okayy so first off.. this is the diet ive been doingg and its working great(:
first.. keep up w/ the veggie and fruits deal.X]
second.. don’t eat JUST breakfast, lunch and dinner! eat 6 times a day! don’t make your self stuffed like your going to explode.. but eat tell you feel satisfied and not hungry.. because when you are hungry (it is a proven fact) that your body takes away from the muscle and stores fat! so when yrr hungry get out a protein bar or something!
third.. when you can find the time (probably early in the morning) take a walk! but you must keep moving furr at least an HOUR!! this consistency will definitely help you!
and finally.. don’tt expect results so fast! it takes time but trust me the results will come!

you’ll notice it in the clothes before you notice it on the scale. get a measuring tape and keep track that way. because 125 flabby might weigh the same as 125 really fit, but the “fit” body will be tigner and toner and much slimmer looking (i dont know what you’re goal is so this is just a random number). remember that muscle is more dense that fat is, so if you burn some fat but replace it with muscle, the scale might not move, but like you said you’ll feel it in your clothes.
and give it at least 2 more weeks. by then you should see a little movement in the scale. but keep in mind thats only a number. use your measurments and your need healthy feeling as well in considering how well you’re doing with your “diet”. good for you!

Unless you are actually weighing your food or measuring it precisely there is little chance that someone knows exactly what they eat. It is estimated that we eat 20-40% more than we think we do.
Second, if you ar eworking out the first few weeks will be a fluctuation of water weight. After that stabalizes then it is entirely possible to lose little weight or even gain and still be exercising. What you are doing is adding muscle weight and losing fat.
Lean muscle burns more calories so it is ok to gain this weight. You will notice a change in the way your clothes fit, but don’t pay toooo much attention to how the scale reads.
apexfitness.com or fitday.com are programs you can use to estimate calories burned as well as input your own food and calculate your intake. It is tedious at first to track your food, but once you do then it will be easier to estimate what the correct portion sizes are.

You are probably gaining muscle. I’ve been doing the same thing for 3 weeks and am just now seeing the number on the scale going down. Just keep at it and don’t get discouraged.

Burning calories means you are burning water, not fat.
The only way to lose considerable amounts of weight is to eat less fat.

Because you’re replacing fat loss, with muscle gain.
And it’s not like you’ll see any results in two weeks, anyway.
Try doing this for about a year, then you’ll see real results.

Please don’t get frustrated. Give it time.
If you are on any medications, like an SSRI, you will have a bit harder time losing, but it WILL come off.

You need to work out more, try weights, and for the treadmill do 8% incline at 3.5 mph for 25 minutes. And are u doing more than a 60 minute workout each day. Also are you maintaining that workout everyday?

it takes time, try to stay on the thing for at least 6 months, they say when you 1st go on a diet the 1st 2 weeks is when you lose weight the quickest after that it slows down as your body gets used to the reduced calorie intake
