Day 11of the 75 hard challenge!

If the heavy exercise schedule in 75 hard was new for you, you could still be seeing water retention effects in a short time like 11 days. If you're of an age/stage to have menstrual cycles, that's even more true.

Realistically, it takes 4-6 weeks to see the average net effect of a new eating and activity regimen, or at least one whole menstrual cycle so you can compare body weight at the same relative point in at least 2 different cycles when using that program. The more extreme the program, the more true this is, I suspect.

I know this can be frustrating, sincerely . . . but I think that's realistic advice. It takes patience and persistence, especially in those first weeks.

Once you have that much time at close to the same eating/activity, and you're logging food carefully, you'll have all the personalized data you need to begin adjusting your calorie goal - if necessary - to fine tune weight loss rate.

Short of that much time, tweaking strategies is more likely to be an over-reaction to temporary fluctuations, plus will muddy up that personal data enough that you won't be able to do an evidence-based calorie adjustment.

Hang in there!
