go to the gym three times a week doing 45 min of cross fit.
and nothing is happening . I see so many people are loosing so much more by now.
just got me so down.

I'm six weeks out and only lost 14.7lbs the first month. I had much to celebrate as I dropped 3 dress sizes by now!

I have been losing approximately 2.5lbs a week steadily. I'm still on soft foods and average about 700 cals too. I did a body composition and I have gained muscle since I started exercising two weeks out, hence the drop in 3 dress sizes.

Please check with your doctors to rule out any medical conditions, and also see about taking and tracking your body measurements. Try to celebrate the non scale victories (NSV)! Have checked your blood work yet? How do those numbers compare to when you started?

Best wishes!

I did do blood work all good. I started today doing my measurements . How much exercise do you do? Maybe I don't do enough I don't no

Your progress is outstanding. This is a marathon that lasts the rest of your life. It is not a race. As long as you are getting 60-80g protein and at least 64oz water....closer to 100oz is better you are doing everything right. If anything, you may want to increase your calories. But most important of all, don't get hung up on the scale numbers. Have someone hide it if you need to. I don't even own a scale and that didn't stop me from losing over 100% of my excess weight. And I didn't have a stupid machine stressing me out the whole time.

Hi thank you helped me feel better. I do go on the scale like three times a day lol. And it is hard to get up to 900 calories
