(Posted by: The laws above so stay below on 2010-02-08 09:09:56)

Here is the scenario. I am 17 years old. My height is 5foot 10. My weight is 199 pounds. I am over weight. I have been on a diet for 3 weeks now. And to be honest i believe i am becoming slimier. However this may be a illusion in my mind. Furthermore i have started to consume more veg and meat as i cut from simple carbohydrates like potatoes and junk food. I drink plenty of water. And here is my weeks training. (My old weeks were just staying home and gym) Monday: Gym Tuesday: Jogging/ Sprinting Wednesday: Football Thursday: Library (So no exercise) Friday: Swimming Saturday: Sprinting/ jogging Sunday: Rest and family. The real problem is that before i have been on a diet. My weight was recorded as 195 pounds and three weeks in i am gaining weight. Which to be honest has sort of demotivated me from my diet. When will i be able to see the real weight loss?

You should Only weigh your self once every two weeks as your body weight changes all of time, also you are most likely gaining muscle as the big change of exercise in your life which weighs more than fat. You probably are looking slimer, the scales dont mean everything so dont worry and keep at it you will probably see changes in the scale soon anyway. hope this helps
