I need help breaking my slump

[topher85]

Ok here is the deal. In april out of shape and sick of how i looked. so i decided to start taking care of myself. I have been able to drop from 235 down to 185, but am now stuck and cant seem to break this mark at all. Its really anoying. Here is what i have done to get to where i am.

1. No more pop. I only drink water.
2. No more junk food. no candy, cake, fatty potato chips ext. the exceptions are the occasional serving of jello or pudding.
3. I do not eat within two hours of bed.
4. I joined a Bjj team to get into shape. Go 3x a week.
5. I try to limit what I eat, low fat ext.

This is how I have droped the weight, how can I get the extra 20 pounds of fat off that I have in order to get to my Ideal weight at 165.

Hell Id be extreamly happy with 175 with toned muscle.

Any ideas.

If you dont lift weights already, do that.

Check out the 7 habits of effective nutrition in my signature, they should help fix any problems in your diet. Also (and probably more importantly) add in a weight routine to go with your BJJ. This will help build/maintain muscle.

one of the hardest things with a diet is the boringness/routine of it. Look into more recipes for your dinner routine (see thread) that fit what you are looking for. There is a ton of stuff you can do with chicken, veggies, and brown rice. I can think of a week's worth of different dinners using those. Most people 'cheat' or 'slip up' due to their appetite craving something different.
