I am 48 years old, 5'4" with 201 pounds. I began a diet counting the calories per day, at the same time 30-40 minutes from Mon to Fri exercising with aerobics low impact, abdominal crunches, mild stretching and general dancing. I have been doing that for 3 weeks but I have lost only one pound.

Under 1200 calories a day is unhealthy. Set your weight loss and activity. Log any exercise separate and eat back those calories. Log and weigh everything you eat.2 -
There’s a significant calorie counting learning curve. It’s fairly likely that you’re eating more calories than you think. Accurate calorie counting requires a food scale. Measuring cups are better than nothing, but a scale is a lot better.
So keep working. Losing a significant amount and keeping it gone requires a lot of trial and error. Even after you get a downward trend going, you’ll find that you are always tinkering and adjusting. Don’t be discouraged. Keep trying.3 -
I don't understand what's happening now. I am gaining weight again. I am eating 1000 kcal or less.
No entiendo que pass, estoy ganando peso nuevamente y consumo como maximo 1000 calorias.0 -
I am weighing everything I consume, I have a scale.0

si haces público tu diario, tal vez la gente aqui pueda ayudarlo. Es muy poco probable que aumente de peso con 1000 calorías.
