    Congrats on starting your new journey! Results will definitely vary from person to person, and a lot depends on how consistent you are. Remember, weightloss/getting in shape is a lifestyle change...so if you work out and eat better for two weeks, and then go back to eating how you were and not working out...you're very likely to gain it back! But if you stick with it, you will start seeing changes very quickly. I use the Golds Gym App...and it has a "flipbook" on it, where you can take pics of yourself and create a flipbook! it really helps in seeing changes! Good luck :)

    In my estimation, after you lose about 10% of your body weight you should see some results :) so, for 210 lbs you will see some results when you lose 21 lbs. I started at 286 and it was right there around the 30 lb mark that people started to notice

    3 days? girl give it time.

    i didnt start seeing changes in the mirror or in my clothes until i lose 20 pounds. i started off as 224 so that falls in the 10% loss bradphil mentioned.

    before that though, i noticed all kinds of health and fitness related results like no longer getting feet swelling, lessened sleep apnea, walk up steps to my apartment without wanting to pass out..

    I would say about 10% weight loss.
