When people start to exercise to lose weight, it may take about 6 weeks to see the weight change. And six weeks ago, you may have felt the change of your body shape when you were wearing clothes. Why is this? Because in the first few weeks of exercise, you will lose some fat, but at the same time your muscles are also increasing. If you do strength exercises or resistance exercises, your muscle mass, including muscle content, will increase faster. Therefore, when the density of muscle fiber increases, the content of muscle increases accordingly, and our weight is also increasing.

At the same weight, the volume of muscle is smaller than that of fat. Generally, the volume ratio of muscle to fat is at least 1: 3. Therefore, before you lose weight, your waist and abdomen may be reduced by a few centimeters. After you have been exercising for about 4 weeks, when your body adapts to strength exercises or resistance exercises, the quality of muscles, including the growth rate of muscles, will slow down, and then the pointer on the weighing scale will slowly move down. On this basis, it will lose1-2kg per week on average. So this is your happiest time.

If you want to see tangible results, I suggest that you'd better record your progress in losing weight and try to measure your waist and abdomen with a tape measure instead of weighing scale.

It is best to record the changes of waist and abdomen circumference, arm circumference, chest circumference and thigh circumference every week. When these numbers gradually decrease, you will maintain a stronger fighting spirit, even if your weight has not changed for the time being. Another thing to tell you is that losing weight by exercise should be a gradual process, and you must never lose excess fat in a week or two. Because excessive weight loss is not conducive to sustained weight loss in the later period, and it is not conducive to your own health.
