Not seeing any results - GAINED inches too?!

Two weeks is not enough time to see results as in a new program, especially 2 hours a day, you will see water retention. Additionally, for that extent of a workout, you're not eating enough.

my bmr is 1,435 and my tdee (if i calculate it 5 times a week) is about 2,099.
because my bmr is so low i thought that if i ate a net 1,200 calories, id only be burning 200 calories a day and so would not get any results!

no... if you eat at TDEE you will maintain your weight... you should take 20% off your TDEE to lose. you shouldnt eat under BMR especially when you're already a healthy weight for your height.

I second that x

my bmr is 1,435 and my tdee (if i calculate it 5 times a week) is about 2,099.
because my bmr is so low i thought that if i ate a net 1,200 calories, id only be burning 200 calories a day and so would not get any results!

That BMR is a bit low. How did you calculate it? Your TDEE also looks too low with that amount of exercise and your stats. As others have noted - you take a cut off your TDEE, not your BMR.

In any event, you have not gained muscle in that time - what you are probably have happening is some water retention from the exercise you are doing as well as experiencing water weight fluctuations from your normal cycle.

Give it a few more weeks - however, I would suggest cutting back on the exercise a bit - sometimes more is not always more. Keep it consistent and reasonable - something that is sustainable - same with the size of your deficit which seems as though it is too large - but this assumes you are logging accurately.

Yeeeeep what all the other ladies said.

Exercising 2 hours a day and not eating back any calories, plus it looks like you're eating below your BMR = definitely the reason you're not seeing any change (not to mention it's been only 2 weeks).

As another user mentioned, you should be eating 20% under your TDEE, NOT under your BMR. Your BMR is the number you should never go below, even on days you're not working out. That's what your body needs to run regardless.

I recommend measuring yourself every 3ish weeks and weighing in every 5 weeks. Again, as someone else mentioned, do it at the same time every day you measure/weigh in, preferably first thing in the morning after a good nights sleep.

2 weeks is not enough time. Give it 4-6 more and check back.

The inches 'gained' could be due to measurement errors.

thankyou for all the feedback and information everyone!
ive kicked up my calories today to 1,550 and i'll be staying between 1550-1680 and see how that goes. i didnt think that undereating could actually make the weight stay on...

It cannot - at least not fat - it can make you retain more water. However, the main issues here are more likely water weight due to your cycle and exercise.

1. If you have an iPad, iPhone or iPod, download Happy Scale. You enter your weight every morning and as more data is entered, it smooths out the variations to tell you the trend of your weight loss. It also makes predictions at the rate you will lose. I cannot help but be an obsessive weigher, but this app allows you to do that without going nuts. You're body is totally happy and comfortable fluctuating up to 4 lbs entirely due to water storage, so you could be losing weight and not know for several weeks!

2. It's also very likely that you are bloated from your period and that the water weight will fall off over the next few days. For me, it's about 1-2 lbs that I lose at the end of my period, and the scale just stays flat for the 5-6 days leading up to it, even though I'm losing.

3. Sore muscles are inflamed muscles, and they retain water also, so if you're exercising a lot and your muscles are sore, you're likely also holding on to additional water for this reason.

4. You mention that you are keeping carbs low. How low? If you are a fairly carb sensitive person, weight loss can be hard, if not impossible, and will defy mathematics, unless you drop your carbs low enough. Below 50 net carbs is the general recommendation I've read that seems to work for everyone, although some folks actually need to sty as low as 20 long term. For carb-sensitive people, cutting carbs (but keeping your fat intake up), is often as important, if not more important, to weight loss than cutting calories very low.

5. If you have found an estimate you trust for your resting metabolic rate and a prediction about how many calories you burn on top of that during the day, and your calorie deficit is set based on those numbers, then you will lose weight. If it's not showing up, it's these confounding factors that are making it so. Trust the fact that it's not mathematically possible for you not to be losing.
