It is too easy for the extra pounds to add-up - a pound here and there and all of a sudden it's 10 pounds up (happened to me last fall) and it can be so hard to get back in the weight-loss groove. I know the problems your mom-in-law didn't help. I am glad you are going to re-focus your efforts versus giving up any more of your weight loss. I will be waiting for the results of your next weight-in.
