I started again at the beginning of March. Was frustrated at the slow progress at first. Then looked at my tracker: I was eating 2000-2200 calories per day. Duh. No wonder I wasn't losing. Then I had a few days at home of revamping when I ate, which just naturally and painlessly reduced how much I ate by about 500 calories a day. Lo and behold, the weight started coming off!
It's about 1/2 - 1 pound a week, which is amazing! Especially when I think about 2-4 sticks of butter coming off me.
This actually feels sustainable too. Before I was changing a lot of what I ate, now I'm eating the same foods just not all at once and in giant quantities.
I guess my point is to be brutally honest with yourself, and if you aren't seeing changes in a few weeks, look at what you've been doing and change it!! And track, weigh, measure, because if you don't know what you are doing (I guess, i think, sort of, most days, won't work) you can't improve it.
