I have been using MFP for about a month and a half, Im 5"8 and weigh 145 pounds, I work out 6 times a week and have been eating fairly healthy. Every time I go on the scale the number doesn't change! and it just discourages me as if I will never reach my goal or that loosing weight for me is just impossible. so I just wanted to know when did you start seeing results?

    Does that mean at a deficit? Because you can live off kale and brussel sprouts and gain weight if you eat enough of them :)

    If you don't do it already, then measure all your food on a kitchen scale, put it in myfitnesspal and be careful how many of your exercise calories you eat back. Exercise is usually overestimated no matter if it's from a HR watch or myfitnesspal and with you working out 6 days a week that could amount for a lot.

    I noticed some extra room in my jeans right away, but it slowed down considerably after that. I also started at 1200 though, and then changed to 1400 because I was left too hungry.
