LowCalorieMallory's Journal, 26 August 2024

Joined the gym, to push myself harder on strength and cardio. Still maintaining healthy high protein, high fat, low carb diet. No junk food/alcohol. Usually eat 1, sometimes 2 good healthy meals per day. In this past few weeks My weight has not changed, I’m still the same weight on the scales, but my body is looking noticeably better shape, more defined muscles, less cellulite. I’d say I could still lose 5kg of fat, definitely, but at this stage I’m not trying too hard to push the weight loss, I’m trying for “body recomp” to gradually replace fat with muscle, the goal is to reshape the body without directly aiming to lose fat. I guess it’s working, but it’s a slow process. I have to remind myself it’s a really slow process, and I can’t judge by what the scales say. The scales tell me I’m exactly the same weight in kg. My diet is not in caloric deficit, and not in caloric surplus either. But when people see me and they hasn’t seen me for a while they say “oh you’ve lost weight!” So it must be working, But I haven’t actually lost any weight, just swapped muscle mass for fat mass I guess. As I get more muscles I’ll gradually lose more fat too, that’s the idea!
154.8 lb Lost so far: 10.6 lb.    Still to go: 11.5 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I'm in the same place. Daily protein supplement and a lot of strength training has me pleauting on the scale. This is where the tape measure comes in. Take your body measurements and watch them drop instead. The scales aren't budging at the moment, but the inches are dropping and I've gone down a notch on my belt. That number on the scale certainly isn't everything.
