I hear you. I gained four pounds over Xmas and can't seem to get it off. I've had a house guest since Thursday and I've been stress eating. She's high maintenance as she's somewhat disabled.

My highest was 172 and then I did Atkins and got down to 148. I kept some off but about half crept back on. Then I lost some on my own, later had my thyroid go whacko and went down to 139 but I was quite sick so didn't really get to enjoy it. Now I'm hovering around 150, drat.

I would like to get down to 135 also, but would settle happily enough at 140. Grandma's can have a little extra....... can't they?
