Have you taken on a new exercise routine or close to TOM? Both cause water retention.4

Being good and sticking to 1500 calories for how long? It doesn't happen overnight.3
-
2weeks, I know it don’t happen overnight however I’d like to see at least a lb loss over 2 weeks.1

So would I, but it doesn't always happen, often for the reasons @nutmegoreo mentioned or others. Getting emotional about it and binging is counterproductive to your goal. Consistency over time is what matters. What are your stats - height, current weight, goal weight?3 -

Might be time to reevaluate your approach, because that's not going to work long-term. How strict are you being with yourself? Do you have a list of forbidden foods in your head?
How often are you weighing? Is it the same scale? Same time of day? Same clothing?4 -
An explanation of every possible reason you're not losing weight, and what to do about it:

It could be that your metabolism has now become efficient. This means that your calorie deficit of 1500 calories is no longer your deficit. Your body has basically adapted and adjusted. To get back into a deficit, you now need to go lower. However, you can’t keep going lower every time your body becomes efficient. So you actually need to up your calories for a while to kick start your metabolism again. This may seem totally counter productive, but it does work. A really good source of info on this is on instagram @coachmarkcarroll. The guy looks like a total meat head but he really does post some great information if you sift through his posts. He also trains a ton of women, with lots of posts relating to your issue. I hope you find something useful and good luck.19

OP is only a couple of weeks in a deficit, metabolic adaptation is not the issue.7 -

only if your goal weight is 8lbs....5 -
what is 'foamin' ? losing weight is a slow process, keep working on eating at a calorie deficit and you will lose - have patience.

If you stopped gaining that's already one battle won.
it takes time and weight goes up and down daily so it may just be a flux up masking a loss. my weight can peek an extra 3-4 pds randomly for a list of reasons but then comes back to normal.
are you weighting your food and carefully choosing entries in MFP?1 -

I was losing weight at about 1 lb a week at 1500 calories a day, then my weight loss stopped, I started doing the squat challenge and my weight loss started again, maybe just incorporate small workouts if u aren’t already. Good luck! ☺️3

Yeah I got warned for that. And I apologise. My children’s friends use it a lot. I wasn’t trying to be a jerk but realise it came across that way.0 -
