Sounds nuts, right? But it's true. As I got about 15 lbs from goal, the bounces got narrower: up to 3 lbs. But so did the whooshes: They're never more than .8 lbs, anymore. Today, I'm 2.8 above my current low. Three days ago, I was 1.4, and then 2. 6, 2.6. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? I can stay close to that 3 lbs above mark for three weeks, and then start slowly dropping again, and finally get a whoosh.

Look at it this way, though: your gain put you at a total loss of 92.4 lbs, right? That's still something to celebrate!! The scale just measures mass, not how well you are eating. If your body is doing what bodies will do, which is to fill the empty fat cells with water, you can easily gain, because water is denser than fat.
