You will! Just remember it didn't get there over night and it ain't leaving overnight either. Find things to emotional stimulant you, as well as physically stimulate you. things to keep you motivated. It is a constant struggle

Keep at it and you will succeed. I started at 186 and am now down to 155 so it has been a struggle and it has been a healthy challenge. I've learned a lot and have a lot more to learn as I lost the next 20 lbs that are proving to be very, very stubborn. I have been stuck on a plateau for about 2 weeks and I am just going to have to ride it out. I know I am eating right at what I should be and I'm exercising every day so between the plateau and holding water I am just going to have to keep holding on until it passes and it will pass! I have popped my exercise time up (just walking) for 30 minutes a day, to 35, more because I needed to do that anyway, and for the next 3 weeks will pop it up 5 more until I am doing the 45 minutes. When I began this diet I said I was only going to do 30 because I walk on a treadmill and it can get boring, but now that I've hit a plateau I figure I will just pop it up to get my body past this. I have tried to maintain just one small exercise program, I also do arm strength training, because I want to be able to have more to do once I quit smoking. Which I am hoping to do when I am about 8 to 7 pounds from goal. It has always been myintention to either join a regular gym then, or add in aerobics also to my walking to help the drop in metholism that happens when you quit smoking. To say nothing about the eating. I will tape my mouth shut if I have to, or as I told my huband will hide in the bedroom so I don't become a toxic witch, or gain any weight back. I am very determined but it is still very hard. So ya'll hang in there with me and I'll hang in there with you!
