Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site, and hoping for a few postitve thoughts because I'm feeling discouraged today. I began my new lifestyle late in February, my starting weight was 206. I quit smoking (with the exception of a few Friday nights), same with beer. I've been eating better and keeping my caloric intake at 1400 or less. I joined a gym and use it 3 day's a week. If I don't go to the gym I use a video in my home. I take one day a week to do nothing. I lost 18 pounds, and now the scale will not move. I will admit, however, I do have a cheat day. I will have some pizza or my favorite food in the whole world....Kung Po Chicken. I have found that I am having a hard time finding a balance between strength training and cardio. I love the feel of the new muscles I have, but the cardio helps me shed the pounds faster. I will not give up, but I thing I just need to know there are people out there just like me.
Thanks!!!!!!
 
what made you pick 1400 calories as your calorie range?

You might want to spend some time reading the stickied threads around the forum, especially in nutrition, exercise and on topic.. you'll get lots of valuable information...

Giving up isn't an option when it's a lifestyle change - so make sure that your lifestyle change truly is.
 
oh yeah and welcome to the site - start yourself a diary - it's a great way to get support and get to know some of the other forum dwellers and have funw hile you're here
