    If it's only been a week, don't sweat it. Just keep going. A week isn't that long and you could be retaining water or something.

    its hard to say what you're doing wrong when your diary is private.

    How many calories are you averaging per day? What kind of exercise are you doing and how often? How are your sodium levels?

    I've been doing strength training mixed with cardio for over three months and have only lost 6lbs so far. But the inches are coming off, even though the actual scale weight is slooooowly creeping down.

    You are not going to lose weight every week. You are going to have ups and downs and stays the same.

    Don't sweat it.

    1.3 kg in three weeks is right on target.

    You're doing great. Keep it up.

    You find that you lose more weight in the first two weeks of dieting as your body is not used to eating as little as you would be on a diet. After the first two weeks your body will adjust and you find that you only lose 1lb or 2lb a week. (Not sure of the kg equivalent). Don't let it get to you :) lots of things affect weight - could be water retention. Have you weighed yourself at a different time to normal? Your weight could fluctuate during the day. Best time to weigh is first thing in the morning.

    You likely need to eat more, eat back at least half your exercise calories or you risk losing muscle, not fat and messing with your metabolism.

    There are a lot of large green 'remaining' balances in your diary. You are supposed to eat TO your target not under it. Sorry to be a bit pedantic here - but you look to be average nearer 1000 calories a day.

    I know it seems counter intuitive, but as long as you are at a deficit you will lose weight - and with what your base number is (which looks on the light side to me in any event) you will definately be at a deficit.

    yes eat more when you work out BUT dont just eat just anything. eat more vegetables/fruit/nuts/beans/ you know things that are good for you and high in dietary fiber.

    What kind of protein shake are you on? Why are you using it at night? I drink mine during the day ! I am down 16 lbs in 4 weeks.

    Drink your protein shake whenever you want - there is a pretty big absorption window.

    Yes, I found out, my friend drinks his right after he is done his work out. Says it doesn't matter that is at night. I drink mine for breakfast and then for the afternoon, with snacks in between and then a good supper. I figured out my calories and make sure I am drinking 1/2 my body weight in water. Good luck! Maybe double check what protein powder you are using.

    I don't think it's possible to loose weight... I mean tightening weight is also impossible. Did you mean lose?

    Don't go by weight. You should go by progress pics especially if you want a lean toned body because the your body may become more dense with muscle and you could lose body fat and still weigh the same because muscle weighs more then fat. I suggest taking a progress pic every 2 weeks instead of weighing yourself.

    ^^^^^

    Yes, you are.

    Consider a few less starchy/simple carbs, in particular less sugar.. watch the sodium... drink lots of water. How is your fiber?

    1-2 lbs a week is right on.. having an off week is OKAY.. sometimes, it's just water weight. Are you near your cycle? I never lose that week, sometimes I even put on a lb or 2 but it comes right back off !!
