Just a rant here on how much it sucks to hit a plateau after a bit of solid progress. I (26M) have been on a new journey that really kicked off end of August. At the time, I was 273lbs, kicking off a depression, and wanting so bad to be a person I could think of as amazing. Over ~18 weeks, I went California sober - only drinking water, black coffee, and the rare Diet Coke. Im a regular at the gym with a set schedule - 3 days of strength training, 2 days of cardio, and aiming for an average Kcal deficit of minimum 1000/daily. For 3 weeks my CW has hovered 241-245lbs. It felt good getting out of the 260’s. It felt AMAZING getting out of the 250’s. But for the life of me, going under 240lbs keeps eluding me.
I know progress isn’t linear, and I know that staying consistent will yield results eventually. Knowing this doesn’t prevent the agony and frustration of wanting so badly to have your reflection match the ideals you desire - especially when you’re putting in the effort to achieve them. So to anyone else who is on a plateau, whether it’s 1 week or 6 months, just know you are not alone. Your feelings are valid, and others are kicking and screaming with you in solidarity.
