Frustrated with weight loss

Im at my wits end..I've been trying to loose weight the last 5 months..and have done nothing but GAIN. Here's my background.. I've always had a great metabolism. Had 3 kids and basically left out of the hospital in my pre preggo clothes ect. Early this year i got sick.. My iron stores went down to 3% (they are suppose to be at 20%+) I rapidly gained weight (25lbs) because my body went into defense mode and hung onto EVERYTHING..basically my metabolism took a crap lol. Anywho. I gained 25lbs in 2-3 weeks. I got iron infusions and my iron was great afterwards. April, i got my pole and started working out on it 3-4times a week for a good 45-60 mins atleast, along with stretching. July, i started a pole class. And August i started walking 3-4 miles 5 days a week along with watching what i started eating and 2 weeks ago i completely cut out soda of my diet. I've gained 14lbs since i started poling. There really isn't really a difference in how my clothes feel.. Im just frustrated and do not understand what i am doing wrong. Everyone says that the weight is going to come off fast soon bc muscle burns fat ect ect.. But they've all been saying it for 3mths now. I want to cry and know i shouldn't even step on the scale, but i can't help it.. i was one of those ppl that could eat 10lbs of doughnuts back in the day and loose weight..Help me!! lol Or atleast tell me im not insane lol

oh lilbit! i´m so happy youvé decided to not totally give up!life is full of bumps. sometimes a really good cry or screaming session is all we need to put things back in perspective. you are one of my heroes, not only in pole but as a person. you inspire me! please keep us updated on the article. and i´m sending out some poling is good vibes to all those nasty landlords in your area. sooner or later you will get that space! hopfully sooner. in the meantime, keep on poling! hugs 🌸 frida 🌸

Losing weight can be hard for anyone, so we shouldn't feel bad if one diet isn't working for us. There really is no right answer to the question "What is the best way to lose weight quickly?" When you figure out what works best for you, just stick to it and you'll be fine.
