Marlaine, I read your journal, or at least I've started reading it, I can see you did have some great difficulty the first weeks, but boy, look at you go now. I was reading it because I saw a post where I believe Alto committed on how you struggled and now you are on a roll, she recommended we read it, so I've started reading it. I have that same problem, I loose, and I continue to be very strict on the program, and I start gaining. I just can't figure it out. I'll give you an example
(these are all on the same very accurate digital scale, the same time and everything and I always weigh in the nude - saves a few pounds

12/28/01 - 203
12/30/01 - 199
12/31/01 - 196
1/1/02 - 193
1/2/02 198
1/3/02 193
1/4/02 197
NOTICE 1/2/02, jump up 5 pounds, then lost three, then this morning up another 2?? anyhow, it gets discouraging. I want so badly to get out of the 190's, I've just been here too long. Nothing seems to work. I thought I was so close on 1/1 and just so happy, then bam back up to 198.
geez, will I ever get there?
