Do you use a digital scale or a balance beam scale?
Dont use different scales....measure your weight loss from the same exact scale....because they will all be different....just pick one and go with it...

Relationship trouble?
My wife was a size 8 when we met and I was like 440lbs.......we got married and in the last three years and a child later, she's a size 16 and even before the band I had lost about 50 pounds. Since the band she's resented me and blammed me for her gaining weight and saying that I'm abandoning her because I got the band and leaving her in the "fat zone". She won't go to the gym with me, walk with me, participate in recreational sports with me...nothing. The funny thing is she wouldn't do any of those with me before the band either, but now it's all my fault she's bigger.......... I say all that to say.....if your partner is trying to be with you and supports you....stay put......just my opinion......
