How come I didn't lose any weight?
I started working out last Thursday, March 13. I weighed myself this morning, Thursday march 20 and didn't lose any weight, not even 0.1lbs. I'll tell you what my remaining calories were everyday. (The first number is the number of calories I consumed that day, the second number I am subtracting if the calories I burned doing exercise and the last number total is the net.
March 13: 1122 - 516 = 646
March 14: 828 - 516 = 312
March 15: 1830 - 646 = 1185
March 16: 1315 - 688 =627
March 17: 1807- 616 = 1191
March 18: 1996-616 = 1380
March 19: 1235 -673 = 562
As you see, my net calories are very low, I don't starve myself or skip meals. I eat normally and work out at the gym (1 hour 5 min of AMT -advanced motion trainer- and then 15-20 minutes of strength). Today I was so pissed off that I didn't lose any weight I went and burned 913 just on the AMT (And probably more like 1000 when I was finished my entire workout) I am 16 years old, I'm 5'8 and I weigh 240lbs. My recommended calorie intake is 22, 113 cals a week to maintain my weight. Since last Thursday I had 5903 cals which means I should've lost at least 4.5lbs right? PLEASE HELP! I thought I would've lost 2lbs of water weight at least...thank you so so much :)
I'm not weighing myself on a scale daily, I waited one week. I know for sure I should've lost some weight even if it was only 0.5 or 1lb. In January I lost 3 lbs without even trying! And muscle mass takes a while to gain, so I know I didn't replace the my fat loss with muscle gain that quickly

people seldom lose any weight during the first week/10 days. keep at it, but you are a bit too fussy with number crunching. skip looking at the scales for a week.

First off you're weighing yourself on a scale daily and a scale isn't even accurate. So many factors can play a role in how the scale works that it's probably the most unreliable way to figure weight loss. Secondly, it takes time to lose fat. If you really want to lose weight fast you need to be at a calorie deficit with your BMR and do some type of high intensity interval training. I prefer HIIT because it burns a lot of calories and keeps burning them even after the workout. Do this kind of workout 3-5 times a week and you will lose weight. Here is a free fat burning guide that has all the information you need in it about HIIT, burning extra calories after your workout, why you're actually gaining weight, and how to stop it. Good luck!

Loosing weight doesn't matter. People pit that title on it. Really, you just want to look skinnier right? Well you probably are starting to. Your probably gaining muscle, which adds pounds BUT tones your body. Also, its going to tale more than seven days. Good luck
