Slow weight loss

I have been staying within my calorie requirements to lose weight for 6 weeks but the weight loss has been extremely slow. I have also been doing daily physical activities and a running group. Anyone else having this problem?

How much have you lost?0

Looking at your profile it looks like you are losing about 1lb a week that is excellent progress! I mean you haven't gained weight overnight you're not going to lose it overnight. Any loss is better than none at all.0
-
How close are you to your goal weight? Is your goal weight realistic for your height? Are you weighing everything you eat on a digital food scale?0

3 lbs and I am in the BMI obese category so there is plenty to lose.0

So that's two pounds a week, which is fantastic.0

Sorry, I went with the 6lbs since Jan 28 on your profile0

But still, half a pound to two pounds per week is sustainable.0

Yes that particular weigh in was on another persons scale. Now I only use the scale at the gym and only the same time of day weigh in. That's why I am extra discouraged. But I am maintaining he plan.0

Do you weigh your food with scales?0 -
No I haven't been weighing my food but I have been measuring food which is a wake up call for actual serving sizes. I do have a scale so I may add that to my regiment.0 -

You're eating more than you think. Cut out another 250 cals to lose 1lb per week.0 -
I can do that!0

You KNOW you aren't weighing your food so WHY do you start a thread to complain you aren't losing weight?!?!0
