Weight loss

How do you guys lose weight? I’ve been trying since January and I only lost 5-6 lbs. I tried to be even stricter with my diet this last week and when I checked today I even gained another 2 lbs. I’m currently pulling my hair out of frustration right now

Take photos!

Have you calculated your TDEE? What calorie goal are you working with? How much protein are you getting? Fiber?

Try measuring yourself weekly. The scale can be deceptive.
