Could use some encouragement.

I'm in a bit of a rough patch in my weight loss journey and could use some general encouragement and kind words.

I'm 26M, 5'10", and about a year ago I weighed just under 280lbs. As of yesterday, I now weigh 221lbs. However, last October I was as low as 211. I had a shoulder injury and picked up a nasty cold or something while traveling that kept me out of the gym for two months. As a result, I gained some weight back.

I started back at the gym and really tracking calories last week, but my weight actually went from 220lbs to 221lbs that week. I think it's water, because I started back on creatine at the same time, but it's still demoralizing.

I'm currently working out 6x-week, with 4-5 lifting days and 1-2 cardio days, depending on the week. My calories are about 2,200 daily.

I'm doing my best. It's just rough right now.
