How Long Does Postpartum Fat Loss Really Take? A Realistic Timeline for Moms

About this episode

In this episode, Link DeShong discusses the realistic timeline for postpartum fat loss and emphasizes the importance of consistency over comparison.

Lost only 2 pounds this month while someone else dropped 15? Here's why that's actually a good thing . In this episode, I'm breaking down why sustainable fat loss isn't a race and why comparing your journey to someone else's will only hold you back. I share my own current fat loss phase, walk you through the 3-phase framework I use with my 1:1 coaching clients in Elevated Evolution (Rebuild, Reignite, Redefine), and explain why everyone's timeline looks different based on their starting point, lifestyle, and unique circumstances. If you've ever felt "behind" or frustrated by slow progress, this episode is your reminder that consistency beats speed every time. Let's ditch the all-or-nothing approach and focus on what actually works for YOUR body and YOUR life.
