Pace yourself, sweetie! You've definitely got a pattern going of dramatic weight loss and then dramatic gain. If I can offer some advice, this week make your goal to lose one pound. Just one, no more. Then the following week, do the same thing (two pounds AT MOST). I'd be curious what your eating habits are: I could be wrong, but I imagine that you're starving yourself, and then binging to overcompensate. Try making little changes WITHOUT depriving yourself: whole grain bread instead of white, baked chips instead of fried, light salad dressing instead of regular, no-cal butter spray instead of butter, etc. You CAN do this, girl, and we're all rooting for you!!!! 

I agree with All that Baby Weight to try and focus on a healthy eating plan and keep those losses at a reasonable level. Small losses comulatively can soon add up... but you do need to eat to fuel that boding into losing weight. I notice that you're doing Weight Watchers - are you doing flex or core? Just if you are doing flex you don't necessarily have to eat the same number of points each day... in fact personally I find it better to fluctuate them! So you could take your total points per week and vary them each day if you wanted to. I am rooting for you too... as you CAN do this! If I can help any further, then will gladly try. ;o)
