    I have been trying hard to lose weight since March and have only lost 5.6kg (I think this is around 12lbs ish!)

    What I am trying to say is...I don't think that 7lbs in 2 months is bad!!! If you are exercising hard, with a good balance of weights and CV, then you will be toning up while you lose - and also less likely to regain. Slow and steady wins the race!! :happy:

    I know you will see some people who lose like 5lbs every week, but everyone's bodies are different and will lose, gain and change at different rates. As long as you ARE noticing some difference, no matter how small - I don't think it should be a cause for concern?

    I am sure people will be able to advise you on something to boost your weight loss if you have a specific target to work to, but if not, please - just don't panic and keep on pushing!! :smile:

    Maybe it's time you switch things up like your fitness routine, the foods you eat and etc. Here is a link that I use to help me out when I feel I may have hit a plateau.
