I have been a member at my local gym for 3 months now, going around three to four times a week as well as counting calories. For the past month I have been seeing a personal trainer once a week as well as my regular gym sessions, and have been trying to follow joe wicks' 'lean in 15' recipes and guide to eating. Now I haven't lost an inch or a lb since I started three months ago! My bmi says I am near to overweight and I am working hard exercise wise, with a mixture of strength training, HIIT and regular running as I am doing a fun run later this year.

Please help as to where I am going wrong, I know it's early days but there really is no change in me! Do I need to encorporate protein powder into my diet? I'm completely lost here!!

    What are your current stats and calorie goal?

    Get a scale- weigh everything. Measuring and eyeballing things can get you way off on your logged calories and you say that you're 'trying' to follow some leanin15 thing (no idea what that is but I'm guessing it's a food plan?) but 'trying' means you aren't always following it or that you're making changes. Log everything, weigh everything, stick to it. It doesn't mean you have to cut anything out, just fit them into your calories for the day/week.

    Adding protein powder won't necessarily change anything since it's not a fix. Protein may help you feel full but in the end, you need to stay within your calorie goals.

    Losing weight is 90% diet and 10% exercise. You can work out until you pass out but if your eating isn't under control, you'll continue to be fat.

    I know no one wants to believe it but... eating too much food makes you fat. That's pretty much the only way anyone gets fat - consuming too many calories.

    ^^ This. Period. You may want to open up your diary and we can see what you're eating.
