Kicking my own ass

[Babyshambles]

Four weeks ago yesterday I started changing things about my lifestyle, hoping to lose weight and just generally be healthier. I started jogging for about 30 minutes four/five times a week (and i've been increasing the time gradually) followed by a whole bunch stomach exercises I looked up on the internet. In terms of diet, it's still far from perfect but I changed a few important things, such as cutting down portion sizes, switching to wholegrain everything, eating way more fruit etc. I thought I was doing really well and I was proud of myself for sticking to all that, but I haven't really noticed much change in how I look..

I certainly don't think I've lost any weight, and apparently from more muscle tone in my arms, legs and stomach (only a little here). And most annoyingly, my skin is still in terrible condition
I haven't been weighing myself (mostly because i'm scared to step on the scales in the first place) but I was hoping to at least FEEL a little better by now.

I'm just wondering what other things I should be doing?
Any help would be much appreciated

step on the scale. weighing in monthly or twice a month is fine, as is looking at yourself in the mirror since adding muscle while losing fat (yes, it can be done...slowly) will skew what the scale tells you even though you are making progress.

You might not be eating 'well enough' still. You can own a Porsche, but if you don't put Premium in it it'll run like crap. You can drive your body like a sports car, but not if you try to use diesel fuel

Exactly what, and exactly how much of it are you eating, and when?

How much water do you drink?
Multi-vitamin?

just curious, you said you'e eatinga ton of fruit, while fruit is healthy, some has a good amount of sugar, and could be high in calories. I know a banana has a decent amount of sugar and calories, and I don't find it nearly as filling as say, a piece of chicken, or even a protein bar.
