I am losing weight soooo slowly. Haven't lost a pound for 2 weeks. Before that it was one or fewer pounds per week.
Here's my eating and training situation:
1600-1800 calories a day.
Protein 60 Carbs 200 Fat 65 (average in last month)
I measure most things with a scale. I get confused when eating out, so I try not to eat out.
I do track everything
I don't take days off but log everything. Only exception is if I'm out of town like last weekend. It just got very confusing for me eating at hotels, etc.
Last 6 weeks I have lost 4 pounds
I have a desk job so not a lot of movement, but I also workout 6 -7 hours a week (2 Zumba hours, 1 aqua fit hour, 2 strength training hours and 1-2 hours of either more Zumba, yoga or aqua).
Before January, I was eating MORE (maybe 2,200 calories a day) and working out less (3 hours a week versus 6-7 and NO strength training). I was SLOWLY - like .75 pounds a month - losing weight
I am 5'5", small boned (tiny wrists, etc), weight 149.5 pounds and body fat is somewhere btwn 30-32% depending on method used. I have PCOS which means my tummy is always big...sometimes it's bloated due to female issues so it's hard to get an accurate measurement there.
Last two weeks I have lost nothing but I think I have been eating too much fat.
