Why do i feel like this isnt enough...
so i started going to the gym...
5 days a week, i do 30-45 min of Cardio (eliptical/bike/tredmill/zumba) and then i do another 30 min in the circuit (Lucille Roberts).
i have not been dieting hardcore, but have been watching what i eat...
i feel like in 3 weeks i should have lost more than 7.5 pounds...
does this sounds right to you? i am getting fustrated, i feel like i should have lost at least 10 lbs...
maybe i am setting my expectations too high

healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week.

For not dieting "hard core" I'd say you are doing great! 7.5 lbs over 3 weeks is awesome1

Re: Why do i feel like this isnt enough...
You actually wouldn't want to lose much more than that in 3 weeks. The weight you have lost is very likely to be mostly fat loss because you are working out so much. The goal is to strengthen and tone the muscle while shedding the fat that is over it.
I think you are doing a great job! Let me know if you would like some further advice and FM me..good luck!

Re: Why do i feel like this isnt enough...
I've been exercising 5 days a week and doing a hardcore diet and only lost 6.5 in 4 weeks, so 7.5 in 3 weeks is great!

I agree. I'd say you are doing great. You don't want to lose more than a pound or two at most a week. Any more and the weight usually comes right back.
