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

You might need to eat more then add some cardio. Eating too little for too long will trick your body into famine and you'll plateau. Also getting the heart pumping harder will melt off the excess. I know it's frustrating. Sometimes what works for awhile suddenly won't work. I've lost 100lbs twice and now I can't get 10 off 😂

@ScreamingFox Yes, I think I plateaued. I'm actually down 8 lbs from my highest weight, but I seem to be stuck. I can't lose anymore. I just started walking with a 12 lb weighted vest. Maybe that will help.

@MsSwan that could definitely help. Your body will get used to the work so increases and changes will keep it in weight loss mode.
