Q&A: What Is a Realistic Time Frame for Weight Loss Results?
Question by adacrya: What Is a Realistic Time Frame for Weight Loss Results?
I have just recently joined a gym and I have met with a personal trainer, whom I will be seeing every two weeks. I am looking at losing 25-30 pounds and gaining some muscle mass. I have also minimized my portions and cut back my daily calorie intake. If I am weight training 3x a week, doing cardio 4x a week for a minimum of 30 minutes and doing gentle yoga once a week what would be a realistic time line for me to see results?

You will lose a large portion of your weight in the first few weeks. Mostly water weight. As time goes by the rate in which you lose weight will slow down.
Its reasonable to lose 2 pounds per week with your routine.
Now this is a sensible approach. Nice work. Keep that plan up and you should lose 1-2 pounds per week which will bring you to your goal of 30 pounds in 15 weeks or 4 months.
Just remember, every week that you throw some cheat meals in there or skip workouts…you won’t lose the weight for that week. So stick to it…it is gradual but it will happen and once it does it becomes so easy to keep it off with only half the effort it took to lose it.
Good luck!
