    Your profile says you have 50lbs to lose. Settle in for the long haul!
    If you're eating within your set calories, you'll probably see a loss within the first week. In fact the biggest loss tends to be in the first couple of weeks when you'll shed water weight. After that it will settle down to 1-2lbs a week, depending on how you've set up your deficit.
    Be patient and good luck!

    I just started last Tuesday. I plan on checking in every Tuesday and I exercise 6 days a week at 45 minutes. I know I'm in the long haul and don't feel it's important to check every 2-3 days

    I noticed physical changes after 1 week. They weren't really noticeable to anyone else, but I could feel differences in my body pretty early on like my thighs don't rub as much, and my stomach doesn't stick out like it used to. Everyone is different in terms of rate of loss and when it looks visually noticeable though

    That is true on so many levels i just posted something like that yesterday. I feel and see slim looking in the mirror and so happy like yes girl u can do this and then i take a picture its like i was looking in a trick mirror and or i step on the scale every day and the numbers dont move. I felt or thought i saw that my thighs werent rubbing as much and my stomach wasnt sticking out that much. But that picture just makes u want to give up and that dang on scale.

    Definitely take before pictures. Every time I feel I'm not making progress I look at my before pictures and I'm like "Daymn, I sure don't want to go back to that"


    Also, If you have a lot to lose, you'll feel like you're not making much progress. But if you're down to the last 15 or so pounds, you'll start to see changes in your body quicker.

    I try not to weigh more than once a week so that I don't get too fixated on the number. Try to be patient, it will happen but it takes time. Just think of it this way, it may take 6 months or more to lose it but you'll go through those 6 months regardless, it's just a matter of whether you are spending them moving toward your goal or away from it.

    I just finished my first week. I agree that the first week I have noticed a few changes but nothing big. The biggest change is my loss of appetite. It seems like it is getting easier for me to keep my calorie count down.

    Lol down to last 15. Im waiting for the first pound. Gosh its so hard. Today i was packing my lunch bag and i logged everything in my kitchen to see what tge the numbers will be. I almost couldnt eat nothing either to much salt,fat, or carbs. What do people eat all day. I drive a shuttle bus so has to be some type of finger foods

    I'd say it depends on what you're doing, to be honest. I just started week three of LiveFit and was looking at my "before" picture (taken a week before I started the workouts- I took a week to get used to the new food plan before jumping in) in absolute shock. The scale says I've lost about three pounds in that time, but I've lost inches all over. My husband couldn't believe the difference in one month, in terms of overall size and definition. I eat about 1650-1800 calories a week.

    If you're just cutting back on calories, how fast you see results is going to depend on how much you're taking in and how big your deficit is. If you're also working out, it's going to largely depend on what you burn. Even then, it's hard to say when you'll see results because people carry weight in different ways. Like, for me, if I gain weight, the first place you see it is in my face. When I lose weight, you notice it fairly quickly because you can see my cheekbones again- but you might not notice it in the rest of my body right away.

    There are just so many potential variables to consider- including things that are unique to you as a person.
