Why isn’t the scale going down :/

Question

I’m 21 , 170lb, 5’4. Sedentary as of right now. My TDEE is about 1800 and I’ve been trying to eat 1200-1400 the past 3 weeks. I don’t understand I haven’t even seen a 1lb difference !!! I’m so frustrated. I feel like I should just lower my calories then or something

Answer

You need to be active. You need to burn calories. You need to burn more calories than you consume. It’s not just diet. You need to move too.

Answer

Eat good, wholesome foods - commit to moving (walking, HIIT, jumping jacks push ups etc) for at least 20 minutes a day & drinking lots of water. It’s not a short term fix to be done in 3 weeks.  Your body takes time and will adjust to the new nourishment and exercise you invest into it. Focus more on how you feel rather than what the scale says, I know it’s tempting. But when I was at my healthiest, I was also about 15lbs heavier than my “goal weight” because muscle weights more than fat. Keep plugging along and focus on the nutrition and fitness that keeps you fueled and energized! That’s much more important than counting calories & monitoring the scale. It will also help you develop a better relationship with fitness & nutrition instead of honing in on the “failures” (even though they aren’t!!) you are seeing now. 
Good luck to you! Crush it 💪🏼

Answer

Be sure to drink half your body weight and add some form of exercise to your routine it doesn’t have to be much to start with but you’ll want to gradually increase once you start to plateau.
