[QUOTE="qe5rt, post: 1245488, member: 234442"] I would think that if you were on a calorie deficit throughout those 6 months you should have lost something, if that was the case it stands to reason that something else is going on. When i'm cutting the first indicator that i'm succeeding even before losing a noticeable amount of weight is needing less insulin. Right now i'm bulking and i require more than double the amount as when cutting. So if you're positive that you've had the required amount of calories to be in a deficit for and extended period of time and didn't lose any weight it's definitely worth mentioning to your dietician or doctor. Otherwise look into the general pitfalls when it comes to losing weight (not sleeping enough, alcohol, eating too little right off the bat, not drinking enough water, ...). Other things to do is exercise along side dieting, lifting weights could keep your metabolism going but be aware that gaining muscle will cause a weight increase so my advice as always is to use a measuring lint to keep track in the beginning (measuring upper arms, belly, upper legs and as a woman maybe even the hips). You could be losing fat around those parts but gaining muscle and the scale would say you've increased your weight while in fact you're on the right track. [/QUOTE]
