While at work I go up and down 3 flights of stairs several time a day. The only progress I've made physically is that my butt has stopped hurting. Every day my legs hurt, I often have to slow down while going up the stairs.
I have now known medical conditions, other than being about 30-40 lbs over-fat, and had a check up a few weeks ago.
I know I should cut out the sodas completely, and I'm working on it.
Why am I not losing any weight/inches? How long should I expect it to take before something starts happening?
The sudden increase in activity and decrease in calories has probably sent your body the wrong message and now it thinks it's starving.
Change up those bad carbs for good carbs and don't get too worried about your diet save for making sure you avoid foods that are high is sugar and fat and replace those with healthier choices.
You will be building muscle mass so things may not look much different on the scale for a while and make sure you get proper rest and stay hydrated... 8 glasses of H20 a day will do wonders.
It's all about small steps and I am sure that in a short period of time you will look in the mirror and be going, "damn".
