that doesn't make sense. no one cares what you weigh. people care what you look like. use a tape measure to take your measurements and forget how much you weigh.

did you look on google? or talk to a doctor?

starvation mode actually takes a while to actually affect you (like months). your body won't go into "instant starvation mode" from severely restricting calories even for weeks.

this shouldn't be a problem if they just started

we need more information. how long have you been dieting? how much exercise? open up your food diary to public so people can look at it also.

usually the first few weeks will blow your mind how much weight you lose, but some will be your body adjusting to something new and losing water weight. so don't get discouraged when it slows down (which it will inevitably do in the next few weeks, probably this upcoming week)

losing weight for a six pack. i had one before i got married and lost it when i got married, so now i'm getting it back because being married isn't an excuse to stop caring about your appearance.

stay away from fad diets. exercise and eating healthy and restricting calories and drinking more water and getting enough fiber is the way to go.

although it is only one week, so don't worry too much about it. changing your habits for the long term is how you will end up where you want to be. a single week shouldn't be a factor in your overall goals.

try changing one thing at a time and see what the effect is. for instance, if you work out 30 minutes try to up it to 45 minutes for a week and see if that has any effect. make sure you are recording everything properly also. i actually overestimate my calories consumed and underestimate my calories burned in the gym.…

well, fats are the highest calories per gram so make sure you are getting plenty of fats in your diet. a lot of people try to completely cut out fat and then they find themselves not getting enough "energy" from their diet.

good luck.

those are the same picture

there must be something physical he likes doing enough to do every day. in reality every person should raise their heart rate through some type of physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day. our bodies weren't evolved to be sedentary for almost all of the day.

no. if he didn't lose weight it is because of a few plausible reasons. 1) he is consuming more calories than he is expending. if this is the case, he won't lose weight, and restricting his calories further and increasing his calories expended will solve this. 2) he is consuming about the same number of calories he is…

does he sit inside when he's not in school? if so, get him outside playing soccer or basketball or something for a few hours a day. and try to keep him away from refined sugars.

it has only been a week, but try lowering your calories even more and working out slightly longer and see what happens.

then i'm at a loss. you could try finding higher calorie versions of the stuff you are currently eating, or try eating slightly larger portions of the same things.

you can also eat a little bit of chocolate. the point is moderation. you don't have to completely cut out alcohol and chocolate because you are dieting. a little chocolate and a little red wine is fine.

so drink a glass of red wine. a glass of red wine a night is actually good for you as it has antioxidants and helps cardiovascular health. that'll add an extra 100+ cals to your total a day.

try switching birth control methods. better yet, see a doctor about it.

i'm assuming you ate over the recommended calories for years before you decided to diet, so how did you do it then but can't do it now?

i have trouble believing anyone can burn 1000 calories in 20 minutes. that's 50 calories per minute which is more calories than you burn from sprinting at full speed.

buy a cheap one from wherever and then use a tape measure and measure your measurements every week and don't worry too much about the weight.

well, if you start eating 1400 calories a day, you'll gain weight until you hit the weight where 1400 calories is the "maintenance caloric intake." the only real way to know when that is is to eat the 1400 calories and see where your weight ends up. 1400 isn't a ton of calories though so it won't go much higher than 129

it takes months of starving before your body goes into "starvation mode." in fact, you can read all about the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. It is some really interesting stuff. From Wikipedia The full report of results from the Minnesota Starvation Experiment was published in 1950 in a two-volume, 1,385 page text…

physically i find a thin and fit girl very attractive, with a nice *kitten* and decent sized breasts. the face is really important but you can't do anything about what your face looks (except make it look rounder or thinner through weight control). big brown eyes, dark hair, clear skin, plump *kitten* and nice boobs on a…

drink more water and eat foods high in fiber and water and that should help (as long as you aren't already drinking a gallon of water a day and consuming 30 grams of fiber...if you are already doing that then try eating smaller meals more often rather than large meals spaced out).

personally i feel you should weigh yourself once a week. what if for some reason you underestimate your calories for an entire month and end up gaining weight? wouldn't you rather find out you were miscalculating after a week or two rather than an entire month? but that's just my opinion. i feel most people would be…

why are you gaining 3 lbs though? are you eating more? if you aren't eating more it is likely water weight and you can ignore it. just focus on weighing less on your next period than you did on your previous period (which shows a general trend downward in weight).
