How long to see big results from exercise?

[losenotloose]

I need some words of encouragement and reassurance to keep me motivated! I started exercising beginning of November 2-3 times a week. Since beginning of this month I've been exercising 4-5 times a week, a combination of body pump, spin and running. On top of this I've also really been watching what I eat. Not a diet as such but MUCH less sugar, smaller portions, minimal snacking.

Despite all of this I've lost about 2 pounds. I'm not technically overweight which I know will make it harder but considering I've gone from walking being my only exercise and eating like a pig I am disappointed with my progress so far. I've never stuck to exercise long term before. When can I expect to see more visible results?

Thanks!

Re your typical food intake - I would say that’s too many carbs in a day .. switch to less carbs and more healthy protein and you’ll see a big difference.. ... also count every calorie... it’s easy to eat more than you think!
other than that mix up your exercise and stick at it ...

Good luck
