In the Forum - When will I see results?

Wednesday May 10, 2006
If you've ever seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, maybe you remember Veruca Salt singing her mantra, 'I want it now!' When it comes to weight loss, we all want it now...in fact, one forum member posted this question after exercising for only four days: "Anyway, any clues as to how long it will be before I see a change in my body or my weight?"

Here's a clue: it will probably take more than four days to see results of any kind. It's so important to have a realistic approach to weight loss. The trouble is, we don't always know what's realistic and what isn't. What do you think? What advice would you give to this forum member who has 30 lbs to lose, but is already discouraged after four days of exercise? Come join the discussion and help an exerciser out.
