Only 1lb in a month!! :(

hi,

Just relieving frustration really. Been logging everything and increased exercise.. But I've only lost 1lb in a month!! Feeling slightly sad that after all of this and reading people's success stories I've only lost a lb!!

Do you use a food scale? Can you open your food diary? What are your height, weight, age and workout routine? And do you have an active job? And is it your TOM?

Make sure you are logging 100% as well as consider lowering your caloric goal. The good news is...you maintained! So you know what to eat in order to not gain any more weight. Keep it up and don't give up.

Unknown

Thank you!!

Have you lost inches? I tend to lose inches before pounds. It is discouraging to see the scale stay the same, but I love the way my clothes feel when they start getting loose! That's what I use to keep myself motivated! Good luck to you!

It's going slowly for me too. But hey 1lb down is better than 1lb up!

Just going to bump this, lol

If you opened your diary and let others look we might be able to give some more accurate advice for you I know it can be hard when it is slow going, but doing it the healthy way will keep it off in the long wrong. Keep it up!

What type of exercise are you doing?

OP finds your questions irrelevant but they are very relevant.

Psulemon, I don't have an active job, I do use a food scale. I'm 5'6 and 14st 7lbs. What is a TOM?

Unknown

I walk 10,000steps per day

Time of the month.

Try eating something every two hours and cut back on sugar. I have tried it all and the only way I lose is by fueling my body often but staying within my calorie intake range. It keeps the body fueled, no cravings and I stay pretty energized.

Bold is what is needed for weight loss burn more calories than you intake. Does not matter how you do it.

Thanks!!

Eff the scale. Check your measurements! Find a set of clothes You KNOW were snug a few months back and see how they fit now. Remember, weight is just a number.

Unknown

Agree the the bloody scale. Will take measurements and will try clothes!

Unknown

And calorie intake

-1 is better than +1

^^ this ...just tighten up your logging, your deficit is smaller than you think is the most likely theory, I know anytime my loss was slow to non existent that was the reason
