Lynette, everyone *****plied has already said what I wanted to say lol. You are by NO MEANS a failure! "Only" 64 pounds? That's awesome! Could you have lost that weight in 4.5 months without surgery? I've "only" lost 62 pounds since surgery. But I feel better than I have in years and I'm off all of my diabetes and blood pressure meds. That's enough for me to feel like a complete success even if I don't lose another ounce! Keep your chin up girl, it's all in your perspective! Donna

I always "weigh in" on Monday, so tomorrow morning I'll weigh myself and then my husband is going to take the EVIL scale and either hide it or take it to work for the week!!! I'm gonna make myself crazy if it stays in the bathroom !! Good Luck girls, Here's to the scale moving down! Doris

Oh honey, I'm sorry you're so frustrated. I think we've ALL had the plateaus we thought would never end. My surgeon told me that during those times, we would be losing inches. Are your clothes fitting any looser? Understand also that you have been working out and that is building muscle which is good, but that weighs more than fat. Keep doing what you are doing, the scale WILL start up again. Only suggestions I would have is to make sure you are getting enough calories in. I know that's when I stall. Plop it into fitday.com. Make sure you are getting in LOTS of water too. You're doing fine....you've lost 75 lbs and your body just probably needs to catch up to the fat you've lost. Pam
