I lost 20 lbs just like butter melting and then nothing....nothing.....NOTHING!!!

Here are some tips that may do absolutely nothing for you but they did help me.

Be sure and eat a very substantial breakfast to get your metabolism started. Your body will not start burning stored fat until you give it something new to work on.

Don't eat after 6PM - nothing. You can drink stuff that has no calories, fat, etc., like tea, flavored waters (as long as they have no calories), etc. This one was very hard to get used to but after a couple of weeks it was no problem at all. I don't even get hungry at night, anymore.

Make sure you are eating some fat. Yes, fat. Butter, avocados, nuts, etc. Not alot but give your body something new so it will let go of all that fat it's holding on to. Also, the good fats help your body work better so, it burns fat better.

Work out before you eat. This gets your metabolism pumping.

Work out several times a day for 5 or 10 minutes at a time - walk a couple of blocks, run up & down stairs, whatever. This gets your metabolism pumping and gets it burning more fat while you go about your daily routine. Working out at night is good but you go to bed so soon afterward that your metabolism doesn't keep up the pace long enough to burn as much fat as it would if you worked out earlier.

Incorporate weights into your work out. When you have more muscle you burn more fat constantly. So, pump up those arm and leg muscles, make yourself more beautiful and burn more fat at the same time.

Yeah, I know, we hear this shit all the time. Everytime someone wants to write an article about weight loss they say these same things over and over again. But they really did work for me and they also made the routine easier to maintain after I lost the weight.

Oh, and for snack time, celery. Your body actually burns more calories chewing and digesting celery than the celery has in it. Unfortunately, I like mine with salt so, then I have to deal with the water retention. But lots of iced tea helps with that.

if I have to eat celery, I'd rather keep the weight on. I detest the stuff. :D

I've always had the best luck taking off weight when I've worked fast paced jobs. Even when I worked at the call center, I at least didn't put on the weight I thought I would! LOL But, I also brown-bagged it!

Good luck! I've been putting on weight that I'll need to take off soon. Let me know what worked for you, ok?

I agree with PW, build up some muscle mass. This has two positive benefits.
A)the increase muscle mass will increase your metabolism.
B) You will be able to throw your husband around the bedroom.

Either way you look at it I reckon he will appreciate the extra muscle control.

The home gym is a great idea.

I lost 50 pounds...wanna know how? I did not stop eating the foods I love, NOPE! I ate smaller portions and walked two miles a day to pick up my kids from school! The weight literally melted off of me. Maybe because I stopped worrying so much about it, but I did learn a trick or two...one, SMALLER plates! Try this and tell me what you think ok...Blindfold yourself when you eat your next meal (try not to poke out your eye with a fork) and then when your body feels full stop eating...then take off the blindfold and you will be amazed at how much food you DON'T eat! Try it, it works!

Now, that's a good idea!! I have been thinking about switching to eating off a saucer, and I'm already trying to do the 5-6 smaller meals thing you always hear about.

I've stopped using the elliptical for the time being. The weather has been great, so I've gone for walks the last two days. Yesterday, I walked about 4 miles. Today, we walked to Target, which is about a mile away. We got some Gatorade for the trip home, and I carried a big bag of potting soil the whole way home. lol Yesterday, I was worried because I ate nothing but crap, but this morning when I got on the scale, it was pretty good news. So maybe it's working. 'Course, I've got a blister on my heel from it, so I doubt I'll be walking tomorrow.

It's so bloody frustrating. The weight used to melt off, and now that I actually crave and eat REALLY healthy foods and work out a lot, it's not budging. Even as recently as a year ago, I would work out 4 times a day for 15 minutes at a time, and I dropped at least 3 lbs a week, without any changes to my diet. Now, three weeks of nothing but steamed veggies, brown rice, and water, and I weigh exactly the same as I did when I started! lol Not fair!!!
