I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)

Anyone else want to check in?

I was just visiting the site of the manufacturer of the elliptical equipment I am using, which is Precor, and there is a wealth of interesting articles at http://www.precor.com/cons/en/tools/research, including "How to Break Through a Weight Loss Plateau." The answer, say the experts, is weight training.
I've embarked on the beginning peak performance workout which is a 45-minute weekly workout that trains your body to deal with the buildup of lactate that causes tiredness and soreness. I have more mountains to climb, so I need this workout!!

For those who are running into problems with their weight loss program, is it on the eating, exercising, or attitude aspects?? With me, the problem area is exercising. I'm part of the "sandwich generation" with demands coming at me from all sides. I haven't been able to visit the gym in three days, and it's starting to get tiresome!!

Aaaaargh! A new diagnosis of plantar fasciitis has put a damper on my exercise regimen, such as it was. No more walking for a few months. I'll have to do some upper body stuff in the meantime.
The eating plan is going pretty well--high protein, high fiber, low carbs, moderate fat, lots of water, moderate alcohol. Definitely feels doable in the long run. Turns out, I like vegetables, and don't really miss the bread/rice/pasta/potatoes. Can't wait for farmers' market season!
Attitude seems to be the key. Embracing the plan as a life change, rather than a resolution or a fad, helps a lot. Giving up the boyish idea that I can eat whatever I want is very key!

How about cycling or swimming?

Sounds very smart!
I got stalled there for a while. But I've adjusted my attitude and expect to be making progress again soon.
