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!!

congrats you are 1 lb closer to your goal. I have stayed the same for a whole month but it has really been up a pound down a pound. mine is due to having too many days eating over my calorie range. I'm not beating myself up over it. every day I do my best.

Keep up the good work

That is a quicker rate than I am losing.... time goes by quickly. 1 pound a month is 12 lbs a year. I have learned to accept loss as slowly as it crept on - in my case about 10 lbs a year. I am 275 days 8lbs lighter- and grateful- but, it took A LOT of work- and I'm talking mostly about the being grateful part! lol

Can you open your food diary?

And besided 10000 steps, do you do any formal exercise? If so, did you just start?

Running for the train and bainsworth. Thanks for this info! I appreciate it x
I'll also open the food diary. I don't tend to do any other exercise

Don't get discouraged. What I do now is only weight myself once a week and I take my measurements. Sometimes your measurements will show your real results and the scale may not budge.

I'm going to vote for "you're probably eating more calories than you think." You need to be very accurate.
