Hey Perky, I hear your pain. You say you are tracking your calories. Have you consulted a nutritionist about the number of calories you should be consuming? And calories aren't always the problem. For many people, the ratio of fat to protein to carbohydrate is important, too. Watch your total carbohydrate intake. For me, more than 400 calories of carbohydrates a day from whole grains and starchy vegetables (equal to about 4 slices of bread) and I have a tough time dropping weight. Be strong, get some exercise, and make good food choices. We can do this!
