re: Trouble Losing Weight

Are you measuring your food and actually tracking it? If not, you do not have a clue how many calories you are consuming.

This all day. I only needed to lose 10-15 pounds (and I eventually did) but I was lying to myself about how many calories I was consuming.

I worked out all of the time, and my diet was very clean in terms of nutrition - tons of fresh fruit/veggies, low to no processed foods, carbs were never processed, etc - but I couldn't move the scale.

It took serious calorie counting to see that sometimes "nutritious" foods like avocados and nuts are extremely calorie dense. Once I figured that out, the weight fell off.

And plus, the thought that "abs are made in the kitchen" is true. I work out much less frequently than I did and for a shorter duration. Still completely able to keep the weight off.
