Hi
This is my final week of phase 2 and to date I have only lost 1 pound.

I am 140 pounds and 5'3". I am trying to lose 10 pounds. I did not take measurements. My pants are only slightly loser. I just thought I would see more of a weight loss. I eat about 1400-1500 calories and day and eat some of my exercise calories back.
I dont know what I am doing wrong. I have been completely commited to this program. At this point I feel like whats the point :(

Any advice?

    Have you taken measurements? Are your clothes fitting any differently?

    Take your measurements now! Kind of sucks that you won't have the starting reference, but Phase 3 is WAAAYYYYYY harder than phase 2. You might have a lot of change! Also, aside from your pants only feeling slightly looser, what are some other changes? Do your biceps feel firmer (I know mine did) , do you have more energy? Does your stomach *feel* any tighter?

    Also, are you sweating? I just ask because if you aren't than you aren't pushing yourself hard enough.

    Best of luck!
