Fluctuation is the crazy part of any WOE/WOL. I'm sure it is water weight do to TOM, extra salt intake or something of the sort. Don't frett over it. It will come back off. Hang in there.:) How is Michael doing lately?  

Thanks for asking about Mike. He is doing awesome. I just took him to buy some new jeans. Got him Kenneth Cole reaction jeans down from size 42x30 to 38x32. So not only is he loosing, he got taller. He looks awesome. Your right Pug,thinking about it, its probably TOM since I had a horrible back ache and tummy ache this morning. I am just peeved b/c it hasn't happened before. Just gonna push thru. I am gonna try more water also because I think I have slowed down on the intake since it is so cold here.I guess I don't get that thirsty. Still a bummer though because I have not gained an ounce since I started back in October.  

I am so happy that you and Michael are doing so well. Please tell him that I am very proud of all his accomplishments. And you, 31 pounds since October is totally awesome. You both have so much to be proud of so hang in there and keep up the fantastic work.:) 

WOW!! Michael - You the MAN!!! that's awesome! And don't worry about your own fluctuation... just a blip... keep up the great work! (sometimes too much added exercise can cause us to retain fluid :( 

Thanx friends. I hoping to bounce back this week. I am hanging in there. I've come this far and if I can get this far and can make it to my goal. 40 more lbs to go !  

Ah buddy, it's ALL good! A small gain, just reminds us that "this is a journey" not a destination. Progress, not perfection. Keep up the good work! 

I think the weight I gained is coming back off because my "skinny jeans" feel really loose today. I guess I got too confident by thinking I was safe from gaining since I hadnt experienced any gain in the last 4 months. It was definately an eye opener. I just cant get below that 190 lbs mark ! Maybe this is the week. Crossing my fingers !
