Thank you all, individually and collectively you have been a huge help.  Thank you for your kind words as well. 

A different routine would probably be a big help, unfortunately my gym doesn't offer any classes or group activities.  They call themselves a fitness center and they are bare bones.  But they are close to me and convenient.  I'm a guy so that rules out Curves and another place close by.  I am going to have to look harder, there has to be something else.  I think your right dls337 I need something other then a "mind-numbing stint on the elliptical machine".

tammy_180 I'm going to take you up on the buddy offer and I’m going to actively pursue others.  This has been a very personal journey for me so far.  My wife has been moderately supportive, I am not comfortable talking about it to most of my coworkers and my true friends are 200 miles away and I see them 1-2 times a year.  Which was fun being 40 pounds lighter then last time I saw them.  I think I am going to look into the groups here on CC, maybe one will fit my needs or I'll start my own.

I love the food network, I used to watch it all the time.  I will check out thier web sight more I only go there for recipes of things I see on shows I did not know they have a low cal section.

Thanks

Thanks for your help.  Maybe I will try more calories, I think that is what I expected to hear.  It is just tough, it goes against everything I've ever heard about dieting, but it does make sence when you hear the science behind it.  And I will have to check out that book dd.
