don't worry Michelle, it takes time. I bet you if you stay consistent, next week or the week after that the lbs. will be shedding away. You'll start dropping lbs., but then you'll plateau...then you'll have to change your routine. At least that's what I've noticed for myself. If all else fails cut out the sugars, anything white, and drink a lot of water...that's what I plan to do 2 weeks before the wedding.
