    It took me 3 weeks to get my first scale result. I was SOOO close to giving up, especially as I logged everything I put into my mouth and went to the gym 4-5 times a week.
    I'm glad I stuck with it though - I've now lost 18lbs in 15 weeks and am 3lbs away from my fist goal. Do stick with it - if you do it right it WILL work.

    Good luck.

    for me it took about 3 weeks before i saw a loss that stuck, i skipped up and down those first week as my body adjusted to more water, better eating and new excercise. some weeks i still skip up and down with one or two pounds and then i will have a couple of weeks of continious losing. i def saw a loss in inches before the scale setteled down
