in Health and Weight Loss
Hey guys, when I realized I was 207 pounds, I went on this diet where I would walk for about three miles a day and have about 800 cals/ day. I started this routine 17 days ago. When I look at myself in the mirror however, I see no weight loss. I do try on these small pair of Jeans and see how far up they go but I just feel like they stopped going up further than the last time. The first week I did this I lost about 8 pounds mainly cause of water weight and deblotation. But I promised myself I wouldn't weigh myself till April 14 ( two weeks)
Should I be disappointed when I see my weight has not gone down?
How long do people usually notice that they've lost weight, is 3 weeks too soon??
If I do this for at least 2 months could I look a lot thinner? How about after one month?
Please help I feel like I'm stuck at this weight and there's no possible way for me to be skinny :( any answer is welcomed!
Btw I'm 19 years old and I'm 5'6.

    Where did you come up with 800 calories? Whatever source you're getting this from may also be the start of body dysmorphic issue.

    This is nowhere near enough calories! I reccommend you eat the calorie goals MFP sets for you.

    Ready the link above.

    Eat more. Your body will thank you.

    And realize that it will take time (more than a couple of weeks) to see the results you really want. I'm pretty sure the weight took months to come on; it's going to take at least that long to get it off.

    Look at this as a lifestyle change (i.e. you aren't going back to your old ways once you reach goal) rather than just a diet. Be in it for the long haul.
