As happened last time I was trying to lose what I'd regained, it is coming off very, very slowly. My workouts are very good, but then exercise is only about 5-10% of weight loss. Think I'd better have some 1200 calorie days, then 1500 on workout days. That should shake up my metabolism.
I've only lost 0.8 lbs since last weekend. :(
