I’m a 29-year-old woman who has lost 50lbs since January 2024 (CW: 200). I have been hitting my protein targets consistently, walking an average of 15K steps a day, and am committed to strength training. I didn’t get any body composition scans done until recently, but over a few months, I saw that I was building a little muscle while losing weight on the scale, which I’m proud of. As I look toward this next 50lbs of loss, I’m wondering if the tools that have gotten me to this point are the ones I should stick to. I’d like to disconnect from my need to weigh myself every morning, but with so much weight left to lose, it feels scary to let that go and focus on body composition instead. What should I consider as I make this decision?
If I weigh myself at the beginning of the week and then again at the end, and the scale goes up 1-2 pounds, does that mean I'm probably around my average maintenance calories for what I tracked for the week?
I have a question about this episode This ONE Strategy Will Naturally STOP Overeating To Improve WEIGHT LOSS Goals | Mind Pump 2094 and this Training Frustrations. I am on the last phase of the MAPS Aesthetic program, and I did the entire program without being in a deficit. I was eating around maintenance and slightly in a surplus. My body fat has visibly changed, and I can see more muscular development, but the number on the scale hasn’t really changed at all. If anything, I might have gone down a couple of pounds. Is that a good sign?
