Reduce intake. Increase what you burn. It’s the only way. Maybe track this permanent change of lifestyle closer than “I think” and “about ...”. I’ve dropped another 100 off my daily starting now I had to cut back to 1800. I’ve increased weight too in the last few weeks again. 😡 come on we’ll get this done! 

@keyten77 what you are describing is the KETO DIET. About 10% carbs 70% healthy fats 20% protein.  

Intermittent fasting is helping me a lot .. and of course calorie count and trying my best to do low carbs as well 

As 60 said, you must either reduce calories or increase activity. It can be as simple as standing more throughout the day rather than sitting, doing some resistance training, or some cardio. 

But it is odd that you wouldn't be losing at 1843 calories per day. Maybe you're due for a woosh or your calculations are inaccurate. Do you weigh portions and remember to log all snacks? 

Don't fall into that trap. It has taken me a very long time to take off my weight. It will be a year at the end of this month and I have not reached my goal. As long as it takes is my motto. No going back! I have faith in you!! 💕  

Keyten77 is right. Your carbs are also in fruits. The more plant based and fish I eat, the better. Beans are also a good source of fiber and protein. Measure, weigh, and count everything. My carbs are slightly higher, but my insulin levels are well within the good range. 

I have also learned weighing yourself everyday is counterproductive. It becomes defeating. My goal is 1 lb a week and that’s a victory. If I don’t lose weight but maintain I take that as a victory as well. I also look at my macros. How many carbs am I eating a day etc keep going !  

hi everyone thanks for the feedback. yes, i do track nearly everything, like 97% to the best of my ability. i used a food scale at home for all my meals, paying especially close attention to high calorie items (ie: i dont always weigh lettuce out but i KNOW that's not setting me back - i do still log it). if i eat outside the home a couple times a week i estimate, and try to estimate to the best i can. i have been eating some treats (namely ice cream) lately but for the most part staying on target with overall calories. i just increased my exercise this month by starting cycling to work 3x per week (50 min round trip), i do yoga daily (usually 15-25 min) and go dancing for 1-2x per week. i did get a 2lb drop today, i hope it continues to go down and i am going to make more efforts. overall, i am still 16lb down since march so i need to still focus on that as a WIN. i do take measurements and they are going down slowly. i will keep it up!  

16 lbs down since March is fantastic! Please celebrate that. That's in the 1-2 lbs per week range, which is a robust and healthy weight loss pace. Don't discourage yourself by having unrealistic expectations. 

Your did the hardest part...Started! As you already know change is difficult...I’ve started my journey 4 years ago and what your experiencing will happen many many times. It’s just part of the process. The gain is in your control because your journaling and weighing in. You’ll constantly tweak to find what works best for you and only you. As like you mentally and emotionally, the body physically is adapting and allow it time...Stay strong!
