The math
Weeks to goal = (current weight − goal weight) ÷ weekly pace. At 0.5 kg/week, losing 10 kg takes about 20 weeks (roughly 4.5 months).
Tips to actually get there
- Pick a pace you can hold for months, not weeks
- Weigh yourself the same time each day, average weekly
- Strength train 2–4× per week to keep muscle
- Plan a maintenance break every 8–12 weeks
