I've been going to the gym, hardcore, for almost 2 weeks. I'm eating as healthy as I possibly can (and i'm eating enough)

My clothes are really loose, everyone can tell i'm losing weight. However, THE SCALE HASNT MOVED. I'm the SAME EXACT weight I was when I started this whole 'i'm on a mission to lose weight'

Any ideas? suggestions?

I am all about the number on the scale too--even if my clothes are falling off, I am like no I haven't lost anything
But I know and you have to rem that as long as you are loosing inches---that is what counts

When I was working with a personal trainer he forbade me to look at the scale for the first few weeks. Your gaining muscle girl!! Dont go by the evil scale!

muscle weighs more than fat so you're leaner but still weigh as much

losing fat doesnt doesnt heavily affect your weight, if you maintaining or even increasing muscle mass your weight will not change the measurements are the big factor that and how you feel, do you feel better, healthier, more energy?

i can check you BMI if you like, just FM me height and weight and i will FM u the your BMI and what you should be at to be healthy, if u like.......

how much weight do you want to lose?
if you really wanna change the scale try a healthy diet

Hmmmm...I think two weeks is not that long to see a scale change...esp if you are small to begin with (which you look pretty small to me!)

Do you drink a lot of water? Are you snacking alot? Cardio? Those are my recommendations but keep up the good work...sounds like you are on the right track!!!!

i dont think 2 weeks is enough,
it took me 2 months to see results - i lost 14 lbs in 2 months - with 3/4 times goign to the gym and cutting down on food and eating healthier
