I'm desperate to lose a few pounds/excess baby weight that's hanging on. In an effort to sort myself out 2 weeks ago I started dieting and exercising. I'm exercising every 2nd day and it's a combination of strength and cardio (running 5k).

I'm using my fitness pal and my daily limit is 1200 calories. Usually I come in on target but if I don't I'm at no more than 1500 per day. I'm making a conscious effort to choose healthy foods and drink plenty of water and NOTHING! Not so much as a pound in 2 weeks, not a flicker on the scales! What am I doing wrong? I wasn't thinking I'd be down a stone in two weeks or anything but nothing at all? I'm not expecting too much, am I?

I keep reading that protein is what we should focus on, yet MFP plans for 50% of the daily intake to be carbs. How does this work?
