dont feel like im making any progress

I used to binge eat a lot but lately I've stopped and have been eating more healthy and I've been exercising a lot. My fitness levels have really improved and I feel much better. However I've only lost like 2 pounds and there's no difference in measurements. I'm so upset as I've been working really hard. I dont want to loose weight quickly because I want to keep it off in the long run but seriously weight loss is being sooooo slow!! ive yoyoed a lot so i dont know if that's f*cked with my metabolism. i eat healthy and i do exercise but theres no difference! maybe my bra is a bit looser but that's it, usually i never loose weight from my boobs. i measured my hips and in fact they went up by half an inch! i did use a different tape measure though. my waist measurements havent changed but yet i feel a bit thinner, but it makes no sense. my body fat percentage is still high, it's 32. I feel I've been working so hard, definitely not overeating yet im not seeing results. i feel slimmer but im obviously deluded if there's no change in my measurements. also i dont know what scale to trust! according to my home digital scale im 12st 5/6 lb. I weighed myself at the gym before my work out and I was 12st 7 and i weighed at home this evening and I'm 12st 6. I feel so dismotivated; I have such a **** metabolism. I hate going shopping because its depressing that I have to get size 14. I think I'm a size 12/14.

I feel like such a fat pig! I want to scream because im so frustrated with my lack of progress. My period may be due but I still should be seeing progress regardless. It's been 3/4 weeks. Usually my weight loss happens faster. I want to loose 2 stone! I hate weighing so much; my BMI is 27. My friends say im normal but im not. I wish I weighed 9 and a half stone but even at 10 and a half stone i look thin. sorry for the rant, im so frustrated.

First, BREATHE! I am pre-TOM, I work out a lot, eat mostly healthy and am a frustrated perimenopausal female due to 5 lbs. We ALL can feel fat and blicky. Are you trcking everything you are eating? That is a tremendous learning process. I find when I gain or plateau-I am not recording a lot...for some reason-mindless picking is not recorded as well. Congratulate yourself for your return to exercise. Maybe get a trainer for more guidnace and support. this is a life long journey with ups and down and sometimes it is good to have someone watching your back in real life...not just online. I respect your efforts-keep going.
