Hello r/loseit friends!
So I started this journey at 212 pounds on 4/15, and have had a pretty steady decline in weight loss the following 5-6 weeks. It was thrilling to say the least.
Now I’ve been stalled at 187 pounds for the past week-and-a-half. I was told this would happen but in my newbie ignorance shrugged it off and convinced myself that it wouldn’t happen to me. I mean, there’s no way you can’t lose weight at such a controlled calorie deficiency. Right?
But, you know what, I’m OK with it. I haven’t once hesitated these past 8 days or so. I’ve kept up with calorie counting, and even increased my workouts a bit as well. Even though the scale is not moving, I’m still noticing differences in my body. My chest and gut feel tighter, and my clothes feel looser. Something is happening I say!
Not really sure what the point of this post was, but just thought I’d post it as a reminder to myself and others to stay strong during your plateaus! Hang in there!
