+1 to all the advice to wait it out. It's infuriating but it will be a good two months before you have enough really good data to look at. In the meantime, make sure whatever you're doing is sustainable for you -- 1000 to 1300 calories sounds kind of extreme.

This. Sadly.

Nothing bad ever happened from eating right and exercising. Keep on going, and you'll see a change soon.

weigh only in the morning first thing

Drink lots of water.

two weeks isn't enough. You will see the changes if you stick with it

Use Happy Scale app.

How often are you weighing yourself? Even with a perfect diet weight fluctuates. I find weighing daily to be a better gauge of whether you’re losing weight. I’d also give it a solid month and double check that your are in fact tacking EVERYTHING you’re consuming.

1000-1300 calories? That sounds really low. I’d be starving.

Make sure you’re getting enough potassium. I’ve noticed that getting all my potassium really helps with water weight which is what I suspect you maybe dealing with.

Also make sure you’re getting enough water. I drink at least 100 oz a day.

Since going off the pill (where my weight never budged down, no matter how hard I tried) it's been crazy seeing how much flux is due to hormones. Post period to ovulation theres a slight downswing, right after ovulation theres a big drop--can go down 4 lbs usually, then the few days up to my period shoots up. Same pattern every month. I've had enough months to notice this trend while maintaining a healthy diet to know the food is not the issue here. Maybe it's the same for you?

Do you exercise?

I have been counting calories - between 1000 and 1300 calories for 2 weeks and the scale is up 3 lbs. I want to cry. I do not eat white carbs, junk or sugar. Just venting .
