      Almost 70 days in and I'm barely down 10 pounds. Started at 174, constantly running between 163 and 165 now. I'm 5'5".

      Increased activity greatly a week ago hoping to finally break the ten pound barrier. (First ten came off within 6 weeks)

      Something is wrong there.

      Yup. I agree. Increasing activity level and calories to see what happens.

      (I'm pre-diabetic, and recently had an entire blood panel run with all results fine aside from A1C and fasting sugar)

      i've been at it for 3 months and have lost 13 lbs :/ but guys do lose faster than women.



      You and me both! ugh :( I don't know why I figured I'd have lost more by now.

      It is not a race look at the positive...slower loss = less chance of gross hanging skin. slower loss = more time to lift so weight goes from fat to muscle.

      This doesn't sound way out of line to me -- 10-15 lbs in 10 weeks should be a healthy loss I would think. My weight changes go in fits and spurts too ... I reach them ... Stagnant for a bit ... But eventually push through them without dramatic changes made. I could be wrong but wouldn't scare or surprise me.
