Dear All,
My last hope is to get some advice from you, as I am sure you are experts already in losing weight.
I exercise 5-6 times a week, where I usually burn at least 500 Kcal and I eat daily no more than 1200 kcal ( occasionally less than that )
I have managed to lose only 4 pounds in nearly 2 months.
I eat enough protein and cut down on my carbs a lot, so no potatoes,pasta, rice etc.
5 years ago I lost 3 stones and went from size 20 to size 10,so I do know how to lose weight ( or maybe I thought I did ) but now I am between 12-14 and the weight just does not want to go AT ALL!!!!!!
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
P.S Yes, I do drink enough water and I do not believe in starvation mode.
