hi everyone! so, i’ve seen a lot of posts where people often feel discouraged because although they’ve been working consistently, the scale doesn’t reflect progress. thus the term, non scale victories! where we focus on the smaller things, like a shirt that fits better or better stamina. but...what about when the scale is dropping pounds consistently every week but all my clothes still fit the same?? i have unfortunately found myself in this situation. i took before and after pics, measurements, there’s almost no difference except for some fat lost in my cheeks. i’ve been really consistent with CICO and occasional strength training for the last 8 weeks.
for reference i’m eating at 1200 calories everyday, i get about 50-60 grams of protein everyday, do light strength training 3-4 times a week. SW was 138 pounds, on April 27. today i weighed in at 123 pounds. i’m aware that water weight has to account for a lot of that weight, but according to CICO i should’ve lost at least 7-9 pounds by now. what could be the reason behind me not seeing any progress in the mirror? in the past when i’ve done CICO i’ve seen progress within about one month. (on a separate weight loss journey two years ago). this time i’m not seeing anything and it’s really demotivating.
my worst fear is that i’m losing muscle instead of fat :(
thanks in advance for any help!!
