Understanding Your Weight Loss Timeline
Weight loss is not linear. Our calculator accounts for metabolic adaptation - the phenomenon where your metabolism slows as you lose weight. This provides more realistic expectations than simple calorie math.
Why Weight Loss Slows
- • Less body weight = fewer calories burned at rest
- • Adaptive thermogenesis reduces metabolic rate
- • Increased movement efficiency burns fewer calories
- • Water weight fluctuations mask true progress
Staying on Track
- • Recalculate your calorie target every 10 lbs lost
- • Focus on weekly averages, not daily fluctuations
- • Take measurements alongside scale weight
- • Adjust activity levels as fitness improves
