Help my GF lose weight?

hello,

My girlfriend is trying to lose weight. Her goal is mostly to lose and not necessarily gain muscle. She won't tell me her goal but I think it's 30-40 pounds. I am trying to support her through this process.

We have both downloaded MyFitnessPal and discussed eating healthier - no calories or sugar through drinks, eating more veggies, fewer dessert like foods and the likes. She is trying to set goals to do about 3-4 hours of cardio a week at regularly spaced intervals.

It seemed like a good plan but I don't believe she's managed to lose any weight even after 3 weeks. She's becoming very discouraged. I want to help her and support her through this but I don't know how to do so because I have never tried to lose weight and I don't want her to feel pressured to lose weight for me. I want her to do it for herself. I am happy with her body.

I understand it's ultimately calories out vs calories in but there must be something she's missing because she's sticking to 1200 a day and hasn't seen results. Can anyone recommend something I can do to keep her encouraged or better a strategy we can discuss to get progress? I hate seeing her this unhappy.
