Calories consumed vs calories allowed

Ok am a little confused. Been 3 weeks into this and noted that, even though I am always below my weekly calorie amount allowed, I am not losing what it has been projected I should be losing. Not sure what I am doing wrong?? Any ideas or advice?

The projection is a very inaccurate guess. Are you still losing? You can try playing with your calorie count (change by about 100 calories for two weeks and see what happens). You can also up the intesity of your workouts.0

You've lost 6lb in 3 weeks which is great.
How far under your allowed calories are you going? They're there for a reason, eat them.0 -

I do agree though 2 pound a week is a good average number no matter what your starting weight0 -
Your body doesn't care much for predictions or maths. It'll lose at its own rate from the areas it's wants to lose it from.
Be patient and keep on, keeping on, brother!!0 -

Best post ever. Just wanted to add, congrats on the 6 pound loss, and keep up the good work.0 -
Thing is I lost 5 lbs in the first week which I think is down to the fact my initial weight in to put on this site was in the afternoon, and its been morning weekly since. Since then have lost half a pound per week, thats why its confusing. At least I am still losing which is good. Just frustrating am not losing more. Generally am under the calorie goal by 200-500 cals per day (my diary is set at losing 1 and a half lbs a week.).0

What kind of food are you eating? It might help knowing what your macro intake is to pin point why you aren't losing. Also, are you exercising? I fell out of MFP a while back, regained some weight and am now back into the swing of things but hope I can help ^^ Also, add me if you'd like to see what I'm doing food wise/exercise.0
