Is it possible to see work out results this quickly?

[iPood]

I've been working out a lot more since the new year. I try to run at least 5 times a week, and I also do some other stuff but not as regularly. I wasn't much overweight to start with, but I wanted to tone up and lose a couple inches.

I looked at myself in the mirror today, and I seem to look a bit smaller already. My thighs especially look slimmer and my stomach is flatter. Is it possible to see changes like that in less than 3 weeks? I checked the scale and I've lost about 5 pounds.

Is it possible to be seeing a difference so soon or am I imagining it?

yes of course. people can lose 2-3 pounds a week and especially if you just need to tone, you see results decently quickly. some people hit a standstill though because they do the same workout all the time and their body gets used to it so if you mix it up you won't have that problem. also get lots of protein and but out simple carbohydrates from your diet and your progress should just excel. great job and good luck!

Yup, definitely. I would expect you to see some changes in 3 weeks. It just means you're doing it right. Also, as long as you're eating enough and getting all the nutrients you need as well as staying hydrated then you're fine.

Yes, it's possible. When your diet is perfect and you are consistent with intense cardio, your body has nowhere else to get that extra source of energy other than fat.

The first few weeks are always crucial. Keep it up. (Unless you are losing muscle, in that case eat more protein).

No, you can see results within a few days, things will firm up quickly, you'll fit into clothes easier!

Congratulations! But 5 lbs, chances are half of that is water weight, but still...you're on the right track!

If you've been working hard since new years it's definitely possible to lose 2-3 pounds of pure fat per week, so yes, dedicated effort will see you results by now.

Yeah its possible... I lost 3pounds last week and I've been doing loads of gym/zumba/sit ups etc... and my tummy feels a lot flatter :D x

[MissAndee]

Yes, you will notice before the scale notices. The scale moves slowly however how your clothes don't lie.

[Rafael151]

Absolutely. You can easily see and feel a difference in just a couple weeks. Of course it depends some on where you are starting from.

[Longshot]

Very possible, but you may not see the same results every week. You are off to a great start.

[kheserthorpe]

Yes, you can see 5 lbs.
