Ever since I went to college I gained a great amount of weight and i really regret it. Now that I've been out of school for almost 2 years now I decided I really wanted to try to get back into better shape and lose a lot of weight. I have dropped my calorie intake to <1500 calories per day and have been following this STRICTLY for about 4 months now and I have dropped only 10 pounds.
I will admit that I could be doing more activity but it is not like I am completely sedentary. I do some walking every day. Ive seen the breakdowns of how the human body burns calories and seen how just existing makes you burn so much and exercise just burns that little bit on top of that. Not to mention that work fucking kicks my ass all week and the last thing I want to do is go to the gym and have my entire day gone. I feel like I should REALLY be at a calorie deficit but it's like I'm just not. Like just existing I should be burning more than that 1500.
It's completely demotivating
