    4 to 6 weeks for pre menopausal women...

    This works for my 49 year old self, she is 33 I hope she is not pre-menopausal. I like to say after one full menstrual cycle.

    Hmmm, terminology issue.

    Not yet menopausal was the intended use of pre. In other words include a complete kitten cycle in the time frame. 3-4 weeks doesn't always.

    . (not sure where you got the two kids thing? I don't have any, but I definitely wouldn't consider myself sedentary).

    Sigh.

    I obviously need more coffee and it is already early afternoon!!!

    Conflated with other post where lady has two kids.

    Long term adherence is exponentially more important than speed of results.

    U may also want to read the first few pages of the re-feeds and diet breaks thread as a strategy to consider

    @PAV8888 Ha, no worries! Thanks again for the feedback. I read on diet breaks and am actually contemplating that next week. It’s been 4 weeks at 1350 and next week is my birthday so thinking of going to maintenance for that week and then going back to a deficit. Might be a little early for a break but I’m ready for it nonetheless (another indication that 1350 is low).

    Refeeds is an option too as break implies a longer break and refeeds bring hormones up in shorter time periods. Look for thread started by Nony_mouse re same
