I'm extremely frustrated and just need some help. I've seen absolutely no results the first week. I know it takes time, but I've been biking to work (3 miles each day), cut out alcohol and sweets, and maintained 1200 calorie net a day.....with NOTHING. Why keep going if I can eat like crap and look and feel the same?! I'm a vegetarian so my diet was already fairly healthy. My metabolism must be as slow as molasses.....

    It's not at all unusual to see no change or even a small gain for a few weeks. It can take the body a little while to figure out what to do with your new routine. If you've just started exercising or increased your exercise your muscles will hold onto extra fluid, which could mask any weight loss. Stick with it, drink plenty of water, and if you don't see results in a few more weeks then reevaluate.
