Nine months in, 41 pounds down, and the scale has been parked between 183 and 186 since early April. The first stretch felt almost automatic; now I’m doing the boring stuff and watching nothing move.
If I could send one note back to the beginning, it would be this: the weeks when the scale quits talking are not proof you’re failing. They’re when the daily decisions matter more than the number.
I’ve got a whiteboard with protein, steps, two dumbbell sessions, and sleep. I hit most of it, not all. I’m not looking for a miracle fix.
For folks further along: what kept you steady when the losses went quiet but you still had weight to lose?
