Weight loss

I lost a lot of weight in the winter of 2000. I wish I had a blog then, because I can't quite remember how I did it. I lost about 25-30 pounds in a matter of a month and a half and was pretty successful at keeping the weight off by watching my diet and working out at the gym at least 3 times a week. Late last year I started feeling really lethargic and stopped going to the gym. That continued till the first half of this year. Not surprisingly, I have put back 10 pounds. I started going to the gym again since May, but I haven't had any success yet in shedding weight.

I don't believe in the diet pills etc. I think the whole diet industry is a big sham. I think what works is proper diet and exercise. If you consume less than what you expend, then you will lose weight. I am pretty good with my diet in the morning, but I tend to be weak in the evenings when I get home. I have the urge to munch on something that I succumb to. Proper diet is all about staying mentally strong and disciplined. I have got to return to that mode if I want to get back to my ideal weight.
