I have been working out religiously preparing for the police academy, and on a high protein diet. I weight about 150 and am 5 foot so I would like to be at about 125, I understand I takes time, I used to be in great shape in highschool, but I figured after 2 months I would have lost a little weight. I just can't get the scale to budge and I haven't lost any inches off my waist.
2 months, haven't lost 1 lb.: I have been... - Couch to 5K
2 months, haven't lost 1 lb.
Running, workouts, high protein diet... I think you have gained muscle and burned fat. Are you any smaller anywhere else? It doesn’t always go from where we would like it to first!
I have noticed I've lost weight around my armpit area and have muscle back in my legs again. I eat high protein but very little, I'm woundering if I'm not eating enough.
It’s very possible... have you tracked calorie intake?
Yes I use the my fitness pall app and I'm eating around 1,000-1,200 calories a day

I just guessed some other things about you and the calorie range for healthy weight loss was higher than that. The advice the give is to eat towards the top of that scale and exercise... as I said I made some guesses, but it was suggesting eating to 1750 calories with moderate exercise.
Thank you so much! 😊
May be worth joining this forum too

There’s more knowledge in there than in any weight loss book ever... they’re real friendly too.
I lost close to 20lbs and nothing has budged in the belly area, I’m disappointed too ☹️
I haven’t lost a thing, but I am much fitter. Need to eat better as well as moving more, I guess.
Try to work out how many calories you're burning in a day. Google 'TDEE' which stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Once you work that one out, set your daily calorie intake on MFP to about 500 calories less than your TDEE. That will give you a weekly calorie deficit of 3500 calories which roughly equates to 1lb of fat. You have to be consistent though. No secret weekend feeds which you don't track. Also, try to avoid alcohol. When you drink alcohol, your body uses a lot of energy trying to remove it from your system when it should be metabolizing your food. Don't be scared of carbs or fats. Your body needs them as well as protein. It's all about the calories. Good luck!
