Gaining weight is unpredictable the same as losing it. Some people can accumulate so much fat seems like overnight. On the other hand, there are many instances when persons decrease significantly their pounds in relatively short period of time. Reduction of body weight is very dependable aspect and how long it will take for you to lose weight will be defined by a number of multiple factors.
How much weight you need to lose
Some people want to lose just 5 - 10 pounds while others try to melt about 105-110 pounds or even more. Therefore, the more you need to lose the longer this process will take. However, this statement is only partially true. For already pretty much skinny people it is harder to get rid of at least one pound while for overweight individuals it is easier especially from the beginning to cut many pounds relatively fast.
For a person, who weight about 140 pounds and has weight loss goal of 10 pounds, is reasonable to expect to lose about one pound a week for the first month from the beginning of the diet and then gradually reduce it to two pounds and one pound a month. After that you can melt just one pound a quarter of the year.
