Ive been counting calories for two weeks now, but haven't lost any weight

maea5040

I did Weight Watchers and lost 10 pounds, but switched to MFP so I don't have to keep paying. For the past two weeks, I haven't lost anything while staying at 1200 calories/day. I assumed I would at least lose water weight with the change in my routine. Ive been accurately measuring and weight everything, and Ive also been working out, and not eating those calories back. Im F/5'3/155 lbs.

2 weeks is not enough time to gauge success. Give it more time.

Also consider buying a food scale and weighing your food portions.

I did buy one, and I have been weighing my food

Would you mind unlocking your diary? Could help with advice.

The first time I did WW it worked beautifully, I lost 30 lbs but the next time I did it I lost NOTHING so I came to MFP and have lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks. I exercise every day and weigh and measure all of my food, perhaps you are not eating enough calories and it needs to be adjusted. I adjusted mine and the weight started coming off

Then I'd say give it more time. There could be things just masking the loss in the form of water retention. Things like higher than usual carbs, sodium, hormones, ovulation, period, etc.

Yeah more time needed.

Keep going.

Make sure you weigh consistently, same time of day, same level of undress etc

I suggest in the morning before breakfast/shower but after you use the toilet.

Patience and consistency is key

I don't want to assume, but just want to ask...are you remembering to log fruit and vegetables now? I know they are "free" on weight watchers. Not only do they need to be logged, but weighed.
