    I work out for 15 minutes in the morning before work; 10 mins cardio and 5 minutes of crunches, pushups and leg lifts. After work, I run 5 miles at 10 minutes per mile. I cook all of my meals at home and eat a high protein and low carb/no sugar diet, and find that I only lose about 0.15 lbs per week. I am insulin resistant and have had my genome sequenced, and have 3 different variations of genes that promote obesity, which also is in my family.

    It is SO frustrating to be working so hard and getting such slow results! Is anyone else in this situation?

    I haven't lost the weight, but my body has changed. The first picture I am wearing a 16/18. The last picture I am wearing a 10/12. I have also gone from a 42DD to a 38C

    I do 60-90 minutes of cardio 3x a week, and 60 minutes of strength 2x a week.
