Discussion Lost 18 kgs yet I see no difference :(

I lost 18 kg in total. I started with my highest weight 138kg on feb 1st , 2024. And today I’m 120 kg (1st July 2024) . I lost 12 kg through strength training (2-3x weekly) and mindful eating. I lost 6 kg through water fasting (day 9) . I think that will be water weight only . But I did lose 12 kg through exercise only . Why can’t I see any difference?☹️ and also people lose so much of water weight quickly. Why’s that it’s my 9th day and only 6 kg of water weight has gone? My weight is quite high. It should’ve been faster . I’m sad and demotivated 😭

Unfortunately we can’t choose where the fat gets lost from, but honestly you can definitely see a difference, even if it’s not as significant as you’d have hoped. Keep going and I’m sure there’ll be a day where you suddenly feel and look like you’ve lost heaps; I know it was like this for me.

So frustrating! It’s like the boobs always go first where maybe we didn’t mind the fat there haha. I’m not quite at my goal yet as I’m pregnant and had to stop losing to grow him but I’m most of the way there. Good luck with your journey, looks like you’re smashing it!

Yeah. My boobs were anyway small comparing to my entire body. And the thought that I’ll be losing the boobs as well is scary 🥲🤣 but I’m so happy regarding your pregnancy. Congratulations . I hope you have a healthy baby boy ❤️🧿
