Reduced calories down to 1220 and still not losing! :(

I have reduced my calorie limit daily to 1220. My goal was to lose 1.5 lbs a week and the scale hasn’t budged. Any ideas why?

Do you use a food scale? Check out this thread.

It is difficult to say without more information. What is your height, weight, how much do you have to lose? How long have you been doing this? What was your previous calorie goal? Do you use a food scale to weigh your food? Did you recently start a new workout routine?

Don't weigh yourself for the first 3 weeks. I didn't lose my first lb until well into the second week of dieting. It might be why you feel discouraged?
