You are absolutely right, and it is important to keep a positive attitude!
I had no weight loss in my first month, when I not only sweated on my treadmill but I also shoveled oodles of snow literally every other day (February blessed s-w Ontario with a LOT of the white stuff). Not only I did not lose an ounce, I think I actually gained a pound. But, I have to admit that that was before I adjusted my eating habits and I was probably overcompensating for all the calories burnt.
Even before the scale moved, I could tell that my jeans that were, prior to the beginning of my journey, getting tighter by the minute started to feel more comfortable and eventually a bit loose. I also knew that the amount of fast walking on the treadmill was good for me (high blood pressure) even if the results could not be measured yet.
Stay positive and keep washing the stinky exercise laundry! I am doing the same today myself. Best wishes.
Measuring success in other ways!
