How long will it take to notice a difference in my weight?

I am an otherwise healthy 30 year old mother of 2. I have been eating around 1200 calories for 7 days now and just started working out at the YMCA. I go 3-4 times per week, doing lots of cardio on the EFX and treadmill. I just had a hysterectomy, so I can''t really do a whole lot more than just those two pieces of machinery. 2 more weeks, and I''m released 100%. I just wondered for those of you out there who know, how long should it take me to start noticing a change in my body and/or change on the scale? Also -what kind of workout routine works best for someone trying to lose about 50 pounds? Most of my weight is in my belly. I''m tired of getting asked how far along I am! I know everyone is different, but just would like a general idea of everyone who responds. Thanks for reading!

Three Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
This months diet is next months body. What you eat in private you wear in public. That''s what I tell myself. Give it some time. It''s kind of like a delayed reaction. Remember give it:
4 weeks for you to notice
8 weeks for family and friends to notice
12 weeks for the world to notice

• Be realistic in your expectations. Ligaments are severed during hysterectomy, which can cause the pelvis to widen and the rib cage to settle a bit lower. Diet and exercise won''t help that. But you will feel and look better if you eat healthily and keep your body moving. Don''t pull your stomach in, and don''t tuck your butt. You may be doing these things in an effort not to look pregnant. But you are compromising the support for the remaining organs, which used to rely on the round ligaments of the uterus for support. Instead, relax the belly and pull your chest up strongly for a nice stretch. By doing this you will eventually restore a good lower lumbar curve, which will help your hips and spine remain healthy through the years. This will also take organ pressure off the vagina and help delay or prevent the prolapsing of other organs. Be good to yourself!
