I really should use my Concept 2 rowing machine that's just sitting in a corner of my house to get some cardio in, but I'm being really resistant for some unknown reason.
I don't know if this is true, but I have a fuzzy memory of reading somewhere that if you were at a certain weight for a long period of time, it's like a set point, and you tend to plateau at that weight while trying to lose. If that's true, my current stuck point would make more sense to me as I was between 154-158 for years in my early 40s.
