[QUOTE="qe5rt, post: 1215876, member: 234442"] 3 weeks isn't that long to be honest. Most sustainable diets aim for a small callorie deficit that take a long time to start losing noticeable numbers. Stagnation is also very common, sooner or later your body tends to adjust to the given calories and can even release a hormone(?) that stores fat even with a calorie deficit. Also as mentioned women tend to need a very low callorie intake, for my wife it's 1200 calls while i'm at slightly less than double. Another thing to keep in mind is to always weigh yourself in the exact same place if you're not already and personally i prefer a measuring tape especially in the beginning of a cut. If you go to the gym solely for losing weight long moderate exercise is not the best way to go about it. Intense workouts often work better (in less time) and you can still lift some weights in the same time period. On a personal note i find it an easier way of going about things to think about having a callorie deficit by the end of the week (the sum of 7 days eating < burned). Furthermore perseverance is one of the hardest and best things when trying to achieve bodygoals. You're already well on your way, you make note of what you eat and upped your activity level, now you just need to keep at it and results will follow. If they don't revise and continue and your will achieve your goals. [/QUOTE]
