Not to worry Buffy girl...you have been there before...and all at once a big nice drop...Keep up the good work.... 

Bren - you are always so encouraging - thanks! 

Good morning, Buffy! Drink lots of water! It seems to help after a while to get things moving. It will happen. I have faith in you! :) 

A visit from the Woosh Fairy is in your near future...I love it when the Woosh Fairy wooshes away pounds overnight! 

Im going thru the same thing ... 237-240 all week back and forth. I want it to get to 236 and stay there.. and im not cheating and getting in 10k steps on the treadmill.. I like Mom2s idea.. add more water..Know your not alone. WE CAN DO IT AND WHOOSH THE LBS AWAY !!  

Mom, Hipaagrammy & Redgirl - Thanks. Now I remember why I love this site.  

It's frustrating but keep hanging in there. Something will give! 

You haven't gained anything! Yay!!! 

Remember, it's not an instant thing. I used to sit at the same weight for what seemed like forever, then suddenly drop.

Liked that. Short and sweet and to the point. You've got your mojo back. It's in shock that you've lost and is gearing up for the next phase.  

I know your pain - I have been hanging around the same weight now for almost 3 weeks - than gained today. Hang in there! 

I agree with the anytime you don't gain is a win! It will start dropping again be patient. 

You guys have all been great! Encouragement very much appreciated!  

Hang in there! your body is stabilizing! 

May I ask a question without seeming like I am intruding? I see many people weighing themselves daily. I weigh myself every 2 weeks maybe weekly. I notice weight loss and feel accomplishment. If I weighed daily and didn't see a drop I'd get depressed. So why do people weigh themselves daily?  

Everyone does things differently. Some have those fancy scales that say they measure all sorts of things, not sure how they do that. I have a cheapie dial scale, it matches my docs closely. I average over a week and try to weigh in once a week. Sometimes challenges want daily updates I only change my weight once a week.  

i weight every monday for this exact reason.. if i weight before then i dont log it.. only mondays .. so i can see a difference..  

I think it is up to the individual. Some people do better by weighing everyday as it keeps them focused whereas others feel like you do about the fluctuations in weight causing depression. It's all how you like it. :)
