How long does it take.

I also find that when I exercise I seem to be more hungry? Is that normal? If so how do you fight that, when you are trying to lose?

You are more hungry because you are burning more calories. You need to fuel your body properly for it to burn fat and build muscle. Too few calories and you will lose weight in the beginning, then muscle, then your metabolism will slow down. Be certain to eat plenty of calories, but make certain they are nutritious.
