I can't seem to lose any weight

theoneandonly1234 · January 2014

I've been working out for about 7 months now, and when I first started I weighed about 170 pounds and I was eating kinda badly. I stopped eating badly about 2 months after that, and for the past two months, I"ve been eating under 1000 calories a day.

The problem is: In 8 months, I've only lost about 3 pounds. Three.

I don't eat badly, I'm 18 years old, and I'm also at a complete loss of what to do.

Please. Please help.

You could be not eating enough that may be the reason . You could be building muscle..Have you done measurements
1000 calories is not enough .

Troll? You need to eat more. If you are not a troll, then this is just sad.

Firstly I doubt the validity of your calorie consumption...

In some cases, people who claim they can’t lose weight by cutting calories underestimate their food intake by 47%, and overestimate their exercise levels by 51% Other data has shown that people can underreport their food intake by up to 2,000 calories per day

When people are in a caloric deficit, they always lose weight.

Also consuming under 1000 calories a day is dangerous and unhealthy

Here are some links to help you get back on track...

Tell us all your stats: age, height, weight, gender, TDEE, BMR
and, if your diary isn't open, that would help.

unless youre 4'3 or a child not possible at 1k cal to not lose

actually it's entirely possible, people who are metabolically damaged due to yo-yo dieting can have trouble loosing weight .. even at extreme caloric deficits. Look at your past 3 year diet history, how many times you've been on low cal diets … then if often… look into metabolic damage.
