 3 pounds and am now at 201.5. I really don't understand what's going on here. I'm discouraged but I feel that I must continue on with this exercise momentum I have going right now. But if I continue to gain, I'm not sure I'll still feel this way. Anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement?
