My loss is really slow too. I've lost 11lbs in about two months. But this time I've been exercising which I've never done before. I'm trying not to get discouraged, but every other time I've tried to lose weight it's been with shakes or something else extreme and (IMO) unsustainable. So I've always lost weight very…
