I have reduced my cal intake to between 1200-1350 and exercise everyday ..atleast 30 min a day...and 3-4 days atleast an hour..cardio..kickboxing..zumba..i have lost only 4 lbs. since i started...i dont get it..i use 1.5 lb weights for each hand..i am going to start a zumba class this week once a week and will continue to do zumba at home everyday. anyone have any ideas or tips? i long suspected a thyroid problem..and still do..although my doc believes the levels are normal..even though they slowed down alot. so .. any ideas...something that works oh and i gave up chocolate for lent! soooo...yay...SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!

    4 lbs in a month is pretty good. It takes time.

    You started a month ago and have lost four pounds, which is about a pound a week. That is a completely healthy and recommended rate of weight loss. Unfortunately, normal weight loss isn't like we see on The Biggest Loser. It's slower and more challenging. The fact that you are losing about a pound a week is great and something you should be proud of.

    That said, the fact that you had a sudden and rapid weight gain could suggest an issue. You could always go to another doctor for a second opinion on thyroid or other potential problems.
