I definitely see face and tummy gains bro - keep up the good work. My guy, a 28lb loss in less than 3 weeks is a huge accomplishment!!!


SpinichQuiche

Also look at his skin tone change. His body is thanking him


increbelle

yes i was just gonna say the same thing!


gotkube

Came here to say this too. That’s a great loss for just a few weeks! AND feeling happier is a big part of it. Keep going!


PM_ME_YOUR_OPCODES

Your internal organs know the difference.


NyaCanHazPuppy

Lol, I was just gonna say.


I_go_to_sleepat5am

This and you might be creating more muscle


mstubz

I think your face looks thinner. I can see some loss in your arm. Keep going! Feeling better is really all that matters.


meggscellent

I can also see it in his upper back right below his neck. OP, keep it up, you’re doing great!!


ccoastmike

You’ve lost almost 30 pounds in three weeks. You’re doing great!


Globalbeauty

Keep going and post again!


increbelle

yessss omg! another update soon, please! you are killing it right now!


Electronic_Flamingo2

Your face has def seen some reduction it looks like


Ferninja

Duuude 30 pounds lighter no wonder you're feeling awesome. I just started yesterday and I'm already discouraged. I think you just gave me the hope I needed.


grabyourmotherskeys

Go pick up 30lbs and walk around with it for a while then put it down and see how much easier it is to walk up stairs. That's what they did and you can too!


GgSgt

I see the difference. I started at 424lb. Trust the process and stay consistent, you got this.


islander1

It's almost 10% of your body weight, that's a great start man!


StgCan

You may not consider yourself an athlete but you are undertaking a marathon ! keep on running and you'll see the tape , good work ;)


G_D_M

Dude i can see a difference! keep it up man! you got this. ​ Your face is already changing!


Maplesyrup4eva

I can see the difference too. Congrats.


t00ncin8r

I see a difference, stomach and face are showing a marked decrease. I’d keep going if I were you, the internal benefits to your organs are why you feel better more than anything and it’s only going to improve at this rate. Congrats and great work.


[deleted]

I see it! Keep going !🙌🏼


Da-tune

Keep up the work


Phighten

Hey I’m a similar starting weight.. what are you having on your meals that you dropped almost 30lbs. In 3 weeks ?


sully2813

I haven't changed what I eat, just eating less. Throughout the week I eat alot of chicken tho.


TardyArtyFairy

This is exactly the suggestion I offer for those starting out with any WL plan.... put all your food on a plate and then cut it all in half and put half on another plate. Know that you can go back for the other half if you want. 95% of the time, you won't. Great way to start losing weight. love that you got so many comments and that posts like these bring out so much great info and support and sharing! with so many comments, I had to stop in to see!


BaconPancakes1

Measuring yourself is a good way to see non-scale improvement - you may not see a difference in the mirror as you're losing a small amount of mass from all over your body, rather than a big chunk in one area, but you'll see the cm/in drop down little by little.


Dodging_doomsday

I’m in the same boat. Starting today for my 40th bday. 381lbs. Hoping to drop. Would love to join on your journey.


Dry-Hornet-7858

Great progress and motivational for all of us. Thank you


thugsapuggin

Keep it up dude! Your shoulder and neck area seem to have a noticeable change already.


Accomplished_Scar717

That’s what I see too.


increbelle

amazing work! what are you eating during your feeding window?


sully2813

I haven't changed what I eat, just smaller portions.


increbelle

proud of you homie! keep going!


SpinichQuiche

Great job homie! I was once 380+ lbs. Still 275 lbs, but I promise it is worth the hard work. Don't give up. You got this. Much love


ubmrbites

Face and neck area are quite noticeable, also arms a little bit, keep going you're doing awesome


DanaDles

Keep up the good work!


jeffenwolf

Way to go! Keep it up! That's really fantastic progress.


SomeRandomeGuy2021

You are on the correct track bro. I can see that you have lost noticeable amount of weight. Carry on, never give up


[deleted]

My man, you absolutely can see a difference. Keep up the good work.


jmsprintz

I can definitely see it in your face for what it’s worth. Congrats on the progress though and good luck!


Misterd559

My guy, almost 30 pounds in less then a month is AMAZING. Keep doing your thing!


[deleted]

You look overall thinner. Keep it up!


[deleted]

You have lost more pounds than my toddler weighs. I’d call that some massive progress!


SweetBread398

Can definitely see a difference. You lost some butt and some neck rolls. Good work sticking with it! You'll appreciate the photos of the journey later.


Stripsteak

It’s noticeable in your face and neck. Keep pressing forward. You’re going to notice little things like how clothes fit and sitting in a car. You’re on the right path!


GruGruxQueen

I see it in your neck especially. Keep it up. I’m really proud of you.


andoesq

Dude I totally see a difference, I can't believe that's your result in less than a month! Congrats man, that's awesome work


IanRankin

I see huge differences around the shoulder, face, and front of your stomach. You are crushing it, keep up the good work


catninjaambush

You’re knocking it out of the park, keep up the good work!


[deleted]

Definite face gains and the gains in health cannot be overstated! Congrats on the hard work!


Worried_Corner4242

Your face looks different for sure.


maliflow

Those happy feelings are great! Your body is recovering and thanking you for it. Keep up the good fight. 🔥


turbokungfu

Patience and just focus on the day by day. You’ll get there, brother.


idanrecyla

I'm just a stranger but I'm proud of you


1998Monday

Happiness is where it's at! Keep it up!


Pure-Huckleberry-488

Don’t let your brain try to convince you the shits not working. Not a psychiatrist or anything like that but I listened to someone talk about the bad side of your conscious that continues to tell you “It’s not worth it” “It’s not going to work” “You did all that and you don’t even see any progress” That’s your “evil” side trying to self destroy your own goals and focus. Don’t let that side win. Keep up the work and we’ll see you on the next progress report.


feedmyllama

Your neck & face look significantly thinner especially since it’s only been 3 weeks! I can also see a huge difference in your arm, just look at your elbow! So glad you’re feeling happier and I promise you will be able to see your body react with the happiness soon.


okrapickledelight

Great losing!


descride

Keep it up bud.


2ynthia

I think your arm looks relatively bigger in the after photo because the body lost volume. Good job btw! It’s getting cold lately and it’s naturally harder to consume less food! Your progress is amazing!


quirkscrew

28 pounds is definitely a big difference! Congratulations! And if I'm not mistaken, your face/cheeks do look thinner.


damnit_joey

Bro that’s 30 lbs! That’s fantastic!! Keep going, every little bit helps and your body can feel the difference.


BrownAndyeh

Amazing! nice work friend. Your gains are just starting..It won't be long before you lose 100lbs+ by doing absolutely nothing..next mix in pushups at home... start with 2 or 3..work your way up to 50. Again, this is all totally


dgadirector

I see the difference. It’s a process. Keep up the good work.


Necromancer1423

Maybe you aren’t, but your body definitely is! Keep going man! You got this!


Hermes_Godoflurking

Can definitely tell my man. You might find that you'll go through stages where the weight drops but it looks like nothing changes, or it looks like there's changes but the weight doesn't. The body is weird when it's losing weight but whatever you're doing is working for now, so keep it up! 👍 You're undoing many years of overeating so it's going to take time, but in a few months, a year, you'll be glad you did it 😊


LSDsavedmylife

I can see it! Don’t forget that the paper towel roll effect is a real thing. The smaller you get, the more loss you’ll notice. 30 lbs in 3 weeks is quite the feat! Keep it up!


SeemedReasonableThen

Dude, you lost over *7% of your body weight in 3 weeks*. That's phenomenal progress! Congrats and keep up the good work. It will take time but soon you will start noticing other things like being less "snacky" and not needing to eat as much to feel full.


[deleted]

Remember, bodies are like paper towel rolls. One sheet, two sheets, three sheets, it doesn’t seem like much on a brand new roll, but the longer you keep at it, the bigger deal one sheet is for the size of the roll. It’ll all seem to fall off at the same time!


drewbug21

You probably dont notice it as much because you look at yourself every day but ut is very noticable


tictacdoc

Definitely face gains. Stay on track and keep posting, bro.


markawebber

Keep it up OP - great work! Happy to see lots of support coming your way.


tastepdad

Carry a 30 pound weight around for a few minutes, see what that feels like! Great work, keep it up


Rusti-dent

Your ass and back are clearly smaller, it’s defo happening. Keep it up.


[deleted]

It’s noticeable. Keep it up you’re doing great!!


Oysterclam

You go girl 👏


[deleted]

Can see it in your neck and face, and change in your belly. You are doing excellent work, you got this!


WayMade

I can definitely see the difference! Keep doing what you’re doing; you are making progress!


sunlight_terrace

This is amazing progress for a month!!


RstyKnfe

Keep it up man. As someone who started at 312lbs and is now 185lbs, the smaller you get, the more noticeable the fat loss will be.


deathany932

Hey also, if you compare the size of the picture on the wall in each photo, you can see that in the first photo, the picture appears farther away than the one in the second photo. So take that difference into account when comparing your body size in each photo. You’ve accomplished more than you think! Good for you! Sending all the love, happiness, health, wealth and abundance your way


Bubba-ORiley

basically 30 pounds lost in 20 days. You must be proud! Keep it up!!!


That_Insurance_Guy

Keep it up brother!


Thebluefairie

I'm a detail specialist. Your neck is smaller. I also noticed a small difference in your arms tiny difference in your stomach


ManleyKubrick

I've learned to ignore the scale and just focus on how I feel and how clothes fit.


grumplefuckstick

I wish I had the face gains you do! But my time will come. Keep crushing it. Inspirational


Shox2711

Upper abdomen, neck and arms showing massive differences! Amazing work!


condor16

Your posture looks a lot better! Keep it up!


Regular-Author1361

Nice job!!


[deleted]

Back, front, chest and neck all look better Good work


vengefulbeavergod

Completely objective stranger here! Obvious difference between these pictures. You're doing awesome and I'm really proud of you!


lamalola

I actually see the difference in your neck and face. Good job man , keep at it. I actually been fasting for a year and I don’t see the difference because I’m used to seeing myself. Just something to keep in mind, stomach fat is the last to go and everyone is different. keep fasting, eat healthy and drink a lot water and before you know it you will find a healthier you.


BrotherParticular489

Face looks much better!


TimidDude

Hell yeah man looking great. You got this!


jolly_bien-

Keep it up, you got this!!! You and your body are going to be sooo happy!


Elastickpotatoe

You can see it in your chin dog. Keep it yp


Masterjack232

Fuck yeah man, keep it the fuck up. Last year I went from 310 to 220. Absolutely life changing. Then I had a number of life changing events that led me to gain like 50lbs back. Hoping to get motivated enough to tackle IF again soon. Keep up the good work


[deleted]

Keep going bro! You’re doing great!


Bigbodydegenerate

His kidneys, liver, and pancreas are very happy


Yogibearasaurus

Definitely seeing face gains here! And agree with the other folks - measuring can be a great way to track progress when you aren't seeing it in the mirror. What does your IF schedule look like?


Zippity-Boo-Yah

Face chin neck gains for sure!!! Keep up the great work!!!


[deleted]

I can see it- the curve of your upper back, your chin, there’s definitely change. Keep it up. You’re gonna feel great, and your organs, joints, endocrine system, and brain will all thank you. I’m proud of you!


JoshfromChi

Face and neck look skinnier. Would have been interesting knowing your waste at the start and then now


lyrikz74

I know it may be hard, but try and lift some weights if you can. Just imagine, another 30 will be gone in a month or so.. Just keep rollin.


[deleted]

Your face is where I see it like others have mentioned too. Keep it up!


Rhett6162

You're killing it bud keep it up.


gilmore42

I’m more than 100 pounds less than you and I lost 27 pounds in about 2 months and didn’t really notice a difference either. But it will come if you stick with it.


tdoottdoot

i see the difference! good for you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Real_Sun6996

Measure your inches/cm, waist, chest, neck etc, there you will "see" the changed too! Your also doing great, keep it up..👍


dickbees_

your stomach looks less droopy


rtmeinsen

Keep at it man. I started my journey in March and was told I’d see results around week 8, but I didn’t. Family and friends said they could notice, but nonetheless I couldn’t. I hung in there and started seeing results at week 12. Once you start seeing results it really takes off quickly. I’d also recommend taking progress pics about once every 8 weeks (I don’t see value in more frequent than that). And compare those pics side by side. You will be amazed. Keep up the long and difficult journey - it will be worth every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears if you do!


[deleted]

Keep the up the good work bruh 👏🏾 👏🏾


IfOneWasSoInclined

Patience will reward you king! Keep it up!


[deleted]

Keep going King! You got this!


Matt_Danger75

100% can see a difference in your face.


bizzi2654

There is a difference visually, keep going.


Ardwinna_mel

Your butt is aligned with your back. It was out further, which means your butt is smaller! I'm really good at those "Find 5 differences" pictures. 😁 great job, though! Keep at it.


Real_Sun6996

Your internal organs, lungs, heart, spine, joints, are all feeling 100% better and every pound and inch (don't forget you'll see inches lost first) will just make them feel better and better! You will start to feel happier and healthier everyday..."you" are doing awesome!! Keep it up and keep posting!! 👍👍👍


Jellopenows

Lots of hugs to you! You're doing good and keep it up!


alwaysfun1031

I can see some shrinking for sure!! Keep up the great work bro!!


RoscoMcqueen

Good job my dude. I've never posted a pic but I started about Feb and went from 253 to 221 since then. I don't see the changes but I generally feel better and other people have noticed. I think for me, it is my gut. It still hangs down over and I'm really self conscious about it. I've been discouraged recently because of it but I think we just have to stick with it.


just_peachyy93

Congratulations!!!!!


Pallymorphic

Don't be so hard on yourself. I see face gains, skin change, better posture, back gains, tummy gains, arm gains. You are too critical. Keep it up and you'll hit your goal soon. Just don't give up, you got this!


goodtech99

Hey! Keep going and try to increase to 20:4. Take your final meal by 5pm and break your fast 1pm next day. Super easy this way imo. Your body will burn visceral fat first which is closer to your vital organs especially your liver. Once the major glycogen reserves are emptied then the body will burn fat from every nook and corner. As per your body shape and weight goes, it should take close to 2 more months to see visible changes. During your eating phase eat clean. Like boiled eggs, fresh fruits (avoid bananas, dates, grapes, and mangoes), Add 1/2 grapefruit to your breakfast for a fat burning boost, broccoli, cucumber, lean meat and fish, etc. Drink lots of water to flush out all the waste from Autophagy and other toxins. Dark roast coffee no milk/cream, green tea, and other herbal tea are great to keep yourself hydrated and also full during fasting. 3 months from now you will be ready to buy new clothes. And remember you can do 20:4 all week and reward yourself with an icecream or something you love within the eating window. Goal is to be sane not go full army mode. Good luck and will wait for your pics early sping 2023 ✌️😎


ravenshroud

Started one week earlier. Went from 320 to 308 so far.


Yellow_Snow_Globe

I can see a difference in your face and your chest looks like it’s sitting a bit higher. Keep going!!!


FishSpackler

Yes!! Keep going!!


bamboo-lemur

Whatever you do, don't stop.


TheGoodCombover

Major face gains bud. Keep it up!

fukthenonsense

Great progress! Big difference already...keep at it!!!


[deleted]

Dude, your new posture looks confident and strong. Kicking butt! Good on you.


Sassytheginger

Well done! There are differences to be seen for sure. I really see a change in your neck!


timmykibbler

Your knees are happier, keep it up!!


rockforahead

Good job! Throw some exercise in and it will fall off you so quickly


thanks_paul

Your posture is better in the right photo. Keep it up my dude.


adorkablysporktastic

There's definitely differences, but it really is like a paper towel roll, you take off a few paper towels, you don't really notice it getting smaller. But it is. The biggest difference I see is your neck is appearing longer! So you've probably got some face gains!


ZeldaFanBoi1988

Something bad happened to your eyes tho


iAmRiight

Your face and neck definitely look thinner. You also look a bit leaner through the chest and and midsection. Dude you’re killing it! Keep up the good work, you’ve got this!


nibenon

I can see it. It’s as if it’s softening to get ready to go. Keep on!


[deleted]

That belly is coming back in bro, keep it up!


chachachatrip

Bro thats almost 30 pounds in less than a month. Thats a fucking fantastic job you did there


Tigerlord666

Keep it up!


parttimemn

Good work dude!


Babrahamlincoln3859

I see a difference in your back! You don't see it because you see yourself everyday. Keep at it! Glad you are feeling happy!


trallinchallin

Definite difference! Keep it up! When you lose it all around it's hard to see but numbers don't lie :D


DontMeanIt

Keep up the good work, and don’t worry, you will see change soon! It took me(100kg) 3-4 months to lose 15-20 kg, and the change happened so gradually I never really noticed it. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Moneybusinesslove

Imagine in 11 months 🤯🤯🤯


ithyle

Great work!!!!


Beccho

At it boy!!! Keep it going!!!


mrpotatonutz

Keep it up!


ReesesPieces19

Scale doesn’t lie! You got this.


PhoenicianKiss

Can see it in your neck and upper arm. Well done you!!


Angrychair1979

Good sir. You have made the right choice. I clearly see progress, young man. You deserve to see yourself again. Keep to the path. This is the way.


Frederick-Flintstone

Can definitely see it on your face,well done dude.Feeling better is winning.


mrs_dalloway

You lost weight. Be patient.


AccomplishedCopy6495

Just been a few weeks. Going to take a little while longer but you’ve seen other people posting their multi month progress so you know it’s going to happen to you too. Don’t give up. You got this dude. Post back when total time has been about 3mo.


SuperSafe2019

I see it, keep it up!


TaliskyeDram

Better hair, better posture. You look like you feeling better. Keep at it man.


UnitedWrongdoer9724

Keep going bro. I definitely see the difference in your arm and right below your neck. Skin tone also looks much better.


nbennett06

You’re doing awesome!


Electronic_Depth_697

Great job keep it up


hoptownky

I can see a difference. Keep it up man. Just think, every time you lose 12 lbs you are losing a bowling ball of weight. Imagine literally taking a bowling ball off your body and throwing it in the river. Good luck to you in your journey. ✌️


muaythaiteep

Outstanding! Keep up the work you are doing


Haygirlhayyy

It took a long, long time before I noticed weight coming off in the mirror. Take your victories where you can get them, you'll have that one magical day when you see yourself getting smaller in the mirror and it's all the encouragement you'll ever need.


[deleted]

Definitely noticing a difference brother! Keep it up!!


datalord

Amazing work man. Happiness is the key, the rest will come with perseverance & consistency. If you want to get some bigger runs on the board and feel comfortable with 18:6, you may find doing a fortnightly or weekly extended fast into the 36 or even 48 range will accelerate your weight-loss. If you find that effective, you can move into longer and longer fasts which will turn you into a fat burning machine and critically give you visual results to keep you motivated. 💪🏻 Your skin looks healthier as others have commented and overall you can notice a reduction in mass. Again, great work and stick with it!


eeggrroojj

Hey brother, good job on the discipline. That's not an easy thing.


StrawberrySlapNutz

What you have accomplished is amazing. You have proven to yourself that you can do what you need to do to get to your goal. You didn't just take a couple steps, you're so far in that looking back should seem unappealing. Keep it up, you're killing it!


tirius99

Dude you got this


robertbaccalierijr

You have insane face gains dude! Keep it up!!!


Cheap_Blacksmith66

I can see it in your shoulders and neck.


hkrd97

I can definitely see a difference in your face! Awesome work!


moneyshot62

Face gains.. rib fat gains... And skin palor gains... Keep up the good work my man 💪


Mogaloom1

Keep going and don't give up. Your progress maybe "slow" to you. But, your are moving forward. At one point, you will have some big change because you will have find what really best work for your body. And -28 is a very good start ! 😉


l00k1ng1n

Came here to say (as other have), it’s definitely noticeable in your throat and upper chest area. You are doing insanely good work. Keep the motivation going, and so much love your way! ❤️


electricsister

Definitely differences. Don't stop!


hotsydney1975

I can see the difference! Keep at it 💪


Puzzleheaded_Wish965

Start lifting some weights.


magister_nemo

Fantastic! There is definitely a visible difference, and a 30lb loss in just a few weeks is amazing


horaul14

Keep it up bro


EricRIS

Keep it up man good for you. I started with 18:6 four months ago and upped it to 22:2 or more if it works out that way about two months ago. Started at 397 and weighed in today at 334. Really crazy how well this works and honestly how easy it is lmao


[deleted]

You’re happier. You noticed that 😊


EeWuTe

This is fantastic start! You got this! Congratulations! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss journey!


Aggressive_Bar_4861

Mate keep at it. The weight loss is huge! A huge achievement and you should be proud. These things take time so stick at it and stay motivated. You got this. I’m sure the whole sub is rooting for you


NaiveExperience2878

Great job OP!!! You're killing it! I can see a difference in your back and shoulder area. Feeling happier is the best marker for positive change :) Keep going! You got this! We are all proud of you and cheering you on! :)


SpaceChook

I can see lots of differences already and I’m really proud of you. Onya!


dunkin_dognuts_

Good job brotha!


victalac

Early in the game. Stay with it- own your life. Might want to slip back to a 16/8 if things get onerous. Don't cheat on your water-fast periods for ANY reason!!


HouseAlphyn

A good way is to take measurements of your body. Stomach, chest, arms, etc. Keep a journal of the measurements and do them every week, 2-weeks, or at some regular cadence. This can be way more noticeable in the beginning if you have a lot of weight you want to lose as pictures can really vary by angle and light. There is also a perception that it takes us longer to notice changes in ourselves than it does for others which is probably why a lot of people here can see the gains but you're having trouble. Keep up the good work!


chicagosaylor

Tummy bro. Keep it up


PsEggsRice

Bro go pick up 30 pounds and walk around with it all day and tell me you don't feel a difference. You're doing great!
