[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 5'8 and weigh more than I ever have 160.   (Other than when pregnant).  My best weight is 140-145, as I am larger boned and just kind of a dense body build.   I am pretty attractive and I dress nicely, so I still look reasonably good, but this is ridiculous.   I have had a trainer for over a year and I still can't lose weight.  My 6'2 very fit (10% body fat) husband weighs 163.   Very depressing to me, especially since we dealt with the discovery of some near cheating incidents on his part earlier this year.   (we saw a MC and are doing much better).

I have started running, which was sorely missing from my work outs (cardio in general) and it is so hard for me.  I do a moderate 6.0 for two minutes then 4.0 for 2 minute run for 35 minutes and my heart rate is in the high 170s!   I am 42.   My diet is decent, other than the two sometimes more glasses of wine I have most evenings.

I really need to be motivated and feel better about myself, but I feel stuck and that nothing I am doing is working.   All advice welcome.   (BTW, I realize this might sound a bit neurotic, I am highly aware that there are bigger problems to have, but this is an anonymous board on beauty, fashion and fitness).  [/quote]

OP - how is your diet, can you be more specific than "decent"?  I hear you.. it can be difficult and frustrating.  I've found that "shocking" my body by switching it up at the gym and changing my diet once in a while kick starts weight loss.  I've recently cut out cheese, switched to almond milk and no soda or juice (for the most part) - I also barely eat any meat, mostly just fish. In conjunction with mderate exercise, I'm seeing great results. It's not always easy, but don't give up- you're on the right track!
