Are you exercising ? How long have you been at it ?  

Yes exercising every other day. I have been serious at it for about 3 weeks. 

I do 1800-2000 Calories while cutting 40% Carbs 30% Protein 30%Fats Last 3 Weeks lost 15lbs.  

Darrienv I am very happy for you. it does not look like you are even exercising. LOL not fair! any special diet? 

If you are on the short side (under 5'2"), it's going to be a slow process. And you're also near your goal weight, which definitely makes it harder. Persevere, my dear. Maybe toss around some 3-5 lb. dumbbells to build muscle & strengthen your bones; toning up might be all you really need at this point. 

Basically Doing Kinobody. Has Intermittent Fasting. And I workout 3 Days week. Heavy weight training about 45 minutes 

Yes soonsoonsoon I am 5'3" I do the dumb bells along with other things for 1 hour and treadmill for 45 min at 3.2 

Darrienv by fasting do you mean nothing but water all day? 

Lots of Water,and 1-2 Black Coffees to blunt appetite.  

Here's the thing: You cannot expect to see results overnight, or even within a few days. Weight-loss may be as slow as 3 pounds per month. You have GOT to make sure you're eating enough to "fuel the flame" so-to-speak. This means eating as much as you would be comfortable eating for a lifestyle, which, unless you're disabled or a 2-year-old, is going to be more than 900 calories a day. You might be able to lose weight eating so little, but it's going to lead to a binge that will put it on all the quicker. I've been sick here lately and haven't been able to eat as much here lately, but even on total bed-rest sick, I've been eating about 1100 calories a day. It's horrible for your digestion to eat less than 1000 calories a day. You're body will hold onto every morsel you're eating, pulling out all the nutrients it can and you'll find constipation followed by episodes of diarrhea most likely. I don't mean to sound pushy, but real sustainable weight-loss happens when you have enough calories, you move your body, you don't crash-diet, and (in my case) you step off of the scale and focus on how you feel. I've maintained my 50+ pound weight loss for over a year, eating until I'm full and satisfied, listening to my body, and keeping a food journal. I don't focus on calories personally, but I did at the beginning so I can view it as a useful tool. 

1lb a week is awesome. At the end of the day its all about Calories in Calories out. So if you consume lets say 2000 Calories and you burned 2500 Calories that day,that means youre at a 500 Caloric Deficit. 3500cal in 1lb. So in 7 days thats 1lb loss. Simple lol
