I've been orbiting the same two-pound window since February. Not up, not down, just circling. I kept telling myself I'd start lifting once the number cooperated, which is obviously backwards.
A few of you kept saying some version of "the weights don't care about your plateau" and it lodged somewhere in my head. So four weeks ago I started. Three sessions a week, mostly dumbbells and a squat rack, nothing fancy. I'm sore in places I forgot I had, and my appetite is noticeably louder than it was.
The scale still hasn't moved. But I'm sleeping through the night, my posture looks different in the mirror, and I can haul every grocery bag in one trip without negotiating with myself. That isn't nothing.
For those of you lifting while still losing: how long did your body take to settle before the number started catching up to the work?
