I want to lose 5 pounds and I can’t lose regardless of what I do.

    What have you tried so far?

    This question, and for how long did you try those things before switching to something new or giving up?

    Ditto the how long have you been trying and are you using a food scale? If this is your last 5 lbs to lose, you might only lose .25-.5 a week. You’ll probably have weeks where you don’t lose at all. And you are going to need to be SUPER accurate regarding your calories and activity (assuming these are indeed the last 5 lbs to get to goal).

    Why 5lbs? What is your overall goal? 5lbs seems very specific.
