    I was just reading this on Jillian Michael's page, "take a minute to think about what the scale is NOT telling you — like what a strong and healthy individual you're becoming. Do you have more endurance? Have you lost inches from your waist? Do you look better in your clothes? Don't be a slave to the scale." Hope it helps!!

    oh my goodness - I love this!

    I looked at your diary.

    3 things I would tweak are

    1. Start tracking your salt and sugar.

    2. Your diet has allot of good stuff in there! But cut out some of that processed stuff. Make your own pizza. Ditch the candy and chocolate milk, use rice milk instead. Switch up your snacks to be nuts, fruits, etc instead of processed sugar (empty calories).

    3. Eat back fewer exercise calories, and see how you feel in a week.

    ^ This comment. OP, seriously, you can't do this eating processed foods and NOT also track your sodium and sugar = water retention. Also, try adding strength training. Remember, cardio burns calories, but muscles eat them for you.

    I would say cut down a bit on your calories. When I go back and look at your food diary and notice you are consistently going over on your calories, not by much, but it matters.

    Find something you enjoy doing for exercise. If you enjoy doing it, you will not feel like it is a chore to get up and do it... You'll WANT to. That is how I find I am with biking, it's a way to unwind.

    Try out new things, and once you find something new that you love- stick with it!

    Try to eat more fruit & veggies. Fruits with skin that you eat, they have more fiber. Add veggies to every meal. I don't even see one salad in your diary. Ditch the white rice altogether, get some brown rice.
