It depends on the weight loss program you choose. Ask your doctor what a healthy weight for you should be, and set that as your target.

Talk with your doctor before you choose a weight loss program. They may be able to advise you on the types of program that could work for you, and which ones you should avoid. When choosing a weight loss program, it’s important to find one that doesn’t promise instant results; instead it should be aiming to help you achieve weight loss safely over the course of several months. The program should promote healthy lifestyle behaviours you can stick to so you can maintain a healthy weight long-term.

The best weight loss programs focus on achieving your weight loss goal and sustaining a healthy weight for the foreseeable future. This helps reduce your body’s fat, and can normalise blood sugar levels, and improve your cardiovascular and overall health, helping you live a longer, healthier, and fulfilling life.

Many weight loss programs only focus on short-term weight loss. In order to keep any weight you lose off, take care to choose a program that includes long-term weight maintenance.
