in Health and Weight Loss
I've been working out and watching what I'm eating for over a month now. I've recently (2 weeks) tracking my calories on mfp. I have only lost 5lbs in the 6 weeks I've been trying. I have about 40 lbs to lose so it's not like I'm close to my goal. I am breast feeding but still think I should be losing more. Any ideas?

    That's a healthy rate of loss for someone with the amount you have to lose

    5lb in 6 weeks is great! Patience.
    Are you measuring with a tape measure as well? In the beginning I found my inches moved faster than the scale.

    I haven't measured but I do see a difference. With how hard I'm working out I just expected faster results. I know slow and steady wins the race. Thanks everyone

    I just wrote on your profile page too... don't get down. It is going at a healthy rate! It took me 5 weeks to lose 2.8 lbs!!! Keep working out and you'll be toning too. You'll get there. Be patient! Don't give up!
