First, don't panic. It's a very rare loser that doesn't see an occasional bump up for a day or three.
Second, what are you eating? Often, cleaning up your diet will release a lot of water weight but not do much to burn fat. Many people get very discouraged when they drop 10 to 15 pounds at the get-go and then the scale stalls.
The days you lost, were you more active than usual? Your muscle's and liver's energy stores can weigh as much as 5 pounds. Burn those off, you'll see a big drop, but when they replenish you can start to go up again.
If none of the above apply, consider that maybe your body is readjusting. If you give it the exact same foods and do the exact same activities, day in and day out, you're facing a potential early stall. I'm a truly accident prone person, so I can usually tell if this is the case by keeping an eye on my little injuries. If I'm stalling, and my cuts/bruises are taking longer than they should to heal up, I'm doing something wrong and it's not a plain ol' plateau.
Just examine, examine, examine. It's all a [really painful] learning process!

hehe. I do rest on weekends and usually I do see a good loss after that so I think you are totally right. I guess those last two good losses were on Sunday and Monday so it was around my rest period.
