I am frustrated because I eat 1250 calories on non exercise days and 1350-1450 exercise days. Sodium is not a problem and I have 140 or less carbs. Typical days I will have oatmeal for breakfast lunch I eat chicken sandwich with half of the bun at burger King because I don't eat a lot of sodium. Dinner I eat a potato with baked chicken and broccoli and carrots. Last I eat a fruit. I don't know why the scale won't move =(

    Are you weighing your food with a food scale?

    I see you are using cups for measuring. You need to be using a food scale to weigh everything. It makes a huge difference.

    Did you just start? If so, give it time. If you're not consuming more calories than your body needs. The scale will move. As stated above. Make sure you weigh your food, as it is all to easy to eat more than you think.

    The closer you get to your goal the more accurate you have to be tracking calories. That food scale will work wonders, I guarantee it.

    66 pounds is awesome! Along with weighing your food, try switching your foods up a bit too if you find yourself eating the same things all the time because it's easy and you know how many calories are in them.
