    @Look_Its_Kriss so I shouldn't go by the serving size?

    @Look_Its_Kriss as for the chicken I weigh it on my food scale when it's done cooking ... should I do it raw?

    I try to make my cal goal but by the end of the day it's too much . I eat 3 meal a day a typically a snack, which is a lot for me because I'm use to eating just one big meal a day

    I've been eating 1800 to 2000 and backpacking on weekends.

    I've lost 10 pounds in a month. I'm pretty sure I've lost more, but I'm retaining water again. Lol.

    It's seriously discouraging to not see results.

    Especially in the beginning.

    • Rather personal and feel free not to answer, but are you constipated? When you switch your diet suddenly that can happen, and it can definitely slow down your apparent weight loss.
    • Also echoing what others have said about weighing your food more precisely. Over time you'll learn to estimate it close enough, but for now, weigh.
    • When you do weigh yourself, do it at the same time and in the same clothes. Don't do it more than once a week, you won't see daily progress and sometimes you gain a little and that gets incredibly frustrating.
    • Also, don't stress so much. You're doing the right things. Keep doing them. It'll happen.

    Maybe, but, at the OP's height and weight, and if her diary logging had been very accurate then she should have lost weight even in just two weeks. Clearly it's not accurate given the chicken entries, no harm in getting in early and helping point out logging errors. Early intervention may help with later success.

    Besides, someone may be lurking and reading and maybe further into their journey and not losing, they may see parallels with this thread and it may help them...

    Really? Do you have a 100 bulletproof on that statement you just wrote ? Just because that happens to you, doesn't mean it happens to 100 % people,. If weightloss was a 2 week endeavor we'd all be walking around in bomb bodies

    Not necessarily. She would have lost fat but it would be easily masked by water retention from the new workouts. I agree with others who say it is too early to tell.

    OP, give it more time. In the meantime, stop undereating, it is not good for you. If you are getting too full, add some less-filling foods. Increasing carbs and fats is the easiest way to do that. But make sure your logging is accurate.

    I haven't read through all the responses yet but for me , I rarely see changes within the first three weeks. It's like my body is adapting to what I'm doing and realising that it's a "new normal" and then it starts letting go of weight. I've seen it a number of times and it was the reason why I think I've been so unsuccessful before because I was expecting results too quickly. Up your calorie intake a bit (1200 is very low for someone with your stats) , stick to the plan, and it will work out. You just need to be patient.
