180s FOREVER. And I know why, so I'm not going to complain - I stopped making weight loss a priority. It's not a stall, since that implies I don't know what's going on. And it's not maintenance, since this isn't my ultimate goal. I'm just here.

I was freaked out last week with no weight loss but I lost 3 pounds this week so back to no freaking out :) I'm bored with my snacks though, all I ever snack on is beef jerky because it's low calorie and high in protein, any other snack ideas ?- I keep those around 100 calories or less

Can"t slide by that you were SNOWBOARDING when this happened! That in itself is exciting. When someone else doesn't think you are "too heavy" ---very exciting.

I need a good hard swift kick in the rear. I gained a pound this week. To be honest I expected it to be more. I can use all sorts of excuses, I was out of town for two weeks with work, I started a new job...what it all comes down to is my choices. I feel like when I got below 200 pounds I relaxed. Yes, I am overjoyed with my size now. I haven't been this small since I was 13 years old. However, this is not where I want to end. I want to get to my goal. As of now , I am going to get off my ass, get back on plan, and reach my goal.

So ok my holding pattern is holding strong. Ah the joys of stair step losing, well gotta get steppin sometime. I did way too much stepping/walking outside. It was just way too windy & cold for me to go out bike riding. Now I'm waddling around in the house like my little penguin in my ticker. My stats so far:
