How long to see results?
| Fri, 08-26-2005 - 1:31pm |
I know this is a tough question to answer, but how long does it take to start seeing results? I am starting to exercise on the elliptical, around 30 min a day for now, moving up to 1 hour a day in a couple of weeks. Can I expect to start losing in the first couple of weeks? My diet is already not bad, I just need to cut out the snacking at work and I'll be fine. I don't want to have unrealistic expectations, but I just want to get a general idea. How long did it take for you? How much did you lose and how quickly at the beginning (first couple of months)?

When I started out on WW, I also droppped weight pretty fast and it showed on the scale but it took a while to SEE any results in either clothing or by comments from others.
I lost about 20 lbs so far and I see some small results. My rings are a little loser (not that they would fall off or something, just loser). I can also button 2 of my jackets easier than before. But the biggest change of all is more energy. I feel more energetic than I've been in a loooong time.
Of course it feels great seeing a 20 lb drop on the scale. For me it's motivation by itself. And in a short time I am sure I'll start to *see* more results.

My opinion on this is that we are much more critical of ourselves than others are.
