RE: weight loss failure?

[Guest guest]

Kari,

Welcome to the group.

You have been given some wonderful suggestion already. I would

like to see you ask a lot more questions about the mechanics of what is

going on with you. It certainly makes sense to start there.

Secondly, and the hardest thing for me to look at, was my eating

habits. My eating habits are soooo much better then they were 2 years

ago. However, it is far from perfect. I started using fitday.com and

was surprised at my caloric intake. I also realize how much sugar and

simple carbs I was eating. When I went back to protein, protein, protein

I started loosing weight again. I don't know of this is a problem for

you but it is certainly worth looking at to eliminate that as a reason

for not loosing more.
