    I am getting so frustrated. I am a "skinny pcos" but gained some weight after haviing my daughter. I am about 15lbs from goal weight. Started exercising, keeping to a much cleaner diet (lower carb), doing cardio and weight training 3 to 4 days/wk. It has been over 3 wks now and I have not lost one single, solitary pound. I know that I build muscle kind of fast, and seem to be to toning up a bit more, but I would like to fit in my normal clothes again and see at least SOME sign of weightloss. Any idea when things start leveling out with regards to muscle/fat ratio? I feel like I am just running in place and getting no where.

    Water retention when you start exercising is common. The time it takes to go away varies by person but a month is not unusual.

    Calories are king. Are you tracking them?

    Since you are close to your goal weight, your 'wins' from this may be mostly in measurements. How are you doing in that area? I just started adding weekly measurements to my tracking
