If one exercise is not working for you perhaps your body has already adjusted to it. From what I have read your body adjusts itself to your routine and tries to maximize its own efficiency. Since you have walked for three years, your body is probably already very efficient at walking and is able to burn the least amount of calories possible for this task. This is why people complain that the last 10 pounds are the hardest to lose. But don't give up! Perhaps amp up your routine and start jogging or walking while carrying small weights and swinging your arms. Or change what and when and how much you eat. If all else fails, try a personal trainer or consulting a doctor that there isn't an underlying medical condition like insulin resistance. I am trying to lose weight too so I feel your pain! Good luck.

It sounds like you are pretty active, so my advice would be to try and reduce calories, depending on what your caloric intake is at.  About how many calories do you consume?  Try to get down to 1500 for weight loss.  That's the only advice I have.  I know it can be discouraging.  I started last January to improve my health and lost 25 pounds by May.  But now, 1 year later, I haven't lost the last 25 I need to be closer to my ideal (I started really heavy).  Good luck, keep up the good work, and remember your health is improving even when the weight isn't always where you want it!

Cutting down on caloric intake and exercising should help.  It will be slow - but take it on slowly and it will eventually show great results.  : )

The diet plateau is just a temporary condition.  Lots of people give up at this point.  It may last 5 days or so.  Then the weight loss will continue.  Don't lose that will power!  You can do it!

The only real way to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off is to increase your exercise and cut down on your food intake. Your goal of two pounds a week is a sensible and achievable one. The first thing you have to do is decide that it is what you really want to do. i.e. more important than snacking or lying on the couch. You need to change your life i.e. get up from the computer. It really is not that hard once you make up your mind to do it. It also helps if you can do it with a freind or partner for encouragement. It worked for me. Lost about 60 lbs two years ago. Went to the gym about 3 days a week for 2 hours per time. Walked a lot. Decided to eat smaller amounts but more often and slightly reduced my overall intake. Did not snack unless I was really really hungry. I have gained back a bit of the wieght I lost as I am no longer going to the gym but I seem to have leveled off no with an overall loss of 35 lbs. Good luck. John

I know you told us not to tell you that you don't need to lose weight, but...You don't need to lose weight. What you need to do instead is tone your body--you will look like you've lost ten pounds, without the adverse effects of having actually done so--and you'll be stronger and feel healthier, as well. I'd suggest signing up for a gym membership and getting a personal trainer who can help you tone your body.

Your body may be at a plateau.  Give it time to adjust.  Your body may be trying to play "catch up" with your loss and is "getting used to" your new weight.  Depending on how much you're exercising, you may actually not be eating enough.  Also, when you add exercise, you may see a gain the first 2 weeks or so and then you'll start seeing a loss, however, you'll see your clothes fitting differently.  If you attend meetings, talk to your leader. She can look at your food diary and see what you're doing & make suggestions.

Wow, I was just thinking about that too. I'm not really "consumed" about my weight to the point where I am obsessed, but I am not really content at this time at my current weight. I have been procrastinating on the weight loss/diet endeavor, probably because it's been so long since I've tried and whenever the diet/excercise regime lags, the weight just comes pouring back and it becomes a vicious cycle.  Now, I don't know what type of doctor you would talk to, unless it was your own family physician as a starting point.  I often wondered if those people who advertise hypnosis to lose weight were legit......please let me know what happens to you as I am very interested to see if what you decide to do works for you....LOL

Do you eat sugar?   If so, stop........the pounds will drop.  Are you active?  If not.......get active.  \n\nIf you do not see a difference in one week or even 2 days.  I'll eat my words.

Join weight watchers, it worked for me!  I lost more than that, and I have not gained any of it back.

I'm sure that I won't be the first person to tell you this.  Any quick weight loss fix like a patch or a pill is not the answer.  You need to change your diet to a healthy one and maintain an active lifestyle.  that's the ONLY way to lose weight with the exception of gastro-bypass surgery.

lack of protein perhaps....

Good for you!  \n\nI finally got serious about losing weight 18 months ago; and I'm relieved to report that I've lost 42 pounds, over 15 inches off waist & hips, and the weight is still coming off.  Lots of walking and some weight training; eating more veggies and less of the bad stuff; get enough sleep and try not to stress out too much; take some vitamins especially Omega 3 which does wonders for the skin.

Rapid weight loss such as jessie and tsinbg have stated is not very healthy. There is no diet that will give you perminate results, they are all temporary solutions. Try counting calories and exercising more, a good free site can be found in my sources that will keep track of your calories and exercise and weight loss and has a message board with many great motivational people who help you lose weight in a healthy manner

I had an undiagnosed thyroid problem and when put on correct medication I lost 35 pounds.  I need to lose another 35 pounds, and recently joined a gym.  At first I went to the gym every day and ate less than 1,000 calories.  I lost one pound after a week of 6 miles a day on the treadmill burning over 1,000 calories a day.  When you over exercise and cut calories your body thinks you are starving.  You will actually be better off taking a gym break a couple of times a week and adding more calories.  It sounds counter-intuitive, but it works.  I took two days off the gym this week and ate more and now I've lost 2 pounds this week by exercising less and eating more.  It's a fine balance.  Don't overdue it because it will just slow down your weight loss.  Good luck!
