I joined a gym six weeks ago because I’m sitting at 170 lbs at 5'6". My routine is 50 minutes on the stepper, bike, or treadmill, plus about 20 minutes on machines doing high reps with light weights—exactly what my trainer suggested. Diet-wise, I’m aiming for 1500 calories a day. If a craving hits, I indulge, but I’m not face-planting into a bag of chips or a whole chocolate bar; maybe one square of chocolate once a week, that's it. So, where's the catch? I honestly don't get why there are ZERO visible results!! The scale hasn't budged an inch, my clothes aren't fitting any differently, and I haven't lost a single centimeter! I know six weeks isn't forever, but you should see at least some progress by now. I planned to stick with this three times a week through next summer, but now I'm dragging myself there feeling like it's all for nothing. I really don't eat much. Sometimes I feel like crying seeing my coworkers inhaling pizza for lunch while I'm over here stretching out a single 50-gram slice of whole wheat bread, a banana, and an apple over an eight-hour shift. And guess what? All those gluttons are thinner than me. I don't overeat at home either; if anything, I can barely eat enough to feel full. I have the willpower and I want to get in shape, but... sometimes I just hit a wall of pure despair. I'd love to hear your stories. Was it this frustrating for everyone starting out? Does anyone have advice? Thanks.

Is this whey 🤷 actually worth anything??? 🤷
