When does weight loss start to show?
I've been working out regularly and watching my diet for about a month. I feel better in my clothes, but I'm curious. When does weight loss usually start to show visibly to others?

For me, with PCOS, weight loss is always a slow battle. But even small changes, like better energy or clearer skin, are victories. Don't just look at the scale; notice how your clothes fit or how you feel. Be patient with your body.
Haha, I swear my body waits till I've almost given up before showing any results. Sleep deprivation makes everything harder, including weight loss. But generally, after losing a few kilos, friends or family might start noticing, or your old jeans fit better. Patience, my friend, patience!
My doctor explained that visible weight loss usually begins after you've shed about 5-10% of your body weight. For someone around 70-80kg, this could be 3.5-8kg. But internal health benefits, like improved blood pressure or sugar levels, can happen much sooner. It's a gradual process.
It's totally normal to feel anxious about not seeing results immediately. I used to obsess over the scale too. But actually, people often start noticing around the 5-7kg mark, especially if it's sustained. Focus on feeling better, not just looking different.
Didi, don't worry too much. When you start eating healthy and walking a bit, soon you will feel lighter. Maybe your bangles will feel loose, or your chudidar will fit better. Others will also notice and say 'arre, patle ho gaye!' Be consistent, that's important.

When I was trying to manage my BP, I noticed changes in my energy levels and how I felt overall before it was very visible. Stick to healthy food and regular, mild exercise. Don't forget your regular checkups; your doctor can track progress accurately, not just by what you see.
Depends on your body, but usually after a few kgs. Your clothes will tell you first!
