Fill out your profile and perhaps we can help somewhat. Could be that your diet isn't quite right.

Yah your profile will help, but I'd say generally 6 mnths before you can expect any Major changes. 2-3 mnths before you start getting the..hey My pants don't fit thing happening

Well, when I first started really making a serious effort it took more than five weeks before I saw any change at all.

yes, 6 weeks is a good amount to wait it out, if no changes in measurement or physique by then you may need to re-evaluate.

hamadr,

What is your weight, whats your height, and how many calories are you aiming for?

The diet seems clean enough, but I would try substituing 2 eggs with Egg white, or even just 1 egg, and egg whites. With meal 3 and Meal 5 how much pasta and rice are you eating? one cup? Also you could also use some more veggie's in there. addin some leafy and Green veggie's.
