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?
I went up in weight as a female, but my body does not look that different. Why is that?
