I've waited so long for this! I feel so happy! After having my fourth baby I never thought it was possible to lose all the weight. I'm so close to my target goal weight!
Slow and steady wins the race! My friend has been going very slowly with great results. She started around 175 and is 129 now – it took her about a year but she feels great.
Weight loss *can* sometimes impact hair health, but it's usually due to nutritional deficiencies that sometimes happen as people change their diets. Make sure you're getting enough protein, iron, and other essential nutrients!
That brain quiet thing is absolutely real. I used to replay conversations all night, picking apart what I said to teachers and whatever. Exhausting. Then month 2 hit and it just... stopped. Didn't even notice for a few days. The joint stiffness got better way before I lost enough weight for it to make sense—15 pounds in and my knees stopped screaming on stairs.
went 118kg to 83kg in 5 months, now 78kg after 6 more months. belly bloat mostly disappears before you hit normal bmi. got some loose skin on arms and legs but also starting to see abs at 69. if i can do this, so can you.
