slow go

Well, you have lost more than me. I have been tracking for a month also and have lost only 2!!! I am frustrated because i am also doing 30 day shred and ripped in 30. I am 42 years old, but am only about 10 pounds from my ideal weight. Do you have lots to lose? Are you drinking enough water? Make sure you are eating enough too. I keep thinking this way, if i lose it slow, it will stay off. Losing weight too fast has not worked for me in the past. Don't give up!!! You are doing great!!

My weight loss is really slow as well, but I actually kind of like that.
It's telling me that I'm losing the right kind of weight - especially as my measurements keep going down (if I can trust my measuring skills).

And the best test of all: clothes!

I have about 20 more lbs that I would need to lose to be at my ideal weight. I have not been working out at all as I can not afford the cost of a gym and my house is too small. I have been meeting my goal food but does it still make a difference if I were to eat more and more veggies? I have changed my diet a lot all ready but not sure if this would help some more or now. I will also start keeping track of the measurements to see what is happening there also. The site tells me that i will lose about 11lbs in 5 weeks and just not seeing how at this rate.

Have you started walking as an exercise? You should always be possible to do that, just around your neighbourhood, through the park etc. You don't really require any equipment and it's a great way to start working out!

I tend to walk for about 90 min a day at a brisk pace (to & from work) and feel great!

Also, the MFP predictions seem to be highly optimistic... I tend not to trust them regarding my weight loss over the next 5 weeks. I'm aiming at achieving my target weight in about double/triple the time.

I will do my best to get out and walk but it is winter here and been very cold and rainy here. So you think it takes longer than what the site tells us?

For me it does, especially as I've got only about 5 kg left to lose. But then everybody is different.
Also, I'm in no hurry to lose it quickly - I'd rather progress slowly and be able to sustain the loss. And, it's also a lot about getting fit and being able to do more stuff more easily (i.e. run / swim over a longer distance).

We've got winter here as well, though a very mild one. It can be very discouraging when you're heading out in the morning and it's still dark, and walk back through the dark but now I got into the habit of doing it, I'm enjoying it enormously.
And it gets even more enjoyable once the days get longer and the weather a bit nicer!

In the meantime, wrap up warm and head out there! It doesn't have to be a long walk! The important thing is to get started.
