I have both a hall of shame award for myself and a trophy award for myself. I am not sure which to give myself. I stayed the same this week, and for the most part I think that is pretty good considering that I was a little bit down this week, and on top of it all, it's TOM time. So, I have decided that I am getting a trophy because I mostly was OP, and that's got to be good enough most of the time.
So often, on diets we are shown by society that we have to strive for perfection. We have to look like a model, we have to look like we did in the ninth grade or we have to exercise an hour a day because that is the most healthy for us (making our half hour worthless). I would love to weigh 135, and when I see some of these motivational stories where women have kicked ass, I hope that is me in two years. Yet, I've set my goal for 160 because that just might be attainable. At this point I'm reasonable. I'm not saying I don't fantasize about that 130 bikini body, but hell I'd take my jiggling, jelly belly and fat butt out in a bikini if I weighed 160 because that would be truly fabulous for me.

Congrats on maintaining. I think that does deserve an award!
As a side note ... My goodness, I have no desire to look like I did in 9th grade. That's a terrifying thought!
Congrats on maintaining! I think the best course of action is to set short term goals that carry you though the long term. It took me a long time to learn to NOT compare my body to anyone else, I am me and thats more than enough
I say you defintely deserved the trophy! Hell I would love to be 170 again and would take my jiggly self out in a bikini too!! :D
Well done for maintaining! Of course that's worthy of the bling!
Take the trophy.
Maintaining is the key to long-term weightloss. Just because you don't have a loss, it is a heck of a lot better than a gain.
One of my favorite quotes was told to me by a former manager: "Don't let best get in the way of better." I think it applies nicely to gaining fitness. Just try to be better than we were before.
