This is at least my 4th attempt at counting calories while nursing and the same result.
The scale did not budge all week. My calorie goal was around 1500 and I am so proud of myself for everything I turned down. I was focused and did not waver. I want this so bad!
I will not give up. It has to work, eventually, right?
Are you measuring your food? Or using guess work? I was estimating cups for cereal and milk as well as other things and what I thought was a cup was 1.5 cups it turns out.
Counting also isn't always exact. These are best estimates. Are you "eating back" calories you exercise?
Sometimes I see a few ups on the scale, then a DROP. It takes a while for the drop sometimes. If you are eating less calories then you take in, it will drop eventually. Just keep at it!
