nice that's is 5 pounds to loose rather than 100, eh? :-) you'll get it sorted out. you know - a 5 pound gain could be *anything* water, poop.... it's not necessarily fat.

I usually fluctuate 1 to 3 lbs. this truly is a 5lb gain....and I deserve it because I have not been following my plan. I know what I need to do, just need to motivate myself to do it. I knew maintenance would be difficult for me. Once I no longer saw the scale moving down which what was driving me, I became a bit complacent. I know that I cannot do that. Also I am on 3 different medications now that make me hungry as a lion.

You got this!
