I wouldn't stop going to the gym... Exercize is good for you on so many levels!

(I wish I were going to the gym more often.)

Since you only have 7 lbs to lose (1/2 stone), have you considered that your exercizes might be building muscle? We learned on the forum recently that muscle weighs 7 times as much as fat. So maybe you really are very close to your ideal "size" but just have the equivalent, in terms of extra volume of 1 lb worth of fat, only its in the form of 7 lbs of healthy, good looking muscle.

It's not the number on the scale as much as how you feel about how you look and feel.

Keep up the healthy work!
