I currently weigh 265 pounds, in january of this year I weighed 297. I lost a good 15-20 pounds in the first month of dieting, at that point I added in a rigorous exercise program including high intensity cardio and weight lifting. The weight loss slowed down considerably, partly because for a month I wasn't doing as well on my diet. It's now been 3 months and I've lost a little over 30 pounds, though I will say only 2 of those months was I doing a good job, so I lose about 15 pounds a month.
This past week I've bungeed around 265, I MAY have lost a pound or two but since I weigh myself more often than I probably should (once in the morning and once at night to get a handle on the natural weight fluctuations of my body) I get frustrated with the lack of forward progress.
I work out 6-7 days a week for at LEAST an hour, more often than not 90 minutes. I can tell that I'm making progress in my health as I'm slimming down and the weights I lift get bigger and bigger, but I just don't see the scale move as much as I'd like. I know I'm probably losing fat and gaining muscle but I'd still like to see the scales move a little more. I eat 1600-1800 calories a day.
Is there anything I can do to make the scale move a little faster?
