I'm really getting annoyed now...
The last 3 weeks i've been really good.. working out every day for an hour a day.. first week i lost 3lb.. the last 2 weeks i've stayed the same.. i never go over my calroies..
people are saying i've lost weight.. but why isnt it showing on the scales.. its really getting me down..
Any suggestions?

probably the same things everyone else is going to say, so sorry in advance and here goes....

Are you eating foods high in sodium? (sorry I can't see your diary), high sodium = water retention.
Are you drinking enough water?
Are you eating your exercise calories back to make sure you're actually eating enough every day? A hot topic on the site is 'starvation mode' if you eat less than 1200 a day then you're body will think you're trying to starve it and will hold onto your stored fat.

Sometimes our bodies just need a little time to adjust to our new eating habits.

Hmm...how many calories are you taking in each day?

You might be losing inches if everyone tells you that you look like you've lost weight.. isn't that more important than what the scales says anyways? :P

Are you tracking your sodium and keeping it under 2,400 mg per day?

Are you measuring yourself? I have only lost 2 pounds in the past 4 weeks but have lost 6.5 inches.

By the sounds of every one's comments as much as i think i'm doing good theres a few things i'm not doing..

ie eating bk my exercise calories i've burnt
watching my sodium intake..

I probably eat about 1200 calories..maybe just over if you include my morning coffee

What im struggling is eating back my calroies... i cant exactly eat chcolate can i.. What can i eat..??

I measured myself this morning and guess my friends wernt lying..
i've lost :

Waist - 4inch
Hips - 2inch
Bust - 1inch
Under Bust - 2inch
But - 1inch

it would still be nice for the scales to show different mind..
