How Long 'Till I See a Change?

Question

Hi! I'm a girl and weigh...okay, a lot. :P

I have been using a treadmill since last Tuesday (tommorow it will be a week), 30 minutes a day and about two miles every time. I sweat a lot, btw.

I know it'll be quite a while before I see a difference, if at all. Before I started anything I did that was physical was four and a half hours of martial arts a week. No P.E. or anything. I'm still continuing that and have started on the treadmill.

How long it will be before I see some difference? I already feel a whole lot better (no sluggish-ness), though. How many months would it take to see some difference? Even the thirty minute thing is pretty hard for me so I wouldn't be increasing the time for a while, just to get used to the whole thing.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Two months is about the length of time that you should see results. Dont give up it will happen. Dont weigh yourself either. It will only make you want to give up. just keep up what your doing and you will start feeling the difference.

Answer 2

drink lots of water. reduce your fat intake. increase your protein intake. exercise (low intensity) for about an hour a day.

3500 Calories in a pound of fat.

Take your weight...say 200 ....add a zero to the end -- 2000

2000= steady state(calories your would normally burn during a regular non active day)

say you burn 600 calories working out and you eat 1400 during the day.

That means you used 1000 calories that day. After 2 1/2 days you lost a REAL pound..... 2-3 pounds a week is LEGIT and the safest way for the pounds to stay off.

...learn to be moderate ith your food consumption.

"SATISFY THE TASTE, NOT THE HUNGER"

FYI, I did all of the above and lost 45 pounds. It has not come back!

well about 3 months and you should see a big difference. keep up the good work. look for it in the way your pants fit not in the scale
