I weight a 130 lbs. I don't eat anymore crap food, I am dieting, eating healthier. Ive been doing 200 crunchs a day as well as about 30 lunges. (I've been doing this for a week) and I have been dieting alone for about a month now)
I am not in starvation mode as I eat a regular amount, just healther.
I've lost only a pound in a month!
Why am I not losing weight?

You are building muscle under the fat ... to burn fat you must do cardio exercises as well (anything that gets the heart rate up for at least 20 minutes). It's great to build muscle because muscle burns fat even when you're not doing anything (well, more than fat does by itself anyway), but you've gotta get that heart rate up there if you want to see good results. I do about 90 - 120 minutes of cardio a week and 20 - 30 minutes of toning per day. No need to do so many crunches in one day, day after day; you're not letting the abs recuperate from such hard work. Try doing it every other day, you'll probably get better results.

Are you going by the scale, or are you going by your size, how your clothes fit, and how much fat you can see/feel?
Generally, people lose about 1-2 pounds a week, so depending on where you started, you could have lost 3-5 pounds. But you need to burn fat by doing some aerobic exercise.

Sounds like your replace that fat with muscle. And keep in mind muscle weights more than fat. Keep up the good work I'm sure you'll see some results soon. Good luck!
