Hang in there.  Each person's body loses at different rates.  I'm 4 months out and down 100 lbs.  Some weeks I lost more and others I lost a little.  I don't get on a scale that often so I loved it when I notice the room in my clothes.  I've spent more on pants because they end up too big on me after awhile.

Good luck and stay strong!  You'll lose the weight.

 Same here! I'm also 2 weeks out today and have lost the same- only 12 lbs total! I must admit I was a little frustrated, too, but I feel great! Best of luck on your continued journey! Katie

Remember that the lower the amount of weight you have to lose the harder it is to come off.  Try to look at it as a percentage.  you lost 10 pounds of the 80ish you wanted to lose.  That is about 12.5% in a single week. Another thing to look at is measurements.  I take weekly measurements with the hope that if I dont see much movement on the scale I will in the tape.

 Don't sweat it!  I cranked up my workouts this week...gym, cardio, biking and only lost 1 lb.  I was losing 1lb a day for a while.  Just stay on track and heal up...you'll be fine!
