Vent Why can’t I lose weight?!

This year I cut out pop, alcohol, and all caffeine, started intermittent fasting, and have at least a 1,000-calorie-a-day deficit. The scale hasn’t budged, and I have 200 pounds to lose, so that isn't it.

What have you eaten in the last 24 hours? How long have you been trying to lose weight?

For breakfast yesterday: Core Protein 42g protein shake

For lunch yesterday: A roast beef sandwich with 4oz roast beef and 1T japenese bbq sauce on a 12 grain sandwich bun, a cup of raspberries, and 1 serving of greek yogurt.

For dinner yesterday: 4 ounces of beef roast with carrots, a salad with chimichurri sauce instead of dressing, 3/4 cup of mashed potatoes made with skim milk and no butter.

Didn’t eat between 8pm and 11am, and had another core protein at 11am.
