By Melissa]]> You have a great attitude about it, I hope I can remember this when my scale goes up instead of down, like it has been! I love the feeling of new muscles, it makes you feel so strong.

By Debbie]]> I wouldn't worry about 1 pound. You're gonna get there. That's obvious.

By Chris H]]> Yep, a small increase is not "jump out the window" stuff for sure. Maybe you are getting muscles... and hey, they weigh more than fat! Good on you for persevering.

By BrightAngel]]> Good attitude.
Bouncing is definitely part of the weight-loss and maintenance routine.
I've found it helpful to watch the highs and lows of the bounces. Success is shown by the fact that both the highs and lows of the bounces get lower and lower.

By Rah]]> Remember my previous post about your pattern of threes [when you posted your graph]. You tend to have three "holding" or even gain weeks, then drop [not an perfect pattern, but certainly a trend]. You have lost an amazing amount of weight, and your attitude alone is amazing and inspirational!

By Samiam]]> Yep, small weight gains happen, not a big deal! I experenence them myself all the time. I read somewhere that the most accurate way to measure weighti s to weigh every day and take the average at the end of the week and then to compare weekly averages. Now I am not nearly organized enough to keep track like that, but I kind of keep a running average in my head! Keep up the awesome work! I'm a couple of pounds behaind you! hehehe, It's nice to read about someone else who happens to be the same height who is in a simialar place!

By Jen]]> I just stumbled across your blog. I weight 372lb right now, on the first day of my weight loss journey. You are such an inspiration. Thank you and best wishes!

By Lulu]]> Can you do an entire entry dedicated to loose skin and how you're handling it? You've mentioned it before but I would love to hear more about what you have to say particularly since you lost your weight over a longer period than most gastric bypass patients who were your size. I'm curious as to whether it's an issue for you and if it is, what you think you will do about it (if anything).

If this is too personal a request, I understand.

Thank you.

By Lose Weight With Me]]> I'm glad you're not upset about what the scale said. Did you know that your weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds in a day.

Much better indicators are what you see in the mirror and how your clothes fit.

By lovelines]]> Haha. I love how you're less concerned with the scale weight than your readers are. :) You know it's the averages that matter anyway.

By holly]]> Ha! I've spent the last five exercise sessions watching my arms on the elliptical machine because I can actually see slight muscle definition as I flex, not just fat jiggling. I thought I was alone in the fascination with small changes in body composition. Nice to know I'm not!
