Just not shifting.

Much more info needed 😉
Height, weight, age, gender?
What is your activity level?
How many calories are you eating?
How are you logging your food: weighing everything and making sure you use accurate food database entries?
Are you weighing daily or weekly? Is your weight exactly the same or is it fluctuating?

The key in losing weight, and take this from someone who has lost over 192 pounds, is to make small, SUSTAINABLE changes. this is a long term effort. not a sprint. you will not lose weight fast. you will not lose weight every week. you will have weeks on end with NO weight loss. its normal. trust the process.

You've got this. Take it one day at a time, and each day, try to do a little bit better. Don't try to do everything all at once. Don't try to make 1000 changes all at once. Most people who burn out, do so because they try to do too much, too soon. start small. build from there. You did not gain the weight quickly. You will not lose it quickly. Better to lose it slowly, and KEEP IT OFF, then lose it quick, and gain it all back and more!

I've been at this a long time. It becomes a part of your life, and like any other habit, you don't think about it much, really. Your eating habits slowly change. You weigh and log your food. Your activity levels (usually) change, at least to some degree. You become more mindful of what you are putting in your shopping cart and body. My one (or two) words of caution is to make these changes slowly. Most people who go 'All in' head first and full steam, burn out quick. Your first couple of weeks, maybe even first month, most people will lose a fair amount fairly quickly, but most of it is water weight (usually from a reduction in carbs). It does slow down, as your body adjusts. It's normal, and is SUPPOSED to happen, so don't get discouraged. Also, don't set your calories too low. The fastest rate of loss (1200 for women and 1500 for men) is not the best rate of loss. Although very tempting to set it to lose faster, it will make it harder for you to maintain and stick to your calorie goals because you will be ... well, hungry. Be kind to yourself, give yourself a few more calories, and you will still lose weight and be less likely to deviate from your plan and therefore more likely to succeed.

Then I may try a reset and fast a few days
👍🏼🤞❤️❤️❤️

no one, anywhere on this thread has suggested you fast.

If anything, we suggested you eat at maintenance a few days to give your body a BREAK and a REST.

Fasting will cause your body more stress and possibly more water retention.

Are you weighing condiments?

My husband never believed me when I told him he was putting 3-400 calories dressing on his salad til he joined me here and started weighing.

I’ll never forget his hand stopping mid pour as he remembered he forgot to weigh, and his traumatized expression as he realized exactly how much one serving was.

He’s now a Walden Farms convert, like me.

Same for butter, peanut butter, walnuts, sour cream, Mayo, ketchup etc. in his mind, they weren’t “food” per se, so didn’t count.
