I'm only losing about 4 pounds a month right now, so If I could get to 180 I would be thrilled. I may not make it, though, and that's okay. Every little bit of small progress is still progress. I keep hitting these mono-plateaus (for a week or two) -- then finally I drop another pound or so. Biggest change is in my clothing sizes, so one goal is to be able to wear my old ski jacket (which I couldn't even get close to squeezing into let alone getting the two sides of the zipper to meet). I can get it done up now, over a fleece sweater, but it feels just a tad tight around the hips so I'm hoping to lose another inch by the time ski season starts in mid-December.
