I (F22) think I may be going crazy! Or maybe my scale is broken..
So, I don't count calories but rather estimate them. Given my calculated TDEE (using sedentary), I am absolutely 100% at a deficit. There's no question about it. I also don't currently exercise but work a job on my feet. The thing that confuses me is, I haven't lost more than 2lbs in the last month. I check every morning and without fail, it's within the same 3lb range. This is incredibly frustrating for me.
So this morning, I see a family member I haven't seen in about a week or two, and they comment on how much thinner I look recently. Not only that but I can even tell my legs look much slimmer. So I'm like, okay, now what? Because if there's a noticeable size loss, something must be changing. Is it possible that I just have a stalling scale? Can this even be recomp if I'm not eating at maintenance AND not working out?
I have noticed recently I've been extremely thirsty despite how much water I drink every day so it's possible that there's a connection? Because I do look a little bloated.
Any help is appreciated!
