WHAT are you eating? As mentioned before, this really becomes a lifestyle change. I started the change over 2 years ago. Major changes in the past 6 months, based on many nutrition articles I'd read. Now I no longer crave the junk foods, so that really has helped me maintain weight this winter. I struggle with the winter blues but work to keep myself from eating junk to get the serotonin rush. I hit the bike instead.

You are ahead of where you were last year. Try some cross training to break things up. Keep things fresh. As my shoulder heals, I long for the pool. Something different, but helps with everything.
