I've been doing everything right... i think i've lost 2-3 lbs in like 2 weeks but It's just not working! i've been on south beach for about 4 days now, still excersizeing about 45 min a day in the gym... I just dont get why i'm not losing a lot. Anyone else have this problem?

well it's obviously working if you're losing. just be patient and don't give up...it's a slow process but it's worth it

I play competitive tennis, so i practice 3hours in the morning Monday-friday on alternate weeks. During the other weeks I use the time for conditioning. I have been doing that last summer and have lost a great deal of weight. But then I started bingeing on candy and lost control over what I ate so I gained about 23 lbs in this school year. During a noraml day I will be eating 5 meals about 400 calories each because I will need that much energy for my tennis and conditioning. Heres my basic schedule (omitting stuff like driving,etc) for a tennis week: wake up, run for 30 min, eat breakfast, play tennis for 3 hrs, go to the gym, spend 1 hr 10 min on the elliptical, 30 min on stairmaster, 30 min riding a bike, then lift weights for 20-30 min (every other day). I will eat a snack, Then I will swim for 1 hour. At home i'm gonna eat a snack, run for 30 minutes and then do a 20 minute winsor pilates tape. Then i will eat dinner, watch a bit of TV, and then do an advanced tae bo tape. I will be getting about 9:30 hours of sleep every night.

maybe cuz your metabolism is really slow...by drinking green tea and getting about 8 hours of sleep at night should be able to get up a bit
