Depends on how rigorously you stick to it, really. I'd give it at least a month to see any significant change in weight, but you probably won't see a physical change for at least two, maybe even three.

if you keep it up on a regular basis, after a couple of weeks. but i suggest that you don't try to rush it, that way you might have a larger chance of keeping your new weight. i know it is a bit of a cliché but it is true nonetheless.

A long time, it wont happen in a month, but that depends how overweight you are, it can take many months for noticible changes to occur, and that is if you stick to ure regime strickly.

It depends.

What does your diet consist of and what's your gym routine?

I was exactly the same height and weight as you 18 months ago and I lost a stone and a half by eating sensibly and exercising in three months, the weight has all stayed off for the past fifteen months. My greatest tip for weight loss is-only drink water! it is so easy to have an extra 300-400 cals without realising it by having a few glasses of juice!

Not always. I gained muscle but I lost weight.

I'm a girl, I've done a similar thing. Gym consisted of lots of cardio and then weights to tone up muscle. Didn't actually build that much muscle mass cos I was just doing it for tone, but I still lost weight. I find I can lose weight a little too easily though and have to watch it cos there's not that much I can safely lose.

I reckon you should see good improvements in a month, but you may see subtle changes after a couple of weeks, such as more stamina and energy.
