Okay so here we go. I finally decided that i'm fat and I have a bunch of excuses to stay that way. So I joined a gym and got a workout buddy who has been keeping me motivated!! So i'm 3 weeks into excercising 5 days a week. Cardio 5 days and weightlifting various body parts 5 days a week. Like legs and the lower half 3x a week and the upper half 2x week. Switching it out every other week. So here's my question. I'm 5'4 and 230.. How long is it going to take before I start seeing weight loss? I'm starting week 3 and havent' lossed a pound. I do eat healthy, veggies, fruit, lowfat dairy products, wheat and whole grains. Eating 5x a day small porptions, tracking what i eat on dailyplate. So I know how to eat smart. I'm drinking somewhere around 96 oz of water, some 1% milk for calcium, occasional o.j., but mainly water. Please any advice..??
ANother question, replacing electolytes.. good thing or bad thing, do I drink gatorade.. and how much daily, every other day or weekly? I've been tired cause i'm going in the morning, and I know it's a HUGE change for me, but could the reason i'm tired is bc i haven't been replacing them?
Also, any workout tips would be appreciated...

Thanks for the Help!
GO ME, I am women hear me ROAR!! I can and WILL do this!!!
