Hello all! I'm new to MFP but have been on a weightloss journey now for going on my 7th week. I decided to join MFP as I'm finding out that losing weight is very difficult.
For the past 6 weeks, I have been on WW & weighing or measuring or counting EVERYTHING that I eat & logging it staying within my recommended points and exercising for at least 30 minutes a day 6 days a week including cardio & weight lifting (making sure that I sweat in every workout & change my workouts as to not get bored or used to it). I have only lost 9 pounds in these 6 weeks and getting very unmotivated. Now I know most people might be happy with that amount of loss but I have 80 pounds to lose so I was hoping for more but for the past 3 weeks, I have been losing/gaining the same 2-3 pounds.
I don't have a good support system so I figured joining here would be good for advice & support but good information. Thanks for reading!
