    Don't give up. Reasses your calorie intake. I went up and down all month too and when I went up I took a look at my journal entry and recalculated my BMR and exactly how much calories I'm suppose to be eating for my weight. Good Luck :)

    UGW: 150

    Weigh in Dates:
    10/1 277.8
    10/8 277.2 (lost .6 pounds, not a lot but a loss none the less so I will take it)
    10/15 273.2 (yippee, lost 4 pounds last week)
    10/22 271 (lost 2.2 pounds last week)
    10/31 274.8 ( yech, gained 3.8 pounds - weekend road trip to see my son)

    Total October weight lost: 3 pounds

    Definitely need to get this train back on the track, I am so hating the 270's and cannot seem to get rid of them. I had planned to be in the 250's by now and it is not happening so change of pace is in order. But at least I am 3 pounds lighter than I when the month started so that's a plus. On to the next challenge.
