It takes 8 weeks to see your body change. Keep going!

Just wanted to share my experience to encourage others.

When I started this weight loss journey I did everything right. Diet and exercise consistently. I lost an average of 2 pounds / 1 kg a week. Yes, I did have some plateaus where it took me almost 2 weeks to lose a kilogram, but overall I stayed focused and kept losing because I kept working hard.

The first weeks were hard, mentally. Changing my diet, making exercise a part of my daily life, eating at a deficit.

But the hardest part? Looking at the mirror and not seeing any changes (just my perception). Even if the clothes started getting looser / fitting.

After 2 months of consistent effort and focus, I finally started recognizing change.

The thing is: when you're at an obese/higher weight, losing 2 or 4 pounds isn't noticeable. But things are happening inside. You're still getting healthier.

We need to trust the process, be patient and work hard. You don't get fat in one day nor skinny in one day.

After 8 weeks you will see the change not only on your body, but in your mind and your life.

Take body measurements!

Try your goal clothes!

Take progress pics!
