    I recommend free writing. It doesn't have to happen every day or even every week, but take ten minutes to start writing in a journal or on your laptop about how you're feeling, if you had a tough week, if you've been sleeping less, feel happier, fitter, frustrated. Sometimes its hard to recognize what we're thinking until we see it on paper, it's helped me realize "oh no! i'm tired and frustrated, I should go nap it out before I eat it up!"

    A plateau is not a ceiling to stop you, it is a floor to help launch you to the next level of weight loss.

    I would say that you would have to stay consistently active. What do I mean? Pick up a rigorous sport that you love, anything, at all, but you have to be active almost daily. It has to be a part of you life. Actually I think that is the key determinant. You physical workout cant be a workout. It has to be a way of life. You cant just change your weight you have to change your mind, how you think about yourself. My wife started playing soccer in her mid 20's and along with this program http://cort.as/a29r shed 50 pounds over the course of a few months. Its definately possible, but she had to eat breath and sleep and live as an active person. Good Luck!

    Don't quit. Seriously. Literally everything else can be figured out along the way.

    Replace one food item a day, once a week or two, with another that is less calories.

    Example: BLT > ham and cheese > just ham > chicken wrap > chicken pieces + bread roll > chicken pieces + fruit salad.

    That's 500 to 270, an improvement of 230 for one item at lunch!

    That's my secret.

    Intermittant Fasting. You can eat tell your full (stuffed even) every day and still loose weight.

    This is a big one for me too. I found eating on a 16:8 schedule helps me feel more satisfied at each meal. Though after a few days of eating all day long, I find my stomach is needing to readjust. I definitely was just about deliriously hungry by my usual start time of noon today.

    Be completely honest with yourself. About how much you eat. About meeting your nutritional goals (macros, micronutrient, fiber, salt etc). About how much you move. About how much your willing to move, and capable of moving. That number on the scale, the size of your pants, that's your body being honest with you. Return the favor.
