Outcomes aren't guaranteed
Your mileage may vary is a disclaimer that results or experiences may differ from what's being described.
Originally from car advertisements noting that fuel economy varies by driver and conditions, it now applies to any situation where outcomes aren't guaranteed: The diet worked for me, but your mileage may vary.
Often abbreviated YMMV in online writing.
