So you've been exercising right? You've been working out hard, but you see no results... See, the number one mistake most people make when they begin exercising is expecting results right away. My family and I have been working out every morning at 6 in the a.m. for a month and a half now. Not very long right? My sister became upset because she has seen no change in her body, which began to discourage her.
First of all, even if you see no change, we should all be exercising anyways, change or no change. Second of all, sometimes your diet can completely overtake your exercise if you aren't watching what you eat. Obviously you shouldn't become paranoid about what you eat, but just don't eat sweets or fat food. I may not have been doing this for very long at all but I have been doing plenty of research, and honestly, its just common sense.
Also, looks can be very deceiving when it comes to exercising and slimming down. I have seen no physical change in my body. However, my measurements from April 1st to now say something very different. In April, my waist was 30'' and is now currently 28'', which is why I told my sister to start measuring herself. To me, this is a much more reliable way of measuring change in your body rather than a scale or pictures.
Eventually there will be a time when the scale and pictures will show a difference, but for now focus on your measurements and especially on endurance or strength increases which are much more important, and the best indicators that your body really is improving.
The only way you really will see changes in your body is if you stop expecting to see changes in your body and just exercise. Since you're exercising and eating right, your body has no choice but to improve, so just give it time :)
