I am stuck

2 to 3 weeks is a bump in the road, confirm you have your goals set to reasonable amounts, and that you are eating a balanced, nutritious diet, and exercising regularly at a moderate to hard pace for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week, and give it time. Patience is the hardest part of this journey, but it's also what's required the most to ensure sucess.

If you turn to eating in times of stress, examine that, figure out why that is the case, and build off that knowledge. As I have said in the past.

food is fuel, not a fallback option for every time something goes wrong in life.

Are you a body builder? Thanks for the advice. You are so right I need to remember that food is fuel for our bodies not a hobbie or a crutch. I really want to do it right this time. My ultimate goal is to be at my ideal healthy weight by next summer. I exercise everyday and love to. I need to talk to positiv e people who live a healthy life. That really motivates me.

body builder? LOL, not even a little (although I do weight train). Just a guy who has been doing this for a while (I'm about 2 weeks away from my Personal Training certificate, time permitting), but started out about 2 years ago just like you. 55 lbs overweight, and out of shape (as many of the veterans on here will attest) I gained most of my knowledge through lots of research and a slightly obsessive personality. but I help when ever I can. So you can be confident that I know exactly where you are coming from.

best luck,
