Yesterday was my first weigh in since joining myfitnesspal a week ago and unfortunately I didn't lose a pound nor did I gain. I am discouraged since I stayed within my goals. I didn't workout as much as I wanted to but I thought that eating better would at least help me see some sort of results. Not sure why I didn't lose but I am not giving up. Next week the scale will change!!!

    That's the spirit - don't give up! Sometimes it just takes a little time for your body to respond with a weight loss. You'll get there :)

    Hang in there, the slower the process, the better. Is your profile set up to lose 1-2 pound per week? I found that it was very accurate in I stayed wilthin my alotted calories(make sure you eat as many as it tells you) and some of you evercise calories if you have burned a lot

    I agree, start at one pound a week.

    Give it at least 1 month (no cheating!) and see what happens...I can guarantee you will lose weight! It will be a minimum 4 pounds and maybe more!

    One week is not enough time to see any results.

    It's only been a week, give your body time to adjust!

    Give it some time... and make sure you are drinking enough water. I notice when I don't drink enough water, I don't see results.
    They say that you are supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces in water a day... It's hard to do, but it works.
    If you don't do that, atleast drink the recommended amount.
    GOOOD LUCK!

    Maybe you did lose weight, but your body might be retaining water so the loss didn't show on the scale. You'll probably see the difference next week.

    Don’t give up, I didn’t see results my first two weeks on MFP but I stuck it out and am now loosing a steady pound a week. I know how discouraging that feeling is, you make so many sacrifices and nothing or little to show for it! I swear that the sacrifices get easier and the rewards are that much more fulfilling!

    Don't give up. I remember weighin in after 1 week and actually gaining 1 lb. But then when I got on the following week at had lost 12 lbs!!! I know all results are different, but don't lose hope! It's not unusual to see no results after 1 week. You'll reach your goals as long as you stay consistent :smokin:

    I'm glad i'm not alone out there. This is my 2nd week and i didn't lose anything either :ohwell: I hate to say it, but I think i should quit beer :sad: I do sooo good during the week and I'll lower my food intake and think i could have a few beers....I don't think that is going to work! Starving all day, to drink beer late, eat and then go to sleep is NOT a good idea. Any suggestions?? Whats a low caloric alcohol drink that is yummy???
