    You use BUMP when you want to "bookmark" a topic , so you can read it later.

    I sympathize with your plateaued weight loss. But you may be very close to your ideal weight wich will make it harder to lose. If that is the case you have to keep track of everything you eat and all exercise.

    To begin exercise. Not that I am a professional or anything but I just downloaded a couch to 5K (a.k.a C25K) and just began walking and I'm building myself up to run.

    GOOD LUCK

    Exercise for me was the easy part. Dealing with food was tough.

    Some ideas for exercise:

    Walking. Walk 30-60 minutes a day. I heard a target should be 10,000 steps per day. You can get a pedometer to count the steps. A lot of folks here are doing the C25K which is a running training program. You can get info on that at c25k.com

    DVDs. You can rent/borrow exercise DVDs at the library before you buy them to try them out. I love my Biggest Loser DVDs. I know some TV cable suppliers also have exercise programs On Demand.

    Why do you think you are having little success? Why do you fall back to old patterns?

    A lot of what goes into losing weight and eating a healthier diet comes from changing how you think about food and how to work through certain issues. For me, I had to stop using food for emotional support. I also had to realize that giving everything I love up for the sake for losing weight, wasn't for me. Instead I had to learn to eat in moderation and become aware of the food going into my mouth.

    Sadly, change takes time and a lot of work. It can be easy to fall back into old patterns because they are safe and easy to do. Once you develop new habits and patterns, it does get easier, it just takes time.
