It's not a good idea to watch every pound on the scale. It's quite easy, and normal to go up and down a couple pounds in a day, and taking it too seriously, as some folks do, will only add stress.
Look at weekly averages and push for 5 pound stages.

I've been stable between 194 and 197 for weeks now, so the next step is to look for a small change in eating or exercise that will move that to the next level, a permanent drop to around 190.

This might mean clearing the old cloths off the exercise machine. Yes, steppers, treadmills and stationary bikes have traditionally made overpriced coat racks.

There are 2 things that got us where we are right now.
Too much food, and too little movement.
You don't like exercise, but you do like food, so the choice is obvious. At this stage, cutting back on your food intake is less work than exercise, and since we like eating, the plan is now to watch calories.

If 1 item is half the calories of something you eat now, then if you switch, you could still eat as much as before, but would still lose weight.
So the trick now is to start making those little changes, even a few calories here and there over time will show up on the scale.
Remember!
1 bite at a time, and 1 day at a time!
