Frustrated

I've logged in for 88 days and I'm only down 11lbs. I exercise for a minimum of 40, usually over an hr, every day. I keep my count to around 1,200 every day too. I have one cheat day a wk but that only adds 100/200 extra calories. Any ideas? Maybe more exercise?

    What is your current height/weight?

    Are you weighing your food?

    Can you open your diary?

    Also, 11 lbs in 12 1/2 weeks is a perfectly healthy rate of loss for most people, so it's likely you just need to keep at it.

    Are you eating back your calories? I would. And 11 pounds is awesome.

    what are you cheating with for only 200 extra calories?? are you measuring your cheat food.

    i cant think of any 'cheat day' food that is 200 calories... 1/4 candy bar?

    About a pound a week is good...health. Probably means it will stay off. Good job.

    I'm 5'7 and weigh 189lbs. I do weigh my food and log everything! I think being 47 has something to do with it. Not as easy to lose now as it was in my 30's!
