Started gym routine but not losing weight

Well..one way to measure is by a tape measure. Another is by how your clothes fit. What the scale says. I mean, day by day my scale can tell me I've gained 2lbs, lost 3lbs, gained 1.6lbs, lost none. But I only take the 7th day number. (Tuesday 274.6-Tuesday 273) that kinda thing. I'm a compulsive weigher, but it's the 7th number that counts. If you notice after about 2 - 3weeks, that you're number is creeping up on your weigh in days, then you'll knw. If the tape measure is adding inches (I'd recommend measuring in the morning, before you've eaten/drank anything to get as consistent enough numbers). And if you're clothes are fitting tighter.

There might be some other answer that Steve or someone can shed some light on, but that's how I'd do it.

Ah, not the documentitive type? I love documenting things, I'm a paper nerd =)
You can document however you wish. During the day, keep a piece of paper in ur pocket to write things down on, at the end of the nite while you're bummin around the site or something, plug it all in, count it up, and soon you'll wonder why you werent doing this before! Even better, you can still sit on your tookus to document, unless walking around while you write/type is your thing =P
 
Oh. I also meant to add in the post before.

When it comes to nutrition, don't look at the things you can't do. Like, don't say "Oh I'll never be able to eat this again" and don't focus on thinking you'll never get to eat the things you like ever again. Think of it more as "I'm eating what I like, but I'm eating smaller portions" or "I'm eating what I like, but I'm substituting higher fat foods for lower fat foods". (i THINK i have that in the right order? Lower fat instead of higher) Even small changes, like baked french fries instead of deep fried french fries can be a huge change!
