Author Message It's me. Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 12:03 pm    Post subject: How long would it take? I want to know how long it will take for me to notice a change in my muscle tone, and slimming in my waistline. I'm working out 3-4 days a week- about 20 minutes on weights. I'm also doing interval training on the treadmill, and road cycling (only for about 20 minutes, my butt's not used to the new bike seat yet!). I have cut out almost all sugar and I've already noticed a drop in my weight a little bit. How long will it take for me to notice a difference? Should I be documenting weight and measurements daily?

Your matabalism is important too!

I work out for at least an hour on weights, and treadmill for a good half hour.Also your diet will help depending on your daily calorie intake.

Back to top kitkatkaty1214 Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 12:10 pm    Post subject: well..i think there is a differt timing for everyone.. but the way my sister does it is... you check your weight evry morning without dressing up the second you gets up...jot it down in a journal or some paper...and then you can see the average weight you lose evry day (ex. mon-5 tues-5 wed-4.5) so the rate would be .5 evry two days or something.. and then know what weight you are aiming for so you can estimate how long it would take --Hope this helps you BD Back to top mynavym0m Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 12:12 pm    Post subject: Put on a pair of jeans that were tight before you started. Check each week and you'll notice. If you measured yourself (neck, chest, waist, hips, thighs, calves, upper arms) before you started or do it now, check in a month and you'll definately notice a difference. Don't depend on a scale, especially if you are building muscle and reducing fat. Back to top Ranger Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 12:14 pm    Post subject: Don't document daily. That will probably have adverse effects on your mental determination. Because daily progress adds up over time you should think about documenting every two or three weeks. This way the changes are more noticeable and by far more motivating. If you keep at it regularly, it will probably take three or four weeks before you start to notice a real difference from where you started in muscle tone and maybe a little longer in waistline.
