Looking for motivation.... i am a preschool teacher!

Hello. I'm 186, but my GW is 155. I'm a 4th grade reading teacher. I would love to be your support.

Pre school teacher since Jan of this year I have gained 10 pounds after being put on a med. Now that I am slowly being taken off the med, I have to deal with this weight gain. I actually spoke with a dietician July 3rd to assist me is losing the weight, she was concerned about the amount of carbs I have been consuming , so she recommended 45 carbs per meal, 3 meals a day and 15 carbs for 2 snacks a day, just keep up with these numbers. Like subtracting them from your check book Breakfast start out with 45 subtract what you ate, no carrying over leftovers to next meal. Lunch 45 carbs, Dinner 45 carbs and Snacks 15 carbs. Switching over to whole grains instead of white grains. Lots of Water and measuring my food. So I know what I weighed on July 3rd and I go back on August 21, to find out how this worked. Also did I forget to mention the exercise part, I was in the gym everyday, until my incident accrued and then had to stop so I actually went back to the gym for the first time since Jan, on July 5th. Sore yes put it felt good to be back starting all over again at the gym.
