2 weeks straight. For my hour lunch i walk hills and at night i do 20 minutes cardio on the stairclimber. Every day is a different workout for muscle groups after my cardio....BUT..the scale hasnt moved. Ive been eating healthy too...what's going on???
Answer:
Assuming that when you way that you are eating healthy you mean that you are staying on a reduced calorie diet, the problem may indeed be that you are eating too FEW calories.When your body's caloric deficit becomes too great, your body goes into starvation mode which triggers fat storage and stops your body from losing weight. You shouldn't be cutting your caloric intake too far below what your body needs. You should focus on taking in about 1500 calories over the course of five meals in a day. By eating every 2.5-3 hours, you keep your body's metabolism pumping and don't give your body an opportunity to think it is starving. That amount of calories with the amount of physical activity that you are doing should be fine. Also, try to avoid simple sugars for the time being (including not overdoing it on fruit...especially in the evening). These sugars can actually inhibit fat loss in the body. Good luck and don't quit. It will come off soon enough.

the average body burns between 1800-2300 calories / day, your 20 mins of cardio probably add 200-300 to that so you are burning say 2600 a day total depending on diet you may be consuming somewhere between 2000-3000 a day. Assume it is 2200 you are losing 400 calories / day, there are about 3600 calories in 1 lb so every 9 days if you don't cheat you will lose around 1 lb, this will however vary drastically with your diet.

Your gaining muscle...muscle weights more than fat. Don't judge it by the scale..you judge it by tone and inches.Use a tape measureYou could also try a calorie counter you may not being burning enough calories after your intake to make a difference.

Do NOT watch the scale religiously. Experts will suggest once a week MAX, and make sure you are weighing yourself the same time each week (as in Sunday morning). Weigh yourself in the morning, after going to the bathroom, before eating or drinking anything. Weight varies throughout the day.Besides, the scale weights body weight in general - not fat. You're probably gaining muscle which weighs more than fat. A better way to tell if you are slimming down - the fit of your clothes. Eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, and exercise - if its not working, try decreasing the amount you eat. You need to burn more calories than you consume. Make sure you are only eating when you are hungry (dont skip meals though, just stop snacking when you dont need the calories), and only eat until you are satisfied.

Even though you are eating healthy you may be taking in more calories than you are burning.
The other thing is that you could be putting on muscle which weighs more than fat, but takes up less space.
It will normally take about 6 weeks to see a difference, and you'll notice it more in how your clothes fit.
There are medical problems that make it hard to loose weight, keep trying and if you don't see any results after a couple of months see your doctor.

you have to be burning more than your consuming. you're not eating more than usual because your working out are you? some things to consider: you can't depend on the scale. you could be losing fat and gaining muscle and muscle weighs more. the way your clothes fit you is probably a better way to tell. your body doesn't really get going until after 15 or 20 minutes. it will help but take longer. do it for 30 or 45 to see faster results. It's best to do it all at once because you get your heart pumping and keep it pumping: burn more.

You've only been doing it for two weeks. What were you expecting?Give it a couple of months. Or a year. These things take time, effort, and discipline.
