how long did it take?


Quote  |  Reply
I was just curious how long it has been taking everyone to see weight loss?  I put it on SO easily but it takes forever to get it off.  Finally I am motivated again to get back into shape but it's going to be rough.  So I was wondering if you guys have seen some weightloss relatively quickly between eating less calories and working out more!...

A couple of weeks, but it took me a couple of weeks to modify my eating habits and get some more exercise.

I started counting calories about 6 weeks ago and it hasn't been until the past couple of weeks that I've seen any significant loss.  However, the first 3-4 weeks were spent figuring things out and shrinking my appetite.  (I started at 210 and I'm 5'2")

CC calculated I needed 1850 cals per day to lose one lb a week.  This calorie amount resulted in less than half a pound per week.  I finally bumped my cals down to 1600 cals a day and it has made a huge difference.  I am now down 9 lbs... most of which has come off in the past 2-3 weeks since making the calorie adjustment.

Even though the first few weeks were hard because I wasn't losing much, it was a good transition to the lower calories I have now.  Hope this helps...  :)
