I'm forever fighting the battle of the bulge. I have been counting calories for years and I find it to be the best way to keep my weight under control. I exercise evey day and lately I have found that I am not able to lose weight. I'm hoping that since I have introduced High Intensity Interval Training into my workout instead of running that I am not just burning fat I am gaining muscle. I do feel slimmer even though the scale tells me different but I have decided to ignore the scale and keep plugging away at it.
Good post, I have watched your video and you look like you are in very good shape. I wish I could find someone to workout with but I always hear excuses when I ask someone to go biking or hiking. These days no body seems to have any motivation to do anything other than sit around.
Great idea to forget the number on the scales. There are too many factors that play their part for it to be meaningful. Sometimes the weight loss just slows down. Don't worry about it. Your metabolism just needs to catch up on you. Don't let it discourage you it sounds like you're doing everything right.
A training partner is really helpful. The best way to find one is by joining a fitness class. You will meet like-minded people who need somebody to motivate them just as much as you do. Surround yourself with the people who will motivate you.

Unfortunately I live in a very small village 50 miles from the closest gym. I have managed to keep myself motivated for almost four years now watching videos on Youtube and constantly changing my programs. I haven't missed many workouts. I keep them to two weeks each and eventhough I hate to admit it I keep in mind how women look at me and how they react toward me when they meet me. I shouldn't beat myself up because at 53 years old I can still easily fit into a pair of 30 inch waist jeans and turn teenage heads. LOL. I think my biggest problem is I never seem to get enough sleep.
