Ok so been a month and haven't lost any inches and haven't moved the scale. I'm eating at -15% or above. What gives?

What was your eating like prior to the last 4 weeks? 8 weeks? Year? What are your actual numbers?0

Was eating between 1200-1500 past 6 months. I now do 1400-1600. 5'4" 142 lbs. TDEE is 1900...I cut to 1400-1600. Light 3x week (SL 5x5) and walk 20 min 2x week. Otherwise sedentary0

How long was your reset? U might need to do a longer reset at TDEE or be less agressive with your cut... A 15% cut is 1615 and 10% is 1710. 1400 isnt enough calories I believe.0

I agree and disagree. I ate about 1800-2000 for past year and a half and put on 25 pounds. And that's eating 80% healthy all the time. So I think that is too many calories. I know Scooby says different but I never stabilized and continued to pack on more and more until I hit 152 and said "that's enough!" Bc I used to weigh 130 just 3 short years ago.0

How accurate is food logging by weight?
How often eating out which is inaccurate?
Outside exercise and work, bump on a log no kids, pet walking, cleanup of either, ect?
Have you been progressing in SL5x5?0 -
I weigh all food and don't eat out really at all. Work is desk. Outside of cleaning house once a week pretty sedentary. No pets. Teenage son but we play games together= sitting. So just random walking around house for items.
Yes I have been progressing in SL! That I am pleased about! Except 1x Deload on OHP0 -
So if no weight change at current eating level, leading you to believe this is potential TDEE, not suppressed TDEE - sounds like you are up for the 2 week 250 test.
You've spent this much time with no change, what's 2 more weeks!
From a valid weigh-in during a good time of the month, eat 250 more daily for 2 weeks.
If you truly were at potential TDEE eating level before, you will slowly gain 1 lb.
And with lifting, not even fat. 1 lb only.
If that was suppressed though, you'll have just topped off glucose stores in the muscles with attached water, and gain faster and/or more lbs of water weight.
Or if you gain nothing, body did that and sped up.
2 weeks, 250 extra.

If you gain more and it's usually faster, then it's water weight. Usually because you topped of carb stores.
But if you had truly been eating at maintenance, there would have been none to top off.
Almost the first thing everything experiences starting a diet, big water weight loss, both from less sodium usually, and body stores less carbs, but rather uses the smaller eaten as energy as it always did.
All at once. Should be no change of weight in first few days, if you have valid days to weigh that close.
And if you do gain more faster, you usually can't tell, because it's spread throughout all your muscles. Measurements for some spots may change barely.0
