    How are you measuring your food intake? Are you using a food scale? Measuring cups? Estimating with the help of food labels?

    You have already lost 9lbs! That is still something to hold as a partial victory. Some people lose faster than others, but it's about what works for YOU. I would suggest to carry on doing what your doing- you'll get there, it might just take longer that's all.

    " I have lost 9 lbs in 7-8wks"

    Congratulations on your continued weight loss. A pound +/- a week is a good balanced achievable plan. Keep up the good work. You'll attain your goals in a reasonable time.
