I have been doing this program for 46 days and have only lost 11 lbs. I am doing p90x for exercise every morning. the lean program. I am taking in a minimum of 1200 calories per day and sometimes I eat my exercise calories. I am wondering with my stats at 5'3" and my weight at 217 Am I not taking in enough calories? I notice a difference in how I feel and how my jeans feel but the scale isn't showing what I would hope it would. any advice would be great. thanx in advance!

    11 lb. / 46 days = 0.239 lb./day * 7 days/week = 1.673 lb./week.

    That's a good, healthy, sustainable weight loss. Congratulations! Don't change a thing.
