Back on track -for now...
 

I've been pretty frustrated with not going under 179 a month ago. I
went back to my junk food and gained 9 pounds in 10 days. Now I'm back
on tracker, hopefully for good. My thinking is not complicated: Of all
you eat, make it 80% vegetables and fruits. My blender is back in
service.

Maybe it's an April thing. I was thrilled to hit EXACTLT fifty pounds
lost at EXACTLY my six-month mark...and lost two crummy pounds the whooooole
month of April. I told myself this is normal, and to not get discouraged
(that three week plateau SUCKED) and that now I am workingout,and things are
shifting and firming (and I DO feel a diffrence inmy lothes) but still, that
scale laughs at me, I swear. I'm blessedly OFF this weekend, a rare
occurance in the retail food industry, I'm embarking on a three day
tea-fast,and I'm going to hit the gym HARD in a Biggset Loser last-chance
workout, try to drop under 170 by my Monday morning weigh-in. I know--I
KNOW--that is not good an not real fat loss, but I need that psychological
boost, I'm jonesing for a good hot-carb binge, and with Portofino's JUST
opening yesterday by my house, I gotta distract myself with something. The
tea thing should do it--if nothing else, I'll not be able to get far from
the bathroom this weekend :)

Hopefully you are right about the "April thing".

Here are some simple suggestions:

Cut the fat!
Basically, these are the processed fats: hydrogenated fats, polyunsaturated oils that have been heated, and fats that are combined with junk carbs.

Cut the carbs!
Basically, junk carbs are low-fiber carbs, like sugar, fructose, flour, cornstarch, fruit juice. For example you should eat the whole fruit instead of fruit juice.

Cut the calories!
Most people do not need an ultra low calorie diet. But just think what your diet would be like if you dropped the processed fats and the low-fiber carbs. You'd be eating mainly natural proteins, with lots of vegetables plus whole fruits - and the odds are that you would be eating far fewer calories as well. That's the kind of calorie cutting most of us should be doing.

Eat a balanced NATURAL-FOODS diet.
By natural foods, I mean lots of whole vegetable foods for vitamins and fiber; moderate to small portions of meats, fish, seafood, and other animal and protein foods, grilled, stewed or baked; and small portions of fresh whole fruit in season. This is the diet on which for the vast majority of people, makes for optimum health.

Additionally read some healthy diet literature for motivation and have some consistent exercise activity. Any good sport will eventually help you lose weight; if there is one that you actually like engaging in, go for it.

Dieting is not easy and it takes a time. But the most important is to do it in a healthy way.

Good luck!
