I’m 11 months into this and down 38 pounds, but since early April the loss has gone quiet. The scale keeps bouncing inside a 3-pound window, and my hips, knees, and shoulders ache like I did a heavy leg day when all I’ve done is walk the dog and two short resistance-band sessions.
Water and protein are solid, sleep is mediocre, and I’m not quitting. But the soreness plus the pause is messing with my head.
Anyone else have their body feel inflamed while the scale takes a break? Do you just keep the routine boring and wait it out?
