About a month in and only down about 5 lbs...clothes are fitting better but i would expect more by now. Can get very frustrating as i watch every calorie and feel guilty if i don't exercise everyday!

I could use words of wisdom...or the very least encouragement! Please feel free to add me if you are in the same boat!

    5 pounds in a month is healthy weight loss! Don't get discouraged. Weight loss is not an instant thing. It's a long and often times tough process. In another month I'd say you'll start to notice a difference in the way you look, but mostly in the way you feel. Don't give up.

    5 pounds is great! I know it sounds small, but you took the first step of a long journey. Keep up the great work, and your spirits!
    I have similar goals as you, feel free to add me.
  • Thank you! I know muscle weighs more, but i would just expect to see more pounds off.
  • I am two months in and only 7lb lost, I know the feeling x
