I’m wondering why I’m not loosing weight when I typically have 1,000-2,000cal left over from the day. I burn roughly 1,000-1,500cal during my workouts which consist of 1-2hrs on the elliptical 2-4hrs of walking. And sometimes I do 30min on the stairmaster. I eat 1,200-1,800cal a day and the scale hasn’t budged at all. Please help me solve this issue, I just want to loose 2lbs. I’m currently 112lbs.

    Maybe you’re not getting the most out of your workouts? You could do a high quality 30 mins of cardio and burn the same if not MORE than you would doing a low quality lazy 1-2 hours of cardio. Check out high intensity cardio workouts. They work.

    How long have you been doing this? If you have recently ramped up your exercise a lot, your body may be retaining water, either because you aren't drinking enough or because your muscles need water to rebuild. Give it time.

    As others have said, you may also be miscounting either your exercise burn or your food intake or both. At your low weight, you don't need to have a 1000 calorie deficit. You should be aiming at .5 lb a week, not 2 lbs. a week.
