Thanks for the good thoughts - I'm proud to report that just posting my plight made me take things seriously again, and today I weighed myself and I'm down 5 pounds! I don't weigh myself every week and that makes a huge difference in giving me a better over-all picture of my hard work, rather than a daily fluctuation to obsess over.

Thanks everyone for the support.
