Rapid weight loss for last 1.5 months

Hi thier i am 28 female, starting weight was 252 pounds current weight is 218 pounds. Since january 28th i started a 1500 calorie diet and i mean it varying day to day between a low of 1200 calories to 1500 hundred with about 1 cheat day a week above 2500 calories about once a week as a cheat day.

But i am starting to get concerned since my weight loss hadn't slowed down much at all since the first week. I essentially been loseing the same amount of weight of about 5 pounds per week since i started. I also want to not i am not physically active, i use a cane and walker and never generally walk more than a mile a day.

Should i be concerned about this or just keep an eye on it? Alot of my friend have notice the rapid weight lost to and have made concerned comments. But the last time i saw my doctor 3 weeks ago they didnt seem concerned at all.

Did your weight loss progress surprise you at any given point?

I was 74kg and now 60 as a 155cm gal. Definitely lost weight and it’s visible especially in photos, not that I took too many. Mirror, well, different story altogether. When I picture myself I can definitely see that I did a but, but ultimately I looked the same. It’s hard to explain.

I just had my period and during period I always avoid mirrors. Hard pass! Most of my clothes is roomy, stretchy and basically hides my body. I can kinda see it falls a bit differently but that’s it. And I don’t have lot of clothes, I used to be 55kg few years ago and gained almost 20kg and that made me not wanna go and buy clothes at all. It was hard seeing bigger me and working from home there wasn’t any need. That extra weight really hurt my self esteem too.

Anyyyyways. It just so happened most of my everyday clothes was dirty and so I wore something different. Tight clothes, not like super tight but you can clearly see my actual body. Went in front of mirror and then it happened! It was like all my hard work paid off at once! I look different! I wouldn’t even mind it too much if I stayed this weight! I look kinda good???? My legs aren’t drumsticks, there is waist, my butt is a bit more lifted (well that’s cuz of gym I suppose but still!), and my face too!

I feel like I went somewhere away and came back, it’s me! Just a tiny bit older! I am sooo surprised that I cannot stop looking at myself. It feels so weird!

But how can it be? Like I was looking at mirror quite frequently, searching for progress be it clothed or naked and I could see it, but only a little bit. I even thought because I am few years older now I would need to reach 50kg to look the way I looked at 55kg. But now I see it! And it’s like everything went away at once!

Review my cut- please :)

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the process of getting into the best shape possible for my wedding :) I started off at 137 lbs in January and currently sitting at around 129.4 lbs. I walk 13-15k steps a day, gym 5 times a week. Cardio is 25-30 min stairmaster or run 5x a week. I am currently on a coaching plan eating 1600 calories (I am 5’8). However I really seem to struggle with 1600 calories, I am really hungry all day. Because of this i have been snacking more on extra veg and meat, so i am probably sitting more around 1750 calories per week which has slowed down my weekly weight loss to 0,44 lbs a week.. I still have 10 weeks to go for my wedding and the diet fatigue is slowly creeping in.. i still want to have visible ab definition that will require another 6 lbs to lose.. any advice? :(

So close to my goal weight—here's my next steps! (I have no one to share this with, so I thought I'd share it with y'all. :)

28F, 5'3"!

July 2024 to Nov 2024, I went from 185lb to 166lb on 1800 calories a day. (2300 was my maintenance.) This was my first weight loss journey, so when I hit a plateau at 166lb and my weight didn't budge, I freaked. I dropped calories to 1750, then to 1650, and followed that very loosely. I went from strength training 2x/week to 3x/week. No budge. So in Feb 2025, I said fuck it, put weight loss on the back burner and tabled it for later.

Looking back now, it's so clear that:

1. Lowering my calories primarily didn't work because I wasn't consistent with the 1650 at all 💀
2. I just needed a maintenance break! Both physically and mentally

So, from Feb 2025 to July 2025, I took a maintenance break totally on accident, just from being frustrated by my plateau. I even stopped strength training. Thankfully, my eating habits had changed enough that I didn't gain back, and I was shocked to see 160lb on the scale in July 2025. 😳

July 2025, I try a new deficit since I'm smaller: 1550 calories a day. That was 33 weeks ago, and I've only lost 23lbs since then (currently 137!) Why? Well...

1. A few vacations sprinkled in there and mini maintenance breaks sprinkled in there (like Thanksgiving week lol)
2. I made a few mistakes in my calorie counting along the way. For example, I used Chipotle's calorie counter and thought I was eating fits-within-my-daily calories burrito bowl until I took one home one day, weighed it on my food scale and realized it was 400 cals over what I thought. 😳 Incorrectly guessing cookie calories from the bakery, stuff like that.

Yet, I'm still not stressed! I have a 2-week maintenance break planned from tomorrow to mid-March.

After that, I'll hop back on a 1500/day deficit, lose average 1lb a week for 10 weeks, strength train 3 times a week + 4 mile walks every day, and I'll be at my goal weight of 125lb by June 1st. :)

Let's do this!

How much did your bra size change?

I've lost over 30 kg (~70 lbs) and it's time time to admit - my old bras don't fit. I still have like 15 kg (~35 lbs) to lose. I'd be interested to hear how much the bodies of others changed.

Also, I always thought I wouldn't get self-conscious about the "side effects" of weight loss but I'm starting to doubt that. I'm self-conscious even about the shape of my chest area and how it has changed. How lose the skin is and how my breasts hang even though I'm only around 25 and I've never used big bra sizes. All the stretch marks that are now so visible.

I'm not even sure what my size is or was. I think at my biggest it was like 85-90D (~US 38-40C?) Now it's somewhere around 85B/80C/75D (~ US 36B?) I'm not committing yet to any certain size and I've gone bra shopping in second hand stores for this reason (you can find good brands and not used bras there! also cheap, since I have 15 kg left!). I might be totally off with the sizes. I've only recently started to look for new ones as I can't fill the old cups anymore...

Few months before I started the journey, in 2024, my bust size was 107 cm / 42 inches. 100 cm / 39 inches band size. Now the numbers are 94 / 37 and 80 / 31.5 . (Okay, these numbers make me feel like proportionally I might be gaining but it doesn't mentally feel like it when I look at the mirror.)

Any experiences? How do you feel about the topic? (Please feel free to use any units or systems.)

How much does drinking little water impact weight loss?

I’m (f,27) very bad at keeping my body hydrated. On most days, if I add up everything I drink — including water and coffee — I probably only reach around 0.5 to 1.25 liters in total. I know that’s not much, but the problem is that I almost never feel thirsty, so drinking just doesn’t cross my mind most of the time. Hours can pass before I realize I haven’t had anything to drink.

Since January, I’ve been trying to lose weight and build healthier habits. I’ve been pretty consistent with my routine: I make sure to get around 10,000 steps a day, and I also track my calories to stay in a deficit. Despite that, the progress has been extremely slow, which has been a bit frustrating. I expected it to be gradual, but sometimes it feels like the scale barely moves even when I’m doing everything “right.”

Recently someone mentioned that my very low fluid intake might be part of the reason my weight loss is slower than expected. That made me wonder if drinking so little could really have that big of an effect. I always assumed that as long as I’m in a calorie deficit, weight loss should still happen regardless of how much I drink.

So now I’m curious: can being chronically under-hydrated actually slow down weight loss significantly, even if you’re eating fewer calories than you burn? Or is it more likely that the slow progress is just normal and unrelated to how much I drink? 😅
