Down 40 lbs as of this morning and I had to share it somewhere that gets it, week 4 in, and I finally believe this is working.
General
NSV of the day - drop yours
What got me was the day I realized I could cross my legs without thinking about it. That clicked harder than any number.
Forty pounds in four weeks is wild. I'm in sacramento too and my saxenda script took almost a week to land at the pharmacy, did yours go through right away?
The click moment for me was tying my shoes without holding my breath, not a scale number. Did the 40 come mostly from appetite stuff or were you already active before starting?
My click moment came when I realized I'd stopped mentally cataloging every bite at meals, and that quiet felt strange for a couple days. Still catches me off guard sometimes.
The food noise thing is the one I notice most too, went to the store yesterday and walked past the chips aisle without even slowing down. Didn't clock it until I was in the car.
What got me was the quiet, not the number. One day the fridge just stopped calling my name and I sat there kind of weirded out by it
I hit 40 down a while back and the weirdest part was how quiet my head got around food
Waiting for the other shoe to drop is exactly where i lived for the first couple months. Did the belief part come all at once for you or creep up slowly?
What was the thing that flipped you from hoping to actually believing it? Mine was just being able to walk up my stairs without stopping halfway.
What finally flipped the belief switch for you? I'm still at the stage where I step on the scale twice to make sure it isn't lying.
Week 4 is quick to hit that headspace. I'm only a couple pounds in myself and still waiting for the switch to flip, so hearing it landed for you this early is useful.
What finally flipped the believing part for me was a pair of jeans that used to leave marks, not the scale. Curious if you had a moment like that or if it was just the number this morning
The belief part is what I remember most from early on, the number was almost secondary. My pace has been slower than yours but that switch in my head still happened
honestly, 40 by week 4 is a pace I can only dream about, I'm at 12 and already calling it a win.
That week 4 belief shift hit me around the same point, and the weird part was how ordinary the day felt. Mine was finally zipping a jacket that hadn't closed since before covid
Forty down is huge, and that shift from hoping to actually believing it is the part nobody warns you about. I'm about five pounds behind you and still waiting on my own week 4 moment
Twenty was my belief number, not forty. Something about crossing it made the whole thing feel less like a gamble.
What was the NSV though, the number or something that happened in real life? I hit my belief moment way later than week 4 and im curious what flipped it for you
40 was around where my brain stopped bracing for the other shoe to drop. Curious whether the number mattered or just the weeks stacking up for you
