Thanks y'all! 2feelbetter, in all honesty I stopped eating too many calories. When I say that I have tried everything I mean it!
It all came down to eating 1200 calories and once I started doing that, the weight just fell off. I REALLY REALLY REALLY need to tone my arms and stomach. (had a c-section in 2009) and miss my flat youthful stomach. I'm kind of at a loss how to tone though. I didn't really work out until recently, and what I've been doing are the youtube videos of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. It has worked wonders.
A little secret I have that "tricked" my body into losing weight more rapidly was this : 5 days out of the week I eat 1200 calories. The other two days I eat 2000 calories. So, Sunday to Tuesday I have 1200, on Wednesday 2000, then Friday 1200, and Saturday 2000. It has helped the weight literally melt off.
At first I was weighing myself each day, but have now cut it down to once every few days. Hope this helps. . . . I tend to ramble
