    First off, that's a LOT to change all at once. The issue with making that many changes all at one time is that there's a really good chance you're going to give up on most of them (if not all) once it starts getting tough(er).

    So, to start, I'd suggest making some smaller changes and giving your body some time adjust. If you're just starting working out, there's a really good chance you're going not see much progress on the scale for awhile. For me, it can take a good month or so (in which time the scale may very well go UP), and I go through this every time I make a fairly significant change to my current workout (which I have been doing here lately as I'm trying to come back from a mostly year long injury and get ready for this upcoming race season).

    The scale isn't always your friend. Also take measurements once a week, and progress photos each week. That'll give you a better idea of how you're doing than just a number on a very fickle "machine."

    Thanks! I do take progress photos, just to see the difference. I need to get a new thing to measure myself, 6 year old boys destroy things lol.

    Also someone mentioned it being difficult to lose when nursing! OMG this is my life. I lost 25 pounds within a month of having my son. I have fought off and on to lose another 10-15 lbs for the past year. It is hard to stay focused and motivated. I think I just got my SO on board so maybe that will help.
