Stuck and in need of help.
When I looked at pictures of myself back in November, I knew I needed a change. I was so unhappy with myself and knew that a lot of my unhappiness had to do with excessive weight so I made a plan. I hit the gym 5 days a week, I watched what I ate and started to quickly notice results. However by spring time, I had plateaued. I wasn’t seeing any more results. It’s now July and I am back in the swing of things, back at the gym 5 times a week, working hard, pushing hard. I have to break through this plateau! I don’t want to go back to where I started from. My routine usually consists of 30-40 mins of cardio and then I hit the weight room and alternatre upper and lower body. I have started jogging in a forest trail close to home a couple of times a week as a challenge, also I have decided to sign up for some classes. Now, as for diet, I am lost. It seems like the more information you try to learn, the more you realize how much you don’t know and how much information is out there. I don’t want to go on a ‘diet’, I want to adapt healthy eating habits. I want to be able to cook for myself and make healthy delicious meals (not bland bird feed). I just need a change in all aspects - diet and fitness. Can anyone here offer some advice on how I can break though this barrier?
I want to feel the joy of success again and not feel stuck anymore. I am tired of this body. I know I have what it takes to be fit.

There are some personal trainers on this site that will advise you on what to eat/when, etc. Check out teampoynter.com - for about $30 you’ll get an entire eating plan designed to help lose fat. I’m thinking about doing it myself. Good luck!
