What does good progress look like?

Brian’s advice on measuring progress when starting your fitness journey centers around 3 key factors:

1. Starting Point:

Progress should be evaluated relative to your starting point. Larger individuals may aim for 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week, while smaller individuals may see success with 1/4 to 1/2 a pound (females) or 1/2 to 1 pound (males) of weight loss weekly.

2. Looking Beyond the Scale:

Don’t solely focus on the number on the scale. Consider other metrics like progress photos, inBody scans, or Dexa scans to accurately track changes. Even if a traditional scale doesn’t show changes, utilizing these methods can reveal positive progress.

3. Lifestyle Consideration:

Your lifestyle plays a crucial role. Even with limited workout opportunities due to a busy schedule, progress is still achievable, but will likely be more gradual. Just understand that your results might differ from someone whose life is centered around fitness.

Achieving a fat loss of 1/4 to 1 pound per week is exceptional progress, though it can sometimes feel discouraging.
Consistency is key, and as long as you stay committed, results will accumulate over time.
