I have no idea what to do anymore......

I have everything I need a personal trainer, diet pills, workout videos and I do not eat everything is sight. But I am not seeing any results. It could be that I have not been working out long enough but I think in 2 weeks, I should have seen something. I am currently 170 and I want to be 145. It is the hardest thing ever. Is it unrealistic to have a goal date of July1st? I try everything and I work out hard. Currently we work out every other day, should I step that up to M-F as opposed to MWF? I do the Firm video tape on T and Th. I might get an evening run on T or Th as opoosed to the firm. The fact that one pair of jeans is fitting tighter is not helping me at all. I am extremely discouraged and my hips are HUGE. Please offer some encouraging advice.

I posted this same thread in support because that is what i needed. After scrolling on the site, I saw that this was the place for introductions...so here goes.....

You seem to be doing the right things. You may put on muscle which weighs more than fat. I would ask your personal trainer. I have been on SB for 3 months and have lost 16 lbs. It doesn't sound like too much but my clothes are fitting better. I think if you stick to it and weight yourself once a week and talk to your trainer about the muscle weight you may have some results.

You can do it and check these boards for inspiration. I too was stuck for a very long time but I know that I eventually will lose it.

In my first week of exercise I put on 2.5# and then at the end of my first month, that was all I had lost, 2.5#.... VERY frustrating because I knew I had made some big changes and was working very hard... But after the second month things were a lot better... I dropped another 9.5# and counting, and it is getting easier...

Stick with it! You WILL lose! I look forward to reading about your success!!
