Progress Photos Only 4 lb Difference

Options
So, I started my journey (again) exactly 2 weeks ago. In that time I've lost 4 lbs and several inches. My first goal is to fit into these pants comfortably. Last time I lost weight I bought these and they were a little tight when I bought them. I was disgusted when I put them on two weeks ago and now they are still a little tight but not much longer to go until they should fit maybe a week or two (:

    I go to the gym 5 days a week and do cardio (running, elliptical, and bike) each time. I do HIIT Cardio about 2 to 3 times a week. I weight train legs one day arms the next then i have a day off and then repeat. On my days off i do planks, jumping jacks, squats, lunges, etc or just whatever i feel like that day. I eat 1200 cals but mainly lean proteins. I always eat my exercise cals back. I usually burn 400 to 600 each gym day. And thank you (: 4 lbs could be discouraging if i wasnt taking pics each week and measurements.

    Thank you, everyone. I wish the scale would move a little faster, but the measuring tape keeps moving down so I'm happy with that. (:

    Don't rush yourself, you look great. Knowing that you've been working at it and that it's going slowly actually is a great inspiration to the rest of us at the beginning of our journeys. thanks and congrats. I hope i can post a foto like that in the next month.

    Yeah, that can happen with bloat. My belly used to get like that sometimes if I ate certain things.

    I think she's just having a little weight loss to the tune of 4 lbs, and the rest is she was bloated the day she took the before pic and wasn't in the after pic. So yeah that will add up to inches I think.

    Wow! You look beautiful! You're very toned now, so remember, it's true- muscle weighs more than fat! So even tough the scale says you only lost 4 lbs, it's only because you've gained muscle! Keep up the good work, imagine what you'll look like in 2 more weeks!
