Having the same problem around here. Although you have lost so much more than me. I had an awesome comment on my blog about my gain so I am just going to repeat it here.
"Here's the thing... it's not about the number. Especially right now. It's about the fact that you are measuring, tracking, and paying attention. This is one of those red flag moments and because you are paying attention, you will correct course and move forward. That you should be proud of. And you naturally have to re-adjust when things come up... like injury, illness, hubby working ALL weekend when you are used to having him home lately. I'm glad you aren't giving up!"
A thirty-something with more than an extra hundred pounds she needed to ditch. I am very happily married, generally quite positive, and have finally started making changes to develop a sustainable, healthier lifestyle. My initial goal was surpassed on April 5, 2010 and I'm now trying to get to a weight I am comfortable maintaining for the long term.
I write this blog as a record of my own journey. If you take something away with you from reading it – a sense of understanding or a growing determination to succeed at your own weight loss challenges - I couldn’t be happier. I love the thought of helping others and inspiring positive change. However, by accessing this site you must understand that I am not responsible for how you interpret my words nor for any actions you choose to undertake. Consulting a medical professional throughout any weight loss journey is the very best thing I can advise. I wish you all great success!

Thanks, all! You are such a great support system and I can't tell you what you mean to me...
