In performance, a month? In appearance a few months. When I started dialing in my diet the appearance approved dramatically.

I felt results within a month, but in terms of appearance, I would say that took about 2 months of consistently WODing about 5-6 days a week + eating on a deficit.

Tell me more about this food delivery service?

Performance-wise, I improved my baseline by a minute & 30 seconds in the first six weeks. I am 41. I have no athletic background other than recreational pole dancing, yoga, hiking, and weight machines/dumbbells---super casual and very off and on. I have been Crossfitting for 10 months and started my power cleans at 25 pounds. I now use 95# or 105# in a WOD and can do 135# for singles. I started Rxing many workouts without a lot of gymnastic elements in month 4. I can do about 10 double unders unbroken. Started with knee pushups and can now do 30 regular unbroken. I can do a pistol on my left leg and a handstand pushup, toes to bar, etc. I had never done anything with barbells and I expect to deadlift 300 by Labor Day. I took 3 minutes off my previous year's mountain trail run 5K time in May (month 7). Right now I am usually in the top 5 women in my box if the workout is not pull-up or wall-ball focused (my goat). I feel good about this since most of them are much younger than me.

I have essentially not lost any weight in CF. I have dramatically changed my body comp though. I do supplemental strength training at the gym and in an oly class 4-5 days per week as well. People do stop me a lot and ask me what I've done to change my appearance and they think I've lost a lot of weight. Those who don't know me ask me, "What are you?" because I look like I do something athletic but they don't quite know what it is because they're not accustomed to seeing women with muscles.

My only real problem has been pull ups. I am literally no closer to being able to do pull ups now than when I started, actually maybe less because I came to CF from pole dancing. As the amount of weight I can push lift has increased/my pulling power has not changed. I am reluctant to want to drop my own weight to get pull ups and also to decrease the amount of weight I'm lifting. I've fallen in love with weightlifting and struggle with whether to make power lifting my focus or CF and I am in a great spot for power lifting. I am doing competitions and have to do them all scaled instead of masters or intermediate because I can't do pull ups. I feel like I am cheating a bit though because I can lift so much weight for the scaled category. Oh well, some of them can probably do a lot of pull ups.

Oh my goodness, @kellyemontana - pull ups. I am also no closer after 3 months.

I just started CF but it took me probably a year or more of lifting regularly before I got unassisted pullups. I can do 3 or 4 unbroken chin ups and probably 2 ugly pull ups. I have done a lot of banded pullups and slow negatives (both with and without a band). For females especially chin ups will be easier than pullups but in my experience you need to work on them 3x/week for several months before you'll see much progress. Or you could try a "grease the groove" method where you jump up and do a slow negative 3x every day (if you have a pullup bar at home).
