I'm feeling discouraged

I don't know why it's so hard for me to lose weight. I watch my calories and walk for 20 minutes every day.

This is an example of what I've been eating every day for the past year.

Brunch

Smoothie

1/2 cup fat-free milk
5.3 oz sugar-free yogurt: 90 calories
Handful of spinach
Handful of blueberries
Handful of almonds

Dinner

A protein (usually meat)
Vegetable side
Potato, rice, or pasta side

Evening snack

20 pistachios
Stick of cheese

Ive lost 75 lbs and kept off what I've lost over 6 yrs now .. my guess is you need to walk more and/ or cut more carbs. I eat less than 1/3 the refined carbs I used to and I walk my dogs a total of 40-60 min / day, mow my yard with a push mower (1 hr) and shovel snow if <6" accumulation. I do some weight training here/there and need to make that a consistent thing to break current plateau.

Maybe try two 15-20 min walks, within an hour after eating.
