All I have to offer for advice .... portion control, portion control, portion control. Until I made this change I was stuck at 190 pounds .. started out at 210 pounds. I was swimming 1 km three times a week and eating reasonable healthy. I felt my cardio improve a lot but my weight loss had stalled. 2 years ago I made a conscious effort on portion control, easily the hardest thing I had to do for weight loss, I was cranky many nights for about 3 months. Went from 190 to 170 in 1 year and have kept it all off for 1 year.
I haven't read a book on weight loss, counted calories or followed any program. My motivation came from wanting to be in shape so I could do stuff with my kids and hike to the top of Mount Rundle (I've done it 2 years in a row)!
Congratulations to all of you who have made the commitment to losing weight!! If your program is working for you, just go with it.
