Only 1 pound this week!

[Hula18 0]

I had my revision done on September 4th. I have lost 35 pounds as of today.

I can eat about 3/4 of a cup of food at a time, however I am sure I could eat more. I eat Protein first then vegetables. I do not eat bread, Cookies or anything like that. If I have a snack it usually is veggies.

I have gone from dormant to about 15 minutes on the bike....I know isn't much but I am working on it.

I rarely eat more than 600 calories a day. I keep a diary on my iphone of everything I eat and drink and also my steps and exercise. I am having a hard time getting my protein above 50 with drinking a Protein Drink.< /p>

I guess my question is this. Am I doing everything correctly? Why only one pound this week?

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You should definitely work on getting more Protein in and probably more calories if you are almost 2 months out. You already know you need to increase your activity. I am sure once you do all of that, the scale will be moving again. But even if you do only continue to lose a pound a week, you will eventually get where you are going! I was down to only losing 2 pounds a month the last few months, but I did eventually still reach my goal.

I am 14 months out and have lost 90 or so pounds as of now. That averages out to roughly 1.5 pounds a week. What you lost is not uncommon, and is in fact, average weight loss. Some weeks more, some weeks none at all. Don't sweat it, take @@JamieLogical's advice and keep up the good work!

Sounds fine. If you need to supplement with 1 shake a day to hit Protein goals, then go for it. Some people prefer a Protein Bar instead of a shake. I say whatever works. My doctor is fine as long as most of my nutrition comes from food. I would try to get more protein than 60 gms. If you add plain greek yogurt to a shake it ups the protein. Another option is diluting a Protein Drink with Water. You increase your Fluid intake and up your protein as well.
