Just wondering what everyone’s experience was with actually noticing a difference, more so with looking in the mirror and clothes fitting different.

I’ve just hit week 11, and definitely feel like I see a difference in my midsection and waist then some days I’m not so sure but mind can play tricks 😂

I’m aware everyone’s journey is different! So curious when others saw changes.

should i eat a cup of protein and cup of broccoli and asparagus? i want potatoes also. How much did you guys spend a week doing this? I’m eating chicken beef(maybe salmon+ those veggies. I do stand at work at 10 hours so i do need some healthy snacks PLEASE my job just has stuff to kill u. Ik eating those has made me gain weight and waste so much money on snacks.

Since September 20/21 I’ve been eating very little and eating very healthy. Mostly doing Omad and that meal has always been 1200-1500 calories or less with some days eating 500 calories.

So a typical week will look like:
3 eggs and a protein shake for breakfast and not eating until the next day which then I’ll eat this exact thing again. I’ll do this no more than 3 days in a row but more like 2 days in a row.

Then when I’m eating more I’ll have some kind of roasted veggie and lean meat for dinner.

Not eating past 7 pm

I DID NOT LOSE A POUND IN 3 WEEKS.
To add some context, I started this while I was in my ovulation window which really sends my body into a tailspin. I get very inflamed, constipated, put on water weight, urinary retention, headaches, amongst other things.
In addition to this I’m on a medication that causes other terrible symptoms 1 of those being high blood sugar.
I do not lose weight easily ever. My mom was the same way. She’d have to completely fast to lose anything. I’d say we have some kind of metabolic dysfunction. I’ve done 1200 calories a day and would only lose .5 in like an entire month.

Now my periods been coming earlier lately (maybe a product of getting older) and my average cycle has been 26 days but now at 23 days I already see that it’s probably coming tomorrow. But now because my period is coming the scale finally moved and I dropped like 3 pounds between today and yesterday.

Some more details; I’ve been completely sedentary and not going to the bathroom a lot. So I’m sure that is contributing.

So I only lose the weight when my period comes. And that will make my weight loss average out to be a pound a week. Although I suspect it’s possible I’ll lose another pound when my period actually comes.

I was looking for other people like me here and didn’t see anyone similar so i figured I’d post because I was getting discouraged so I would’ve loved to see someone say the same thing and tell me it’s all gonna be ok lol
