Summary: Weight loss time constraints are dependent on the individual, and it's important to remember that someone who has retained a lot of water will lose more weight initially than someone who has not.

"Hi I'm Ashleigh Gass, Strength and Conditioning Specialist with brilliantathlete.com. Just how fast should you lose weight. Well the answer to this is really dependent on every individual because everyone is different. Someone coming into a strength training and a body fat loss program that is retaining a lot of water is going to lose more initially than someone who is coming in not retaining as much water and that is just one variation but generally what I look for in my clients when I start them with strength training, injury prevention training and nutrition is anywhere from about a 1 to 2 pound loss on a weekly basis. Any more than this number one, it is not usually sustainable and number two usually they are losing the wrong tissues. I don't want clients losing muscle tissue I want them to lose body fat and when you are in the game to lose body fat it takes a little bit longer but you will lose it in a way that it will stay off and you will learn what habits are necessary to follow in your training and nutrition on a daily and weekly basis in order to really keep it off. So there isn't a black and white answer to how fast someone should be losing weight but I teach a rule of thumb that one to two pounds weekly at least for an initial time period until body fat levels and appropriate body weight are reached and then at that point we just look at maintaining healthy body weight and of course increasing muscle mass which can even add certain amounts of body weight to someone's frame. So it is an individual question but once you clean up your diet and you start strength training you might be looking at one to two pounds a week. Thanks I'm Ashleigh Gass with brilliantathlete.com."
