Happy Birthday month from one September baby to another :D Those couple pound fluctuations are so frustrating! I totally feel your pain as I frequently have similar plateaus. But I have found that the longer I do No-S (Thursday, 9/15 will be my one year anniversary!) the more sane I become about foo...
