Hi all,

I am new to this board, and I am excited to have found it! Over the past 4 years I have lost around 80 pounds -- I have 30 more to go and right now I am stuck. I vascillate between 195-201 and that has been going on for the past year. I want to lose weight, I enjoy exercising (when I am motivated, and right now I am feeling suuuuuper lazy), and I am a food addict at times. Some days I can control it, other days I feel like I am someone else who can't stop eating. I would like to start a family with my husband this year and I want to be as healthy as I can before I get pregnant. I feel that my metabolism has really slowed down now that I am in my 30's and I just can't get it in my head to drop these last 30 pounds. I'm looking forward to taking this journey with everyone because I don't feel like I am being held accountable by anyone, and maybe this board will help me with that.

Good luck Maybe doing something to shake things up will help? Posting what you already do can help others give you some ideas

Focus on the small baby steps! Don't let yourself be overwhelmed.

What is your plan/ strategy? Are you exercising at all?

I find calorie counting the simple and easiest thing to do. Focus on filling foods and eating mostly clean and non-processed foods as much as possible.

Hi Matt,

I don't calorie count daily because it doesn't work for me...but, I eat almost the exact same thing everyday, so I am pretty in-tune with my daily caloric intake average.

I exercise quite a bit. I do at least 4 days of cardio for 60 minutes. I actually enjoy exercising (when I am motivated!).

I am trying to find out what fills me up the most without being too crazy with calories. I'm trying to get it through my thick skull that I can lose these 30 pounds, but I have a mental block on my brain for some reason. Trying to fix that!
