Ive recently been trying to lose weight for my holiday which is now 3 months away. I have been eating healthier, cutting out junk food and trying to add more fruit and veg, not eating bread etc. and making sure i eat 3 healthy meals a day, without unhealthy snacking inbetween. I also go to either the gym or swimming almost every day where possible, as well as some body toning and fitness classes when i can.

I have been sticking to this for the last 3 or 4 weeks, but im yet to lose any weight. I know its still quite soon, but really, not even a pound. Im the first to admit i do have my occasional slips, crisps are my weakness, but nothing compared to previously. Despite these slips my diet is still much much healthier than it was, which i thought should at least make some sort of difference?

im 20 years old, i weigh 12 stone, and im a uk size 12-14. I know this isnt exactly huge, but i am definately uncomfortable with my body shape. Im not looking for anything extreme, i dont want to be a size 0, i just want to slim down and tone up so i am comfortable with my body and can happily wear summer clothes on holiday without feeling the need to constantly cover up, as i do now.

Where am i going wrong? anyone have any advice?
