It's not useless. It just takes time for your body to acknowledge your effort. The results are coming, hang in there and stay consistent.

Are you tracking everything? I think it really helps to be able to see what's going in and then you can see what's working and what's not. Have you looked into intermittent fasting? Can be very helpful. Especially when low carb....

Tweak it till you get to your groove, sometimes you just have to experiment to see what works best for you. Adkins says do this, WW says do that....take everything you have learned about how your body reacts to certain foods, mix and match the diets to suit your lifestyle. There's nothing written in stone you will hit on the combination that suits your metabolism. If it's not working....change it!

Keep plugging along! Ditto to what everyone else has said. Also the older I get, the more stubborn my body has become!

(Forgive me, but) "For some reason"? You're neither consistently tracking your intake, nor consistently weighing in. #getserious #grindtime #letsgo!

Great posts above E20561...You are not alone, many folks wonder why they can't seem to find the success that others have...If you REALLY want to lose weight consistantly, then you REALLY need to know how many calories you are inputing and where they are coming from...you will need to start logging EXACTLY what you eat and drink...including alcohol, sodas, condiments (salad dressing, etc), fats used frying, etc. You might be surprised at how quickly things add up (I know I was), especially calorie dense foods like nuts, deserts, chips, etc. Weighing and measuring portion size is really important too until you have a really good handle on what 4 oz. of chicken, or 1/3 cup of shredded cheese looks like....while or after you figure out your intake, the adjustment is to find an intake number that works on a daily, weekly, monthly basis that gives your body less energy input than your low output days...any exercise will then just aid in accelerating your weight loss. Also, for further reading, check out a recent forum post (April 15), which has a lot of great info submitted by members, "Dieting after 50 - UGH!" regarding this subject. Good luck, we all wish you success in finding a path that works for you on your weight loss goals! !

If I am reading your numbers correctly you have lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks which is a pound and a half per week which is a very good rate you need to double-check and record all of your foods to make sure that you're not getting some unlisted sugars or carbs also make sure you get at least 7 hours sleep and that you're drinking at least one half your bodyweight in water

Everything takes time. When you work for it you deserve it. To me no gain feels like a loss. Chin up. It probably didn't go up in a straight line, thank god. Unfortunately the downward trip is the same as the upward.
