hjcopeland-that makes so much sense. thank you.

What should I be doing to change my lifting? Right now I do 3 sets with 10 lb weights, and 3 sets with 5 lb weights, plus 150 sit ups, and about 20 push ups.

I have been excersizing at this exact level for years. The difference is cutting back on calories. Also, I am 32 and have gained these pounds just in the last year. Some places list my BMR at 1400, others say 2000!
