I have been hainging between 176 and 182 for a couple of weeks now, lost a bunch at the begining, then seem to gain then lose gain then lose. One thing that made me feel better was that even though I didn't lose weight, I looked better. I take a digital picture weekly and when I dont look, i look at the pictures side by side and boy can you tell the difference. It helps me not to feel so bad about the scale.
