I think I should have lost more lbs then I have. I have pretty much has cut back tons. My food diary is pretty accurate and I have exercising 5 days/ a week. I'm not seeing the results that I should have. Can someone look at my food journal and tell me whats going wrong.

Thanks!

    Are you measuring only your weight or also your waistline (measuring tape)? Over how long of a period have you been tracking?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you joined this month and you've lost 6 lbs already. If I'm correct, you've got nothing to complain about and you're doing great.

    Your diary is still closed. However, you've lost 6 lbs and just started this month? I think that's excellent. You don't want to lose too quickly. I'm assuming your goal is to see visual changes, not just scale changes. As long as things are moving in the right direction, I'd say that's success. Also, a good read

    Congrats on your success thus far. Don't give up!

    Your journal seems to be closed.

    I would hazard a guess you are cutting back too hard for the amount of exercise you are doing. Make sure your activity level is reflected properly in your goals area. I see you joined recently it can take a month to start to get to grips with what you are doing and see steady results.

    My initial weight when I started was an assumption. I actually got on the scale a day later and that was accurate weight.

    No, I haven't purchased one. But, as we speak I am on my way to the store.

    Excuse my grammar in the original post. Sometimes I type faster than talk or maybe vice versa. lol

    But thank you for all messages. I have made my diary open to critique.

    If so then you are doing great, thats 1.5 pounds a week.
