TRYING TO CUT POUNDS
At 40 yrs old I’m having a hard time shedding the pounds, plus the fact that I like food. I work out every morning for a 1 hr and then do 15 to 20 min of cardio. And I just seem to maintain. I’m about to switch to running every other day about 2 miles and I hope that helps. I do good during the week but then the week end comes and boom I blow it. I’m don’t want to lose any size but love to get down to about 230 lbs, which I’m about 263 now. Here’s to will power.

If you aren’t losing, no… you don’t want to hear it. You are going to have to tweak your diet. Cardio changeup will help. Are you doing HIIT?
If the cardio don’t work, you may have to learn to love food from afar. Sorry.
Keep up the hard work! I’m hoping the cardio changeup works for you!

For one, I think you seriously need to track EVERYTHING you eat for at least a week. A big pain the behind, I know. And not just what, but how much and put that stuff down on paper. You may be surprised how much it comes up to (unfortunately). Another this is start eating only those things that you absolutely know what the caloric and nutritional value is (that means eating at home and frequently cooking from scratch). You may be surprised at how hungry you get when you limit yourself to only those calories you should be having.
All too often we underestimate what we take in.
