A member asked:
I have been trying to lose weight for a few weeks eating 1200 calories a day and working out 3-4 time a week for 60 minutes the scale won't budge?

Working out adds mus: Sometimes starting a new workout will add muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat and the scale does not show the fat loss. Keep it up and the scale should start to show your progress. Also take some body measurements like waist hips and thighs and see if they are changing as well.
