[quote=Coach_Power_Serg][quote=Anonymous]I know weight loss is a marathon not a sprint, but I am feeling so defeated.  I have about 40 pounds to lose (42F) and have been exercising daily (except Sunday) for 3 weeks.  My routine either consists of a 5 mile walk, 3 mile run, tennis, lifting etc.  I am burning at least 400 calories in a session.  I am eating less than I was before and have cut out breads/alcohol, but I travel often for work so am eating out more than I would like to be, though I have been boxing half my meals.  I realize its all about calories in vs calories out, but I was basically sedentary prior and I have definitely made changes in my diet, so I feel like I should see something.  For those who have been here, how long was it before you noticed a change or started losing weight?[/quote]

Hey there! My name is Sergio and I'm a Coach. First of all kudos to you for starting your own journey! I'm glad you're taking action towards bettering yourself! That sounds like a good routine but I definitely think you went 0-100 real quick and might have put your body through more physical stress than it was ready for! I would focus on your lifestyle habits like how often you're eating a day, protein with every meal, water intake, etc. It's hard to outwork a diet that might be holding you back! You mentioned eating out a lot so you have to take that into consideration. I work with a lot of my clients on habits like those when we first start working together before getting into more strict regiments. Your approach isn't bad! I would definitely give it more time and prioritize those weights more than anything else. What do you usually do in the gym? What do you typically order when you eat out? Do you know what you should be eating in those scenarios?[/quote]
