how much weight to lose in a month
Hereâs what you can realistically expect to lose if youâre just starting a weight loss plan: The more weight you have to lose, the more you will initially lose. If you are 100 pounds overweight, youâll probably lose up to 20 pounds in your first month. This is simply because you have more bodyweight to lose. That and youâre going to lose a lot of water weight. But if you are already pretty lean and have 10 pounds to lose, you might only lose 1-2 pounds in a month. Most people will lose 1-2 pounds per week. Note how I said just said âpounds.â. This isnât pure body fat. The first week you will more lose more water, then it tapers off to 1-2 pounds per week.
