With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I run every other day and also do weight training 3x a week. If I keep doing this will I loose weight even tho I've only lost about 2lbs. in 2 weeks so far. Is there any way to speed up loosing more weight.

I know one guy that puts on a garbage bag and a sweat suit when doing stair master, most of the weight he loses is water but since his temp. is a lot higher he does burn for calories. You could try it if you want but don't be surprised when some of the weight comes back because a lot of it will be water weight.
