I think that you said what I have been feeling. I can't imagine how frustrating losing the 64 and gaining back 40 would be. I know that I had gotten 25 off and put back over 10. That has done a number on me! Don't give up though! I think that you are SO right about reevaluating and starting fresh. I too feel that when my weight was a little higher I was bordering on the diabetic thing too. It is scary.
The good thing is that you know what caloric intake will allow you to loose AND you are VERY dedicated to your exercise. You are Awesome on that stair machine!!
I know that my mom (who has diabetes) has said that when she exercises for 30 minutes her numbers are much better the next day. I think if you stick with your goal of 30 or more a day not only will you feel better, but the weight will come off too!! 
I think having the treadmill will be great also! It will be nice for you to be able to spice things up. You can alternate so that you don't get bored! Also your muscles will benefit from the change in exercise!
The only suggestion I have for you on the food side is to maybe try to get more fruit. I don't see any in your last few posts. I find it hard to get in my fruits and veggies, but they will help give us the nutrients that we need and are usually low cal and filling!
You can do this!!! I can do this! We can do this!!

I could maybe try some fruit juices, but still, too sweet to me. I have been doing much better on veggies than I thought tho. According to my meal charts I am supposed to get 2 1/2 cups of veggies a day. I'm really bad about cooking when I work esp, so I have been cooking up veggies and putting in these little tupperware bowls that I can just grab and take to work with me. I always take 2, one green beans and one mixed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Usually I also have a salad, but this week I ran out of lettuce. Well, I thought those little tupperwares were 1/2 cup, so I was getting 1 cup per day, plus salad. But I had Kev read the bottom toay and they are 1.1 cup each! So I am getting 2.2 cups, plus usually salad every day. 
Not bad. I am gonna watch a little tv tonite and get on the stairmachine for a few more minutes, maybe 15 or 20 so I'm not going to log the exercise quite yet. The treadmill worked fine, it squeaked a little and is kinda noisy, but it worked fine. It takes your pulse too so I was checking that. Its takes a while for mine to go up much, same as always, but it was up in the high 120s after 20 mins or so. I will work on that. Its always that way tho.
Way to go on the resisteds!! 
I totally laughed out loud on this...thanks...I needed that one!!! PM me your address, I'll have my DD7 start working on the hearts for your V-D tree!
