what happens to your body when you lose weight
When you’ve got pounds to spare, shedding them improves many aspects of your physical health and well-being.
| |
|
Weight .loss can lead to changes in your personal life, mental health, your senses, and more. If you’re looking to lose some weight, want to lose more, or have just lost a lot and want to keep it off, check out some of the lesser-known rewards and other changes that come when those pounds drop off.
Here are a few research-backed Q & As we found through Google Snippets and thought they'd be the most Newsletter-worthy and answers to a lot of questions we all have somewhere along our journey.
| |
here are 8 super sensational snippets ... | |
|
0/1 how will your body feel when you lose weight
Losing weight with exercise and the right food plan will lead to a better balance of good and bad cholesterol levels, fight hypertension, and improve heart and lung function. In fact, once the body's metabolism improves, hormonal balance is restored, insulin uptake is better and in turn, the risk of diabetes decreases.
| | |
|
|
0/2 what part of the body loses fat first
Initially, losing weight is an internal process. You will first lose hard fat that surrounds your organs like your liver and kidneys; and then you will start to lose soft fat like waistline and thigh fat. The fat loss from around the organs makes you leaner and stronger.
| |
|
0/3 what does losing 20lbs do for the body
Losing 20 pounds, even if it's as little as 5-10% of your body weight, can reduce obesity-related risks, and not only that, but losing 20 pounds can also help your overall quality of life, increase your mood, improve your lung function, and reduce blood sugar levels. Wait until you try the stairs!

0/4 where does fat go after it leaves the body
The fat, which becomes water, mixes into your circulation until it's lost as urine, tears, sweat and other bodily fluids. Therefore, exercise is an integral part of weight loss since your body disposes of fat through sweat, urine, and exhaled air.
| |
|
0/5 how much will you need to lose to notice it
The CDC recommends that you need to lose around 5-10% of your total body weight to notice changes.
For instance, if you weigh 170 pounds, you need to lose roughly 8.3-17 pounds to notice a difference.
| |
|
0/6 can you really lose weight overnight
People often weigh less in the morning because they lose water throughout the night as they breathe and sweat. That said, individuals do burn calories during the night. The loss of water weight is more significant than the loss of fat.
| |
|
0/7 how much do we sleep off
How much weight do you lose overnight? Between 1 to 4 pounds. As you sleep, your body burns calories, causing you to lose weight. People often weigh less in the morning because they lose water throughout the night as they breathe and sweat. Individuals do burn calories during the night. But, the loss of water weight is more significant than the loss of fat.
| |
|
0/8 how does water weight affect body fat
By increasing the amount of water in your body, you're effectively increasing your lean tissue amount – and decreasing your body fat percentage. The fat tissue numbers are also changed slightly as water is dispersed throughout the body over the course of an hour, changing the average tissue density. Bottom line, the two work hand in hand. Stay hydrated.

"The Weight Watchers Program
is for people who want to lose weight
No diet. No deprivation. No kidding!"
–DebW

Dear WW Philadelphia Member,
When losing weight, there is so much more going on with our bodies than just the number on the scale.
The last time I joined Weight Watchers (back in the day) there was a place on the Week 1 Materials where we were to enter measurements of different parts of our bodies; upper arms, neck, calves, thighs, and of course, the obligatory chest, waist, and hips.
We were encouraged to jot down these numbers and use them in the future. After all, inches off is what we all truly wanted. The number on the scale was private. The inches lost was what everyone saw.
I was HORRIFIED 😧 by the thought of placing a measuring tape around my waist. I didn’t want to know the number and I couldn’t bring myself to do it. So, I measured my thigh, and I wrote the number down on the corresponding line.
One year later and 94 pounds down, my waist was smaller than my thigh had been when I started. I was really excited!
This measuring practice is no longer part of the Weight Watchers program. We don't take measurements and weigh ins are optional. The program is confidential and your safe space 🤗 But, I tell this story because I want you to know it is okay to be uncomfortable about measuring tapes and even scales. These items are simply tools that we use to “kind of” measure our weight-loss success.
Think about it. Every change we notice is a measure of success! The belt that was being used on the last notch and now needs a new hole to tighten; the clothes in the storage closest we were keeping for some reason 🤔 (even though they may be considered vintage now, they FIT!); the unaccustomed comfort in the seat at a venue.
All the little things that change that we hardly notice, are building up to the big things that WOW us. I remember one day while bending over and tying my shoes, I DID NOTICE I could breathe and tie my shoes at the same time. And here's a weird thing of about that, I saw that I tied my shoes in the center instead of to the side because I CAN bend over!
Losing weight may seem like a slow process, and in many ways it is. It takes as long as it takes but the health strides and the subtle changes like shoe tying make every Point counted worth it.
Consider keeping a little journal or notebook someplace where you can jot down some measurements or other metrics that you’ll be able to compare later. I’ve even met Members who have lost a shoe size, so don't be surprised! And, this is your private log--for your eyes only.
Take care my WW friend,
