Slow weight loss

DeniseLovesAvocados40

I have been staying within my calorie requirements to lose weight for 6 weeks but the weight loss has been extremely slow. I have also been doing daily physical activities and a running group. Anyone else having this problem?

How much have you lost?

Looking at your profile it looks like you are losing about 1lb a week that is excellent progress! I mean you haven't gained weight overnight you're not going to lose it overnight. Any loss is better than none at all.

How close are you to your goal weight? Is your goal weight realistic for your height? Are you weighing everything you eat on a digital food scale?

3 lbs and I am in the BMI obese category so there is plenty to lose.

So that's two pounds a week, which is fantastic.

Sorry, I went with the 6lbs since Jan 28 on your profile

But still, half a pound to two pounds per week is sustainable.

Yes that particular weigh in was on another persons scale. Now I only use the scale at the gym and only the same time of day weigh in. That's why I am extra discouraged. But I am maintaining he plan.

Do you weigh your food with scales?

No I haven't been weighing my food but I have been measuring food which is a wake up call for actual serving sizes. I do have a scale so I may add that to my regiment.

You're eating more than you think. Cut out another 250 cals to lose 1lb per week.

I can do that!

You KNOW you aren't weighing your food so WHY do you start a thread to complain you aren't losing weight?!?!
