    How long have you been trying?

    How much are you eating? Are you logging everything? Are you weighing and measuring everything?

    Are you sure you need to lose weight, rather than building muscle to look good at your current weight?

    I've been trying for a few weeks I'm pretty sure I'm logging everything I did have a medication change recently perhaps I should just embrace it as I recently started lifting weights

    It takes more than a few weeks to lose five pounds if you only have five to lose. It takes careful calorie counting and patience.

    Are you weighing your food?
    How many calories are you eating?
    How old, how much do you weigh, how tall?
    Whats the size of your deficit without exercise?
    What exercise are you doing, how much are you burning? whats the source of the burn figures? Are you eating back?

    Eat more for one day, as long as you have been exercising and counting calories accurately and keeping within your deficit, it should help do the trick of dropping 1 or 2 pounds. strange but true
