Very little progress

Hey all! I've been doing this now for the past few weeks and I haven't really seen any inches go lower. My bf% has been staying roughly the same. I was eating around 1900-2000 calories a day and it seems I have stalled. Getting slightly discouraged here.

I lift 3 times a week and do very little cardio. Mainly taking my puppy for a walk.

    how long have you been eating 1900-2000 calories and how did you calculate the number?

    Did you start with a full metabolism reset?

    Been eating at that for a few weeks now, and i calculated it with Scooby's calculator.

    I didn't do that because I didn't want to go that high in calories that fast.

    You might be in need of a full metabolism reset if you can get yourself to increase your calories that high. You are probably still working on a suppressed metabolism which is why you might not be losing. Just an idea though :) If you did a low calorie diet before starting EM2WL, a full metabolism reset is your best bet at using this method most efficiently.

    Few weeks isn't enough time to discern a change from ANY diet when just starting, or changing how much diet.

    Outside the initial water weight loss, and change of exercise or many other things in life can mask true fat loss.

    So how low were you eating prior (not goal, actual average) and for how long?
    And were you seeing weight changes at that eating level?

    And read through some topics - you'll discover actually recommended NOT to jump up in calories fast depending on answer to those 2 questions.
