    Only? That's great progress - maybe you should have more realistic expectations. How much did you think you should lose in only 2 weeks?

    I was reading in an article on Live strong that the first week you should see a significantly weight loss 3-5 lbs since it's the first week and every week after that should be between 1 to 2 pounds a week...I guess I had high expectations lol

    it really doesn't work that way for everyone. I didn't lose anything at all for the first 3 weeks. If your exercise is new you are really lucky to have to lost so much so soon. For a lot of people water retention from new exercise prevents the fat loss from showing for a while.

    Hi guys maybe you guys can help me out ... I cut my calorie intake from 1500 to 1200, completely cut out soda and red meat (except for seafood and chicken) Eating 3 servings of veggies daily, staying under 135 carbs a day, doing 35-45 minutes of HIIT everyday 5x a week, and only managed to lose 3 lbs in 2 weeks

    You lost 3 of these...

    In the span of 2 weeks which is really good.

    Weight loss is not a fast process...this isn't the Biggest Loser...this is reality, not reality t.v. Adjust your expectations to line up with reality.
