Hi I’m a 71 yr old woman who’s been dieting all my life.I started once again charting my food expertise on Jan. 3.I have lost a mere 2.2 lbs and that was the first few days.
I don’t know what else to cut.

    That was mostly water loss. Fatloss takes time and patience. Give it a few more weeks and if no further loss you’ll need to lower your overall weekly calories.

    What is your height and weight?

    It's been less than two weeks - patience is the first thing required for weight loss. Give it a few more weeks and if there is no more change by then, you can think about making adjustments.

    Not knowing your goals, a normal rate of loss is 1 lb per week. Anything more than that is “fast”. Log food and weigh yourself consistently and you’ll be able to track the trend. Weight loss isn’t linear. GL!
