Since August, I have been working very hard month after month and lost 7 lbs since then. And it didn't seem like I was doing anything different the last few weeks. But I weighed myself and I gained 5 lbs back in just the last few weeks. I am so disappointed with myself.

    I can't see your diaries so I can't give those a look but...have you been getting in enough water? Have you increased any strength training to add muscle? There are a lot of variables that could cause a gain, unfortunately. I lost 40 lbs earlier this year and then I decided to blow it off for one day, which led to two, then three...before I knew it I'd gained 39 of it back. Just stick with it, you can do it!
