7 lbs is where I'm sitting too, and honestly the belief part hasn't hit me yet. Still waiting for the other shoe.
NSV of the day - drop yours
The food noise going quiet is the part I noticed first too, way before the scale moved. What week are you in?
40 down is real. What flipped it for me was clothes fitting different before the scale moved much, that was the first time it felt like more than water weight
What got you to that belief moment? For me it was a pair of jeans I'd stopped bothering to try on
We're basically twins then, I crossed 40 a couple weeks back. The believing part snuck up on me too, one day I just stopped bracing for the scale to betray me
I'm only about 2 lbs in so I'm nowhere near that believing phase yet. What tipped it for you, the scale or something else?
the believing phase is the part nobody warns you about. Mine took way longer than the scale did.
The belief part is the bit that got me too, took me a lot longer than four weeks to trust it though. What changed for you that made it click?
Mine took way longer to feel real. I was around seventy-something down before my head caught up to what the mirror was showing, so week 4 is fast
The mental click hit me way later than week 4, honestly it took a stall and then a whoosh for my brain to catch up to what the scale already knew
40 down in week 4 is wild. I'm only 8 in and still in the hoping phase, so this is good to hear.
I'm around your starting point too, so the hoping stage is where I'm living. Curious whether week 4 felt different from week 1 for you, like did the appetite stuff change at all?
