I understand also, as I have gone up and down the same several lbs for a month. I finally weighed 2 lbs less, lower than any weight since I gained so much. I was so happy!! I agree to just keep at it, even though it can be discouraging. The only thing that has kept me going is thinking about the fact that I am doing this woe for life, for health, since I have some diabetes in my family. I feel much better and more energetic. Keep up the good work!
