Still not losing weight :( comments welcome

When you started your account, what setting did you use for how much weight per week to lose? You don't have much to lose, so you're probably best at either 1/2 lb per week loss or 1 lb per week. Are you set at 2 lbs per week right now? If so, then you might want to re-think your goal. With only 17 lbs to lose, eating at the 2 lbs/week goal simply isn't enough calories.

i second everything that was said before me.

You are within a healthy weight range for your height, depending on your body frame size. The weight loss is not going to come fast or easy.

Set your goal to lose half a pound a week. You need to weigh/measure your food and log accurately because there is not as much room for error with a small calorie deficit.

How carefully are your measuring your food. Estimating serving sizes generally does not work for most people as what they think is a serving is actually sometimes as much as two servings. A food scale and measuring cup/spoons are a necessity for accurately logging what you eat.

Second, assuming you are measuring carefully, if you just started working out, especially if it is intense workouts that are causing muscle soreness, you could be retaining water which will mask fat loss. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/200544-why-do-you-sometimes-gain-weight-when-starting-a-new-exercis I suggest if you haven't done so yet, take pictures of yourself and use a measuring tape to measure as least your chest, waist, and hips as the scale is a very inaccurate way to measure progress.

Third, you may be over estimating how many calories your exercise is burning. This is especially true if you are exercising for long periods of time. You may want to eat only a portion, say 75% of your exercise calories back.

Finally, it has only been a short period of time. Some people start with big losses at the beginning then have it slow down or stop in the second or third week. Others take a while to get going and then suddenly after 2-4 weeks a huge amount of weight comes off in a day or two. Give it at least 4 weeks.

It def takes some time especially since you are within a healthy range, I've been at this for about 7 weeks and lost 4 pounds. Just give it a bit more time and you'll see progress. Have you taken pictures also? That really helps me because I can visualize that changes better.

I have always been very fit and exercised a lot before uni. I use the gyms calorie counters and match them to my recorded exercises and I measure everything out carefully as well

Watch out for gym machines. They're notorious for overestimating your calorie burn.

if youre weight training you may be retaining water, you may not be eating enough, it may just be slow going - as we age our metabolism takes increasingly longer to get going...dont be discouraged. Your goal should be to be healthier - not just to drop lbs.
