in Introduce Yourself
I have gained an uncomfortable amount of weight over the last few years. Last summer I got up to 189 lbs. since then I have dropped to 178.4 and have been maintaining pretty well. My goal is to get to 158.4, and the sooner the better. I'm looking for a workout I can commit to and willing to try about any diet plan. Any advice would be very appreciated!

    I am also at 178 and I would like to lose 20 lbs. It sound like we are on the same journey. What is your height

    Nice job maintaining. Now you just need to get yourself in a calorie deficit to start losing again.

    ^This. You gotta eat less energy (calories) than you burn. But make sure you eat enough too! If you're tracking calories already and not losing weight cut daily intake by 100 calories and see if that works. If not cut another 100 and so on until you lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. Any more may be unhealthy. It's tedious at first but eventually becomes a habit.

    Height is 5'6 1/2. Tracking my calories this past week I got down to 175.2 I've also been trying a drink called kevita a lemon cayenne sparkling probiotic. I'm not sure if that's helped at all but I'm going to try it more next week and see if I drop any more weight.
