I've been doing well tracking daily but I have lost only 7 lbs in one month. Exercise is hard for me since I have herniated disc Any suggestions?

    you haven't said what your starting weight is, but 7lbs a month sounds like a good rate to be losing at. A rule of thumb is that you shouldn't really lose more than 1% of your bodyweight each week.

    You are off to a fabulous start!! 7 lbs in your first month is to be commended. I would stick with whatever it is you're doing!! You want to aim for slow and steady lifestyle changes. Best course in the long run! You got this!
