Cant seem to lose it?

  • Im 5'0" exactly, short I KNOW!
    I did WW last yr. and lost 15. my goal is 5 a month till May .which is my bday. TURNING 30! Its a big goal for me, because my whole 20s I spent overweight.
    I need to lose 5 a month, to reach my goal of 25 lost total.
    Im not losing it like I want, am I doing something wrong?

    yesterday.
    I ate:
    wheat waffle and sugar free syrup
    with coffee, 1 splenda

    tomato soup, canned (progresso) with 1 pkg of melba toast.
    water

    went to eat out, had veggie plate (while my hubby at CHEESY PIZZA- oh well) and 1 roll. veggie plate was corn, mashed pot. asparagus, and green beans.
    tea with lemon, 1 splenda

    this is how I usually eat, but I dont eat out thru the week. I save my 35 FP for the weekend. I started Jan 1st. and have not stopped. My scale said I lost 2 pounds. am I on track???
  • 2lb isn't a bad weight loss for the 2 - 3 weeks since you started. perhaps more veg and fruit is needed.
  • Personally I see a lot of carbs and I don't know if you aren't eating protein on purpose?

    I would definitely add more fruits and veggies throughout the day- even if it's just throw in a snack of an apple or some celery and carrots or something.

    I wouldn't eat mashed potaotes either- when you eat out I am sure they LOAD that stuff with butter to make it taste really good.

    I miss potatoes lol.
  • are you working out?? or at least moving more?? if not, that might give you a little boost!
  • i agree with the others - more fruits/veggies and lean protein (unless you're a vegetarian) and working out.

    btw we have the same goal. i want to lose 25lbs by May for my 30th birthday.
