Re: really disappointed - suggestion for all...

I ALWAYS go down several then go back up to where I was, then go back

down a few lower than I was and level off. If you look at my daily

and I'm still doing well - I get excited because I know that that is

just a peak in a 'wave' on my graph and that it means it's getting

ready to go down. I hope this make some sence. It's hard to

pattern.
