Jumpstart Metabolism

Ok, I need some ideas about how to jumpstart a metabolism! I have been watching calories/exercising (minimally, starting slow) for over 10 days and haven't lost a single pound or even remotely lost it in measurements.

Any great ideas on how to get my metabolism to speed up and give me a break?

    I don't think you've given your body enough time to make the change. Be patient! As long as you're eating at a caloric deficit and exercising you'll lose weight but you have to be patient. Hard I know!!! Definitely take your measurements tho. When I first started exercising and watching my calories I noticed it more in my measurements than in my weight loss. It'll happen! I could be wrong on this but I don't think there's really any way to jump start your metabolism except to eat the right foods. Good luck!!!!!!!;-)

    Well, if feeling better is any indication then I do feel the endorphins. And even though I haven't seen any results yet I am still positive. I am just getting antsy about it.

    Thanks for the encouragement :)
