I love spinning as well!

You're doing great! Try not to expect much for the first 6-8 weeks. This is a big shock to your body & it might fight to hold onto fat. make sure you are upping your protein intake to fuel your new muscle.

Spoken like a lazy hypocrite DH was my personal trainer before we were together, so at one point, I did know what I'm talking about.

As Mrs. Bird, said, make sure you're eating the right 'kind' of calories, not just the right number.. protein, healthy fat, and healthy carbs (meaning fruits and vegetables, not necessarily grains..but if you eat grains, eat GRAINS and not 'whole grain bread' - quinoa, wheatberries, bulgar, etc). MFP should give you a macronutrient breakdown of your calories so you can make sure the proporitions are on track for fats/protein/carb breakdown! I was so shocked when I started looking at mine because my diet was like 80% carbs!

But also, don't give up It can take time to start seeing a difference so just hang in there!

Like a few PP have said, weight loss is MAJORLY dictated by what you are eating (at least that's how it has been for me). I've always been a mega work-out person, but only when I'm being very specific about my eating do I see any results.
