How am I not losing?

Question

I’ve been working out and eating healthy for 2 weeks now. I do intermittent fasting also. And I’ve been drinking half my weight in water; no other drinks. I’ve taken my measurements & only weigh myself once a week. So far I’ve only lost an inch in my waist area, nothing else. My BMR is 1383 and according to the TDEE calculator I’m supposed to eat 1600 calories a day. I usually only eat between those two amounts. Should I really try to eat the 1600cals or should I be eating less?

Answer

Sometimes you lose inches before the scale starts showing results. The scale is the devil when dieting. Especially if you get hooked on the numbers it shows. It’ll be your biggest disappointment while dieting. Weigh yourself less and don’t focus on the scale. You may have to eat less. You have to get into a calorie deficit that works for you.  ￼￼

youre doing perfect!! sometimes it can take more than 2 weeks to start losing weight. Trust me, your body is cleansing rn and when its ready it will start losing weight faster. Stressing about it isnt gonna help at all so just relax and give it more time! Sending love and positive vibes!!💜

Answer

I do intermittent fasting also. I do the 16:8 and I eat around 1500 calories a day and sometimes lower. I’ve only been doing this for two weeks too. I haven’t seen much difference other than bloating reduced ALOT. You just got to keep going and don’t give up! Two weeks isn’t that long. Give it until 4 weeks and see if there is a difference. If in 4 weeks you don’t see a difference on the scale or in the mirror .. you might have to try and change some things. Good luck you got this ❤️

Answer

Instead of weighing yourself, take progress pictures once a month. Make sure it’s on the exact same day, your period can cause you to retain water and make it look like you’re not losing weight. But you are making progress, give your body the month to adjust and then if you don’t see anything reevaluate,it is going to take a while, just stay positive and patient. You’re doing great! ♥️

Answer

It’s been two weeks...you have to give more time than that. Loosing an inch is progress. Use that as motivation.
