Not losing any weight.. Help!

I have been doing this for about 2 weeks now and i havent lost any weight. I have been counting my calories on a different app. And on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I lift weights for about 40 min and on the other days its mostly cardio. I have been eating half of what i used to. Now i eat between 1200 n 1500 calories a day. Im 26 and close to 300lb. I do not drink any soda. I drink lemon water at least once a day n just plain water the rest of the day. My husband n I are going to start riding bikes to get in more exercise but im starting to get discouraged since i am basically the same as i was a few weeks ago. I measure also and havent lost any there either. I dont snack on junk food and I stopped eating pizza and ice cream. ( pizza used to be ate like 3 times a week lol ) If i do snack its on a banana or strawberries. I take a prenatal vitamin every day. Does it take longer to see any progress or am i doing something wrong? The only real difference is my body doesn't hurt like it used to and i have more energy but thats it. Please help me i really want to lose this weight!!

Hi Hun,

Just wanted to say we are similar weights

Are you drinking enough water? I have lost weight before cal counting and sometimes up my cals a bit at the weekend to zig zag my cals as I have heard good things about that

Are you eating enough hun? Know that sounds a bit crazy but I am eating 1900 on week day and 2300-2600 at weekends and not doing any exercise other than 5000 steps a day.

Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will come along and answer you qu soon hun.

Take care xxxx

Umm well i drink about 5-6 16.9 oz bottles full bottles of water a day so im guessing i do lol not exactly sure how much water i need.. I heard u need more water the more u weigh but idk how much water that would be.. And i track my calories on myfitnesspal n when u sign up u put in ur weight n height n activity level n asks u how much u want to lose a week n i put 2 pounds n it gives u how many calories u should eat to be able to lose that much a week so thats what i been going by. It gives me a 1600 cal goal n i try to stay under it . I stay at home all day so i wasnt really doing much but now i workout everyday except the weekends.. I have never heard of zig zaging calories so i know nothing about that .. kinda afraid to lol

You might not lose weight if you eat more than you typically would over the five days to make up for the calories you lose while fasting. And you might even put on weight if you eat too many high-calorie, high-sugar, or overly processed foods on those days.
