How Long Does It Take To Lose Weight?

If you’re on a weight loss journey, I know how frustrating it can be not knowing when you’ll start seeing results. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, especially for us women over 40 or those going through menopause, but there are some general milestones we can keep in mind.

Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss

First things first, let’s talk about fat loss versus weight loss. The number on the scale can go up and down for many reasons that have nothing to do with fat gain or loss. So, don’t get too caught up in that number. Instead, focus on how your clothes fit, take measurements, and use photos to track your progress. These methods are often much more reliable indicators of your transformation.

What to Expect

Weeks 1-3: You might start noticing inch loss, especially around your waist. This is often the first sign that your efforts are working.

Weeks 3-6: Clothes may start to feel looser. This is a great indicator that you’re shedding fat and gaining muscle.

90 Days (Around 12 Weeks): People around you will begin to notice changes, and you may receive compliments about your transformation. This is often visible in the face and midsection.

6 Months – 1 Year: Achieving a full body transformation takes time. By consistently following your routine, you will see significant changes. Some transformations may even take years, so patience and consistency are key.

Consistency is Key

Consistency is the most important thing in achieving long-term fat loss. It’s crucial to follow a structured routine that includes strength training and a protein-rich diet. If you stick with it for 12 weeks, six months, and beyond, you will see fantastic results.

Remember, this is a journey, you don’t get instant gratification like you see on social media. Stay focused, be patient, and celebrate each milestone along the way.

Achieving your weight loss goals is a journey that requires dedication, the right strategies, and consistent effort.
