Answer

depends, and depends a lot on who you were when you started. I was obscenely fat and a tall man, and once I stopped gorging myself every day, i started to see immediate results, fat falling off.

Answer

I am only 4 weeks in, but I’ve been told to just commit to doing it for 1-2 months before even looking at whatever indicators I am using to measure success. I don’t always do that, the scale is too tempting, but I am trying not to put any stock into the number on the scale until I’ve been doing this for longer.

Answer

Unfortunately for some it takes a while for the scale to budge. Shy of a thyroid issue if you stick to your calorie limit and keep working out you’ll see results, but it may take 1-2 months as MSH cautioned.

How do I know? I asked for thyroid tests because I was certain I should be dropping weight. The doctor complied, while looking knowing. Results were fine, and I saw weight loss later.

Keep it up; you’re likely to be rewarded with a whoosh later!
