I (32F) have had a very difficult time lately trying to lose weight. I got into running earlier this year and ran a 10K in April to which I prepped several times a week for leading up to. I did weight lifting here and there with this but did not see any improvements in weight so decided to go back to weight lifting/cardio combo.

I gave up sweets for May and then decided for July to try a low carb diet. I have eliminated pasta, rice, bread, processed foods. I never drank soda, alcohol, or fast food so those are things I don’t eat either. I hit the gym 3 times a week for a little over an hour. Roughly 30 min of cardio which is usually the stair master and 30 minutes of weight lifting. I am physically sore and feel amazingly healthy and strong on this new diet/workout plan; however, my scale is not moving… my measurements? The same since I started running.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Is it possible I have something else underlying like a medical problem? Or are some bodies just slower than others? Everything from the internet to AI says I should be losing weight, but here I am at the same weight I have been for two years.

Honestly, I’m kinda of sick of it. I don’t want to be skinny, I just want my body to reflect my hard work.
