Great job starting back up!

I'm in very similar situation, been losing weight for about 7 months, been at a plateau for about a month, and gained 3-4 pounds this last week even before Thanksgiving from a horrible weekend of eating. Even though I exercised all week, I apparently ate like a million calories in excess! I'm about 10-15 from my goal as well.

I used to run also, did a couple of half marathons and one full, and quit running due to tendonitis. I just got back on my treadmill a week ago and jogged for the first time in 3 years – it felt great! I usually do fitness classes at the Y 4-5 times a week and I love it.
