Random Thoughts:  
- Don't think my body really wants to hit onderland. I ate basically the same thing yesterday as I did the day before. I even increased my excercise. Oh well...wont let this upset me....todays a new day.

It's all good Mikey, I'm sure you're body knows what's a good weight for you.

   128.3 !!!!  A new low score!

Marie, enjoy these little victories because you are going to miss then when you hit goal.  I am very happy for you!  It's so fun to see the scale move on down!  Big Hug.

Thanks Elina, I'm actually below goal now, from here on out it's all cake....ohhh did I say cake???

I'm still a work in progress, but hit 172lbs this morning. Yeah!

Hey Mikey, just a thought, have you increased your calorie intake recently? Just wondering because, to me, it seemed like my body would sit at a certain weight range (stall) but then if I increased my calories (in the form of protein) I would start losing again. Maybe your body has become comfortable with your calorie intake and you need to shake it up a bit?? Also if you are increasing your exercise your body may need more fuel. Just sharing what worked for me!!

I'm in a strange position. I'm not intentionally trying to loose any more weight. Therefore I'm not going out of my way to break this stall (if that's what it is). I was happy when I reached my goal. But then I dropped.

My Doctor said my body would know when to stop. Therefore I'm just along for the ride.

I'm just curious if i'll drop into onderland. If I did I wouldn't let myself go below 190.

It's been fun I actually hit 200.5 and then went back up again. Onderland is such a tease

Marie thinks I'll hit Onderland. Frisco thinks I'll settle out around 190.

I agree with Debbies strategy here, I know I've experienced the same thing.  And I'm in the same boat as you.  I really am not so much intentionally trying to lose, but it gives me a thrill when the number goes down.  My husband, on the other hand, says he misses his chubby wife and thinks I'm getting bony.  Men!
I'm only 5'2" so the 120's are reasonable for me.
