    I think you are or were exercising too much. When I wanted to lose weight a few years ago, I started hitting the gym for 1-2 hours 5 days a week. During that time, I was always hungry. I ate a lot of carbohydrates thinking that it was okay, I needed them. I justified everything I ate by saying that I had run 4 miles that morning. After about 4 months, I totally burned out. My weight went up like crazy after that and I lost the muscle I had gained at the gym.

    This time I'm approaching it differently. I'm changing my eating habits first and walking. After I have gotten that down, I will start doing more exercise.

    I think, for me, the big change this time is not having a time limit. Not having a goal that I will lose a certain number of pounds by a certain date. Because I do not have a time limit, I KNOW that I will be successful.
