Well since i joined the gym and started working out, i have only been losing 2 lbs a week and i have lost no inches. I am a little concerned. My coach said to eat 4 proteins the day i go to the gym and i may have to stop going if this continues. I dont get it, i should be seeing results from going to the gym.

You are probably definitely building muscle, which will slow down the scale loss initially, but will help speed it up soon afterwards!! I just had the same thing, a fantastic first 3 weeks on plan, then I started exercising, and it all stopped - every ounce of loss - for 2 full weeks. For the first week, not even any measurements to brag about. But my husband kept telling me to keep on going, and lo and behold, it has finally started up again!! And I actually am starting to have muscle tone for the first time in who knows how long.
You are doing great things for yourself, success is on it's way!
