Hi all, i've got a horrible feeling that i'm not doing this right!! i'm into week 3 and i've been extra good this week but i weighed in this morning and haven't lost anything...weight or inches! i feel really upset about it. i am going to carry on and just hope its a good loss next week.

Just keep a positive attitude and keep going.we can't all loose lbs or inches every since week.i'm sure you'll do fine next week

I'm having the same exact problem and I'm four weeks in. But I'm doing what army said and just sticking it through, hopefully it budges. I want patience and I want it NOW! >_o

Hi Jugsy,

How many calories are you consuming per day? What do you eat in a typical day? If nothing has changed in 3 weeks then I don't think there's enough calorie deficit for you to be losing weight. Are you exercising?

I know how frustrating that is, I hadn't lost anything for 2 weeks, but then I realised it was bceause I wasn't exercising, and I've upped that, and lost a kilo over the last week so cheer up we can fix it

Kesh.

I started working out and decreasing my food intake about 7 weeks ago. For the first 3-4 weeks I lost nothing. Not a pound! I was so frustrated. I added water to my day and bought me a nifty digital scale and began to see the ounces come off. Ounces turned to pounds and now I am averaging 2lbs a week.

I think the water made a difference for me. But I also found that being HONEST with myself in my food log has made a difference too. Calories and Fat add up so quickly.
Also I do not use the exercise calories that are added into my day. If I rewarded myself everytime I exercised with more food then I would never lose weight.

Good luck!

Thanx for everyone's comments. i'm on 1330 cals a day, i exercise everyday at least 45mins mostly cardio. i drink water all day except for the odd coffee i find that i'm so paranoid about logging my cals to few that i probably over estimate each food so i'm sure i won't go over...maybe this is the problem , maybe i'm not eating enough!! drinking water all day fills you up so i find i'm never really that hungry. Anyone think this could be the problem?? x

jugsy

oh, and i try not to eat my exercise cals either or if i do only half of them! x

jugsy

Me too hun!! Anice dose of patience would be good i think. What cals etc are you on? x

From my experience, I would say you aren't eating enough. Are you logging in your exercise? Eating your exercise calories? How is your sodium intake? How much water are you drinking. For me, I was not eating enough, then I upped my calories (I was scared to death to do this too!) and the weight just started coming off after a week or so.

Eat at least 1200 plus your exercise cals. Try it for a week or 2 and see if it makes a difference. Also, make sure to drink all of your water and get enough sleep. Hang in there. It's a process and takes some time.
