I think it's okay to complain - as long as you don't let yourself get too far down and go back to old habits. I found it very frustrating and disappointing... no matter how much I told myself to look at the total amount I'd lost. I hit a stall and lost 1 pound in three weeks. Everyone except my doctor and his nutritionist told me to cheer up and look at the big picture. I felt validated in my disappointment when my doctor said yes - I was losing slower than the average. He had me come in and test my metabolism. It ended up being faster than the average person so they said I should eat more to break stalls. I've lost 12 pounds in the two weeks since my stall broke. Your's will break too - I wish you the best!

Ok I know its down and not up... But still my first thoughts are to eat less..then I think how much more less can I eat?? Sigh...just complaining LOL 39 pounds down isnt anything to shake a stick at! IM happy...I really am grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
