I know I’m not the first and I won’t be there last to say it but: make sure your tracking your progress by more than just the scale! Whether that be through progress pictures, measuring centimeters/inches, or what have you.
I weigh myself daily and take the average at the end of the week, but I also have biweekly mini goals set up. Well, this time around I only lost 1/2 lb in two weeks. I know, progress is progress; but my progress is slowing down and I’m starting to get a little bit frustrated. So I decided to track my measurements (even though I usually only do that at the end of the month and thought I was setting myself up for disappointment by checking again after only 2 weeks) just to see if there was any change or recomp going on. Turns out, I lost a 1/4 inch off my hips and my arms in two weeks!
Now I know that’s not too much either but I find those measurements to be significantly more impactful than just the scale so I’m quite happy this morning.
TLDR: recomp is a real thing and your scale can lie
