Ive been working out for 3 weeks now and i havent seen any improvement what am i doing wrong.

i do this everyday.

100 pushups
700 differents situps (crunches,bicicle,side crunches)
6 min of rotating a 10 pound medicine ball side to side.
6 min moving side to side (like touching the outside of my knee)
4 rounds on heavybag (2rounds of combinations, and 2 rounds of only one hand)
3mile run

ive started keeping a 1000 calorie per day diet. I havent eaten any junk food that much and ive been drinking a lot of water.

Protein is the building block to building muscle, protein builds muscle and cuts fat. There is your problem.

your only hurting your self by tearing down your muscle and not rebuilding them. i suggest this http://www.gnc.com/productDetails.aspx?id=350419&lang=en (http://)

after every workout take it right away with water not milk and you should see some results.It worked for me.

You need 1-2 grams of protein per pound each day to make gains.

The muscle will burn the fat, muscle weighs more than fat so you might tip the scale a little bit higher but you will be leaner. But once the fat is gone you should be around the same weight.

Perhaps you should try a cutting diet and get pretty lean and then add muscle.
