I have been running as per instructions, some days I might walk on treadmill. Usually 1 hour. If I have more energy and feel good I will go longer if I have time. Before, I brought this program I started to walking on treadmill more days since I wasn't  working to get me away from that couch. 
 
I started a new job on May 31; it’s a good job. I don’t love it; it’s a paycheck and better then nothing. There is a lot to learn there. She just basically training me by going thru the manual; they try to push you to go on the phones right away, so it could a little stressful.  
 
So, I weight myself today I am at 166. So, I only loss 6 pounds. That is just 1.5 per week. Nowhere near 12 pounds, a little disappointing.  I don’t eat a lot food and with exercising it should be close to 12 pounds.
 
My, clothes do fit a little looser and I don’t know if it takes away appetite. I haven’t been eating any snacks at night like I usually do it I get hungry, just the meal.  
 
Sometimes, it hard to get in 7 loops. I have to starting listening before I go to bed.
 

@Shannon
So, should I run this program without any rest days? Use Hybrid? Should I add more loops?

You're losing weight at a safe rate. Why are you disappointed? Just be patient.

I thought I would lose 3 pounds per week. That is 12 pounds a month. I wanted to lose more. Should I change how I am listening to this?

I am using 27/30 mask version ocean/trickling stream. Would I get better results with hybrid?

Actually, that's a higher volume than you should be using.  You don't need to try "more power" (Hybrid).  You need to try less perceptory pressure first.  Go for a month at a volume of 24/30 and see how that does.

Just to add something here that can be of use...

I've lost WELL over 75 pounds over time, in two separate stints too. It took long-term effort and diligence.

Also, I've had many plateaus, some lasted days, some a week or so.

I've also had many weeks where I didn't lose the *maximum safe amount* of 3/4 pounds per week. It's not a big deal. Just stick to it long term and you should be fine. If the sub makes diet and appetite changes over time, the weight loss should uptick a bit until you get leaner and losses are harder. Don't worry.

One of the things I did was drink a lot of water a day. I'm up to 3L of water a day. That helped a lot with weight loss for me.

6 pounds of weight loss over a month just for "pressing play" here and there, people would give anything for such a thing. I'm pleasantly surprised it may be doing anything, it's quite an achievement, @Shannon.

All the best. Just relax, you're doing great. Think long term. You'll be a new man by the end of that run. Believe me.

From my end I read this and see you've got very obvious results to be losing weight after starting, around 1kg a week (in my conversion).

And you're basically disregarding that and getting upset, and sounds like you almost think it's just a 'coincidence' even though it's after starting HOWL.

I can tell you from dealing with weight issues for years, and going from 130kg to 78kg (I'm around 90kg now and have maintainted that, 78kg was a bit small for me) that it's best to lose a bit at a time like you are and adjust to it than try to lose more.

Even with losing around that amount a week when I was losing weight, it took quite alot for my mind to adjust to it, i'd see myself in photos and be like 'is that really me'.

Just work on building the right habits, and doing the right things and stay consistent, that's much better over time than doing things that some people do like going on a crazy weight loss shake diet where they lose heaps and then put it back on because they can't maintain that. It has to be something you can do in the long term consistently, not doing so much that you get burnt out and give up.

Thanks CatMan, just got focus on the numbers on the description page. I have been walk 1 hour a day, for stress and it's just good for you. But I should drink more water, keep forgetting about that.

CM, if you're drinking that much fluids, may I suggest you drink something with electrolytes in it or somehow otherwise supplement your electrolyes to prevent undesirable electrolyte imbalance?
