Hi Sandy, Sorry to hear that you are feeling so down. 84 lbs. is GREAT!!!!!I have lost 80lbs. since surgery & I know I have not lost any lbs. for at least 4 weeks,& 3 days ago my scale said I had gained 3 lbs. (I retain water when I eat too much salt & at that time of the month) but.... I have lost an inch off my waist, nothing off my hips or bust or arms or neck, but... at least it's something, right?? Are you still measuring your inches?? Even if the inches don't go down as fast, they will, don't worry, it's just WAY slower now. I have heard that when we increase our protein & water intake that it will help. or if we do a few days of just soup & salad it will jump start us again. My computer was down for awhile, but I got a new one, so please email me anytime, I'm here for ya sweetie. Take care & have patience. lol love, ya, Big Hugs, Heather

Hi there. hope your feeling better, I know how depressing it can be weighting for that scale to morer. Think possitive. Your grouchey pouch will wake you up and start moving that weight out when your body tells it to. I have had lots of stall and just keep plugging along slowly. You still look great. jusy look back and see where you were 6 months ago. God Bless .Rose

Hi Sandy, I'm kind of late on this one, but I was in the hospital having my gall bladder removed, not fun! Anyway, Im in the same boat as you are! I have not lost 1 lb in like 6 weeks!!! I am so totally frustraed and I don't know what to do! I started ecrcising like 4 times a week and nothing! I guess our bodies are just trying to adjust to he weight we have already lost, at least I keep telling myself that and keep hoping to see that scale move soon! Hang in there, I know it will happen for us and we will be at goal soon! Shoot me an e-mail if you need to chat with someone, anytime!! Sarah
