What to Expect on Your Weight Loss Journey

The First Few Weeks

The beginning of your journey often brings the most dramatic changes. Many patients experience:

• Initial water weight loss: The first 3-7 pounds often come quickly, largely from reduced water retention.
• Reduced cravings: The THINNR Protocol typically begins affecting appetite within the first week or two.
• Adjustment period: Your body is adapting to new eating patterns. Some people feel energized; others need a few days to adjust.
• Learning curve: You're building new habits around meal planning, food choices, and portion sizes.

Weeks 4-12: Finding Your Rhythm

As you settle into the program, things become more predictable:

• Steady progress: Weight loss typically settles into a sustainable pace of 1-3 pounds per week.
• Habit formation: Healthy choices start feeling more automatic.
• Possible plateaus: It's normal for weight loss to stall temporarily. This doesn't mean the program isn't working.
• Non-scale victories: Clothes fitting better, more energy, improved sleep, better mood.

The Middle Phase: Staying Committed

This is where many people struggle. The initial excitement fades, but you're not yet at your goal.

Success strategies include:

• Staying connected with your THINNR provider for accountability
• Focusing on habits, not just the scale
• Celebrating progress along the way
• Remembering why you started

Approaching Your Goal

As you near your target weight, the focus shifts to maintenance. The THINNR Maintenance Stack helps support this transition. You'll work with your provider to:

• Gradually adjust your approach for maintenance
• Identify which habits are most important to maintain
• Develop strategies for handling challenges
• Set up ongoing monitoring and check-ins
