Hey, I had the same problem as you did. Worked my ass off and didnt "see" the results. You didnt gain weight in 3 weeks so its impossible to think to lose it in less time. Some ways to keep track of your progress is 1) Measure your body fat. I keep track of mine once a month. As long as thats going down I don't care what the scale says. Since your weight training you may in fact gain weight before you lose it. (Muscle weighs more than fat remember)
2) Take progress pictures. Its almost impossible to notice changes in your shape without them over a shorter time span. You see yourself every day so you may not notice that your thighs are slightly more tone from one picture to the next.
3) As long as you are eating at least 5-6 times a day of healthy meals the only thing to do is to stay motivated.
Thats really the hard part, dragging yourself to the gym when your dog tired, the scale is lying to you and your thinking whats the point??? I have started and stopped a couple times myself over the years and I always think "wow, would I look like now if I was still going to the gym"
Soon, you will get used to working out and going to the gym will become second nature. Don't think of it as instant gratification, make working out, and eating right a lifestyle change instead.
Hope this helps!!!
Shadon is exactly right with her suggestions. Also, I would add that taking body measurements once per month will also help you to get a more accurate picture of your results.
It's actually really common for women who are weight training to not lose weight for extended periods of time. As you lose fat and gain muscle, your weight might not change even though you are losing inches and looking better.
The scale is actually a pretty lousy way to chart your progress.
