Thanks for sending me the link to your solution. This is my second time losing a lot of weight with WW and then hitting a plateau for a long time and being really upset. It’s just like you said but I consider that I’ve gotten lazy with the program. Portion control probably is the worst–I just like to see a lot of food set out for me and I always think I know what the serving sizes are but in reality I don’t. When I do eat the right portions I see weight loss. I wasn’t slacking with exercise at all–I had even upped all of my cardio (as much as I can with bad asthma) but when I saw myself weighing a few lbs more instead of less, I stopped exercising all together. I skipped working out all last week because I was “busy” Yes i was busy (college student + 20-25 hrs a week at my job) but I know I can still fit in my workouts! Thank you for sending me this I’m going to get right back on the ball of things and really watch my portion control and exercising.

I have been pretty true to the eating part of the diet for the past couple months,journaling every bite and not going over my points. The only thing I can think is I need to change up my exercising. I use the same three pieces of cardio equip at the gym 3 - 4 days a week for 60 minutes and my personal trainer has me lifting a ton of weight but doing the same core exercises (squats w weights, dead lift, bench press, etc) I have recently asked him if we could change things up, I see him tomorrow so we will see what he says. His wife and the other trainers there are all beautiful and have perfect bodies and they all got there doing what he's been doing with me so he swears it has to be my eating. We will see!

I look back at my journal and I have more snicker bars and bread entered than fruit and vegetables, which of course, when I first started, I had more fruit and vegetables entered. Also, my jogging has increased from 15 miles a week to 21-30 to keep off the weight gain. I too am going to take a serious look back at my journals and make a change.

I had less Plateaus and more gaining everything back and then some. I also had to stop lying to myself. I always just gain all the weight back and then some because 1. I felt I didnâ€™t need to journal. 2. I know compare when I am making a guess at someplace out to eat. 3. Iâ€™d deprive. 4. Iâ€™d get board with exercise.

PS I love you blog. I love technology fitness reviews. Your blog and the videogameworkout.com blog has made me want an exer-station for my birthday.
