Please say they do...I started calorie counting almost 2 weeks ago and it was going so well. The first week I lost 5lbs by sticking to around 1400 calories a day (my allotted 1200 plus extras earnt through exercise). This week I've stuck to 1200 and saved the exercise calories so I could have a treat on Friday night. Didn't go that crazy though - I went over my daily allowance but didn't go over what I'd saved iyswim. I don't appear to have lost anything :( (although I don't officially weigh myself until tomorrow morning). I have got my period this week though so could it be water retention or something?? I honestly haven't been cheating, I've been logging everything on myfitnesspal. I didn't necessarily expect to keep up 5lb a week but I thought I'd lose a couple of pounds at least?! Where could I have gone wrong?
