Hiya my name is Abi,
I am new to the forum and have joined for the obvious that i wish to lose weight!
I was on a high protein diet, my frame was getting smaller but the scale was near enough staying at 189lbs, it did go down to 186lbs at 1 point and up to 191lbs at another.
Recently I have got bored! I was walking to work every morning, at 6:45am for just over an hour and then back from work and i just don't feel like i was loosing enough weight and the weight i did loose just wasn't coming off fast enough.
Eating better and drinking 8 pints of water a day made me feel much better in myself and much more active but all that exercise, eating well and getting nowhere is a bit much!
I need some help before i give up completely anyone?

Abi,

I am new here and from what I've read may get into trouble unless folks take the time to check me out.

That being said, I understand your angst. I'm a recovering alcoholic, recovering nicotine addict (nearly seven years without a drink or smoke). Five years ago I lost seventy pounds and kept it off. Nothing magical in that -- reduced calories, began eating the good stuff and avoiding the bad stuff, and exercising daily. I had a little more motivation than you seem to have -- diagnosed heart disease.

Now, here's the dangerous part from what I've read here. I did a website to share my story in case folks need inspiration or suggestions of what worked for me. Nothing for sale there. Absolutely nothing. No adsense or anything else. Just a high school counselor trying to help. SPAM REMOVED

Read the part on want-to vs. willingness under Tools. From your post, it sounds like you have the want-to, but are having problems with the willingness.

It's entirely possible that you don't need to lose weight. If you are working out and your body shape is changing, then that might be all you need.

Hard to say w/out any more information ... things like how tall are you? are you male or female? what do you eat on a normal basis? etc.
