Everyone's metabolism is different. Some will lose quickly, and some will not. I'm one of the latter category. In 2006 I gained 20 lbs as a direct result of Tamoxifen. It does not want to budge. In January I gave up all starch and sugar. In 10 weeks I have only lost 5 lbs. I've decided to be fine with that very slow rate.

Keep trying, and try different eating regimens. Not everything works for everybody, including the popular scientific thinking on weight loss. Our bodies all process differently. Some are luckier than others. Good luck! If nothing else, you are doing your heart a wealth of good with your exercise routine.
