    heh i know how u feel, i have 75 lbs to lose. I dont know if you are working out, but i am working out and using weights. For the first month when i worked out the scale did not move, however i had lost alot of inches and it was visible. What happened is i gained muscles, and muscle takes up less space than fat. So hopefully this helps.You will get there slowly. Good Luck.

    I think that the important thing is only weigh yourself on one machine. Every machine will be a little different, so if you stick to one machine at least you'll know when you're gaining or losing :-D

    Also, you have very little to lose... it will take much longer for you to drop those 16 pounds, as opposed to someone very heavy, who will drop the weight quickly. Try eating a little more (still within your deficit). I was eating about 1200 calories plus my exercise, and lost 10 pounds... but then I hit a wall... I even went UP! I upped my calories to about 1400, and all of a sudden I'm back down to 152.

    As said above, take some measurements. Have you noticed things are fitting a little better? Even when my scale stopped moving, I went from a size 9 to a size 8 in two weeks :wink:

    mine fluctuates about 3lbs.. but there's something wrong with it because sometimes it gives me a 116lbs reading.. and 129.... lol... and that's because it's got a new battery!!!! i guess i just need more dicipline when it comes to food... im a sucker for sweets!! :embarassed:
