in Health and Weight Loss
Hi! I need some advice on how to get my weight loss going. I'm 5'3" and 200lbs (female). I just started my diet on Monday, so definitely a new to this. Currently, I am eating 1100-1200 calories and working out 30-45 minutes (mostly elliptical cardio). I know it's been only four days, but I haven't felt a change at all - in energy level or physically. Am I expecting too much? What else should I be doing / changing to ensure significant weight loss? Thanks!

    You need to wait 7 days and then weigh yourself.

    First off, you should be eating more than what you are. The amount of calories you mentioned are very low. Do you eat your exercise calories back? You don't have to starve yourself to lose weight.

    Change won't happen quickly :( Give it some time. Have fun with it. Change up your exercise and foods you eat. Make sure you are drinking your water and keeping an eye on things like protein, sodium etc.
