Wow-66 in 3 months is great. We all hit plateaus at different times and they last for varying lengths of time. Just don't get discouraged. Weigh yourself just once a week or once every 2 weeks-I know some who only weigh once a month! Are you exercising too? Believe it or not, when I have been on a plateau, I eat one extra small meal a day, increase water and exercise, and it seems to work...hang in there, 66 is wonderful!!
