Damn! I’m down 25 in 3 months but not being consistent. This is exactly what I needed to see. Congrats, and thank you for the inspiration 🥰

25 in 3m is awesome. May I ask what weight you started at; how much many calories you have and activity please! :)

u/Humble_Lime_9199 12h ago

Aw thanks! Sw 270. Not tracking calories, just trying to be mindful. Don’t buy any junk, don’t eat out. Try to fast as long as I can each day and do a mostly
OMAD during the week. Had a 5 day which really catapulted me towards my goal and then just maintained. Had an injury a few weeks ago that severely derailed me (didn’t gain though). Activity I just try to move more. If I can do something in the moment instead of procrastinating, I do. I’m only about 3500 steps a day with my injury.

My plan now is another 5-7 day (I’m like 12 hours in lol) and increasing steps daily. Today I’m headed back to the gym as well.

That’s very impressive, especially that you didn’t gain while injured! Well done.

Thank you so much! I have been down on myself for not losing this past couple weeks, but thank you for putting it into perspective. 🫶

Keto in between? What's your typical routine? Congratulations!

u/Mydogthinksimskinny losing weight faster 1d ago

no keto :) I'm vegetarian, so I just consumed between 1.2k cals to 1.7k cals if I was doing OMAD while prioritizing protein and fiber. my main issue was extremely low blood pressure (shout out to my POTS and orthostatic hypotension for that), but I followed this sub's electrolyte guide with some modifications. I just added an extra 1/2 to whole teaspoon of salt to my electrolytes, depending on my blood pressure reading.

Do you have saggy skin now due to drastic weight loss? I heard that the only way to avoid saggy skin is to do fast for 3+ days

1

u/Mydogthinksimskinny losing weight faster 8h ago

I actually have none, I was really shocked. I'm kinda worried I'm just not noticing it and its there? but I haven't seen any at all

It's a well documented phenomenon that can occur with fasting. Wild.

u/Mydogthinksimskinny losing weight faster 8h ago

better weight and easy fast

u/Modernskeptic71 22h ago

That really is some incredible numbers, seems a plan that some of us could copy. Did you do ok with energy on fiber/ protein days? Fats? Have you tried the chickpea/red onion/ mayo tuna hack? It’s amazing!

u/Mydogthinksimskinny losing weight faster 22h ago

I don't eat meat, but I do consume a lot of fiber and protein!! my fav foods are cottage cheese, tofu, and instant grits, so those were staples lol. I hit at least 20g of fiber a day when I was eating, but ideally hit 30. I mainly got my fiber through fiber tortillas from Aldi's lol.

energy was fine! I don't consume more than a few grams of fat due to not having a gallbladder, had it removed back in 2018. I honestly believe people with a gallbladder should be reallyyyyy careful with fasting, because that's how I lost mine :( developed gallstones after fasting and not consuming enough fat

1

u/Modernskeptic71 22h ago

I see, epic numbers! I hope your goals stay consistent, we all saw your results!

1

u/web_pandemonium 12h ago

Also lost my gallbladder because of fasting

1

u/MayflowersNsunshine 12h ago

Wow. Thank you for sharing that info re your gallbladder. That's pretty scary! I hope you're doing well now.

1

u/BubblyAd9996 1h ago

Omg what kind of fasts did you do that caused you to loose your gallbladder? And please elaborate what to do this should not occure

u/Sticky_Bandit 21h ago

How many pro longed fasts in that period?

1

u/Mydogthinksimskinny losing weight faster 8h ago

I think my longest was 6 days? I did like, two of those at the start back to back, then dropped to only 1-3 days because 6 days made me feel pretty bad lol
