Having no energy as this is so limiting.
Hello minesajack and welcome to the forum. :D

Tell us something about you, weight height etc and what does your 'diet' consist of. What did you eat yesterday, please? If you give us some information then we can help. Someone will be along very soon afterwards! 8)

Hi minesa jack!
You may have done nothing whatever wrong.
What medication,if any, do you use?
What diet are you following?
with that info, I can try to solve the puzzle.
I'm a slow weight loser myself, but I have managed to keep from gaining( whilst trying to lose) for the last 3 months.
The Atkins Fat Fast is the ONLY guaranteed way I can lose. I can only sustain it 3 days maximum. It's very rigorous.

Do your clothes feel looser?

You are doing such a lot in the gym that you are bound to be gaining muscle - which is good, but the weight of the muscle tissue you have gained, may be greater than the weight of the fat you have lost.

Your eating regime sounds very good - but if I were in your shoes, I would cut down on the carbs and take a look at portion size.

Weight loss is very odd - you can plateau for ages, then it will suddenly shift - and there is no prediciting where you will lose it from in what order either!

Good luck - :D

I can add that you might have more success if you count carbs rather than calories.
Atkins Induction, or the South Beach diet are both good for blood glucose control and most people will lose weight.

Tell me about it! I have lost 1.5 stone, and i was expecting it to come from my extremities (fingers, face) so i can get my wedding ring back on, but no, its all come from my middle, of which there is still plenty of it to go yet
