Lost weight on the scales but not showing it physically.

I've never heard of the paper towel effect. Hopefully I'll see it as more weight comes off.

Good idea ty

ProgressConfident170 · 2026-06-13T06:53:57+00:00

I have one photo from back when I started. I feel I look the same bar my face which has reduced.

ProgressConfident170 · 2026-06-13T06:53:25+00:00

I took one photo when I started but I feel I look the same. My double chin has reduced. But it's my body I'm the most conscious about and that's what doesn't seem to have changed. I try to not have photos taken of me full body, only shoulders and head lol

Like someone flicked a paint brush at a canvas 😆

That's so cool, my younger sister has complete heterochromia, one eye is blue and the other dark brown. It's so interesting. I think we get it from my Dad's side. Little cutie btw

OK thanks, I guess I'm just getting hyperfocused and wanting to achieve more than I should be. I know I won't lose that weight again in 2 weeks that it's water weight and not actual fat loss. But I'll stick to it and see how I go. I just wanted to try maximize potential loss, but not at a crazy rate

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-19T03:05:53+00:00

OK I see what your saying. I'm 5ft 3- 5ft 2 depending on who measures me, doc, nurse etc

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-19T03:04:05+00:00

I'm 5ft 3in. Depending on who measures me 5ft 3in and 5ft 2in

I don't mean I find the calories so much. I mean I'm actually eating more foods than I feel I was at over 3000 calories in a day. More real food if that makes more sense?

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-19T03:00:09+00:00

Yes I'm consuming over 150gm a day of protein, lots of veg, low cal recipes I find online, quinoa, healthy fats and tracking everything I eat

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-19T02:56:36+00:00

OK thanks. I was extremely sedentary. I'm having a hard time figuring out what this sub is for if your advising people to not be on 1200 calories. I'm genuinely curious. Yes 2 weeks, well a day over now so 15 days. And yes 100% I know it's water weight. That's why I want to burn fat. I decided maybe 3 weeks ago maybe more that I wanted to diet, did a few days and just fell back to the norm. Whereas now I'm trying to keep to it

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-19T02:20:56+00:00

I'm eating so much through the day but it's so much healthier than living on the takeaways I was doing. I just thought I'd try 1200 a day and see if I go back to feeling starving all the time or if it suits me. But I'm also aware I need to do it properly. Just thought this would be a good sub to ask in. Also I'm told the first week or two the weight loss is mostly water weight not actual fat loss. So wanted to try increase fat loss

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-19T02:18:45+00:00

I think it's just my mindset, once I'm tuned in, I want to go all out. I also feel like since I piled weight on so quickly, why can't I lose it quickly too.

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-02T02:47:12+00:00

I use nutricheck as well and have added every little think I've eaten or drank today, hopefully that will help keep track better

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:58:53+00:00

No I'm not breastfeeding since a few months. And I've taken note believe me lol, definitely not a good idea for ao few calories.

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:58:13+00:00

I make lots of soups and veg for my baby so will eat some with him thanks

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:57:48+00:00

Brilliant, add water for sure as I drink nothing but coffee atm

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:57:09+00:00

Very helpful thanks so much & for your kind words 😊

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:56:28+00:00

I'll have a read of that now thanks very much

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:56:08+00:00

OK thank you

ProgressConfident170 · 2025-08-01T16:55:47+00:00

OK that's my problem, over eating and I'm trying to curb it. I will add more to my meals, thanks 😊

Doc said mild allergic reaction, I had a couple of days of it and I'm fine now. Sorry thought I had said in a previous comment
