I'm 26 (in May) and live in Texas right outside of Dallas. I had my first child May of last year and boy did I gain some weight. I shot up to 225 and have since lost 50 pounds of that. I did it through portion control and just really paying attention to what I was eating. However, the past several months I have completely stagnated.
For three weeks I have been walking 3 miles 5 days a week (15 miles a week total equaling to 5 hours a week of cardio). I have continued watching what I eat but still haven't seen any progress!
I wanted to come here and join you guys for support during times like these when I feel like giving up and chowing down on a big slice of chocolate cheesecake.
I hope that I can eventually reach my goal of 135-145 pounds through healthy weight loss. Although I did feel a little of the dark side while walking through the diet aisle the other day... oh to take some magic weight loss pill and have all of this melt away (only to return later I'm sure).
