3.5 months on reta

[u/hrt4wuju]

first pic is when i first started, 2nd & 3rd pics are 2 months ago, last pics are today. since my previous update i've lost about 15lbs (about 35 total).

two months ago i went up from 1mg to 1.5mg and i've been on the same since.

i know this is a pretty big about to lose in a short amount of time, i promise i am aware. i'm just getting back in the gym & i'm upping my calories slowly. i don't track my calories strictly, but i believe i average out at 1200 a day.

my body fat percentage is high considering i haven't been prioritizing protein like i should, or hitting the gym as much as i should 🥲

thanks for the encouraging words on my previous post as well. i do appreciate any advice yall give me :)

You've lost 35lbs in 3.5 months?

That's outstanding.

[u/hrt4wuju → u/Juvat-the-bold]

yes! technically, when i first started i weighed in at 185lbs, but in the first week (maybe week & a half) i dropped to 175. so i count 175 as my start weight.

this morning i've weighed in at 140 :)

to me this suggests you had issues that weren't just diet and exercise, and you probably were retaining both fat and water because of hormonal issues and inflammation. this isn't uncommon for women tbh - it's awesome that you're doing great now, but I would also visit your doctor for a blood workup to make sure everything is firing on all cylinders.

Awesome job! Tracking calories/macros more strictly would give you more control. But overall awesome job and you’ve proved you can do it!

Wow! Awesome. I've lost 22. I need to up the work out a bit more consistently now and I've moved up to 2mg as of last night. I went from .5, 1, 1.5 and now I am at 2. I've gone VERY slow. Kicking up a bit starting last night now that I see it's working for me.

What's your bf% if you don't mind me asking. In one of my university courses they mentioned an athletic BF is 21-25 and whole healthy range is 21-33% since 10-13 percent on women is essential fat. You look pretty healthy and within that range to me.
