not losing

jvd921

So what's going on? I'm working out 6 days a week on the elliptical for 30 minutes a day and eating 1500 calories a day. Its been 9 days total. And the scale dropped two pound but went right back up. I know its probably muscle. Maybe water weight. And I'm telling myself just keep going. Anyone else have this issue?

Not muscle

Probably water

Do you weigh your food with scales?

so you've been at it for 9 days total?

are you weighing your food? hows your logging?

9 days isn't long enough. Could be DOMS. Agree with weighing your food and make sure you are logging everything correctly (no generic or homemade entries). Come back in 4 weeks if no change. This is a process so have patience.

And its not muscle.

9 days is nothing to base your progress on, sorry.
9 weeks is more like it.

Since I don't know your weight, or body fat percentage, I can't say much else besides: "add weight training."

Not quite, unless we are watching Footloose.

Better. I think things being dumbed-down is part of the problem, but that might just be me.
Taking the lazy route is what got many of us here.

Dont give in. Youre weight fluctuates so much during 24hrs and only 9 days wont tell a true story. Ive found our weights always a week behind, so at least 2 weeks of being perfect before u see results

Thanks everyone for your comments. I do have a food scale but I only weigh my meats on it. I'll definitely give it more time
