[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So frustrated!

I’m technically within a “normal” weight, but I have some extra fat I’m carrying and trying to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight and into those clothes again.

I’ve been working my ass off —literally— since around Christmas. Cardio twice a day (walking dog briskly, even in the cold, plus running at the gym), a calorie deficit (weighing food even) and I’m only down 5lb.

My friend and her husband have been doing less than me and only since January, and at dinner last night they told me they are down SO MUCH weight. (Her, overweight, is down 15lb, and him, normal weight, is down 20lb!)

Is it just harder for someone in a normal weight category to lose? I feel like I can’t eat less without starving myself (1200 now) or working out more. [/quote]

You know, 5 pounds since christmas is 1/2 pound a week, which is a good, sustainable weight loss. How much do you expect to lose each week? It is more difficult when you are close to your goal weight, because you are already eating close to what you should be for the lower weight.[/quote]
