    Did you gain all your fat in 2 weeks? No!

    Did you notice yourself gaining weight each week? Probably not.

    Why expect to lose them that quickly? Patience and consistency are key when changing body composition.

    Its taken me about four months to notice a change. And even then, its extremely hard to see in the mirror, some days are better than others. Progress pictures do help and I wish I took a real "before" picture, because I compared the earliest one I had to a recent picture a few days ago and you definitely can see a change, but its taken a few months.

    Agreed with this who have said:

    -You need patience.
    Two weeks is nothing.

    -It's not muscle.
    You're supposedly in a deficit (are you using a food scale for ALL foods that aren't liquid, even prepackaged food?) and doing cardio. Muscle mass isn't created that way. It takes a long time, a lot of work and eating over maintenance to build muscle outside of newbie gains.
