Hi y'all, I'm a 25 year old female and experiencing confusion on my weight.
In late 2019, I was put on a psychiatric medication that shot me up by 60 pounds in 3 months. It's the heaviest I've ever been... 200lbs at 5" 6'. In the last three years, I've been on a weight loss journey, with some on-and-off in between lasting maybe a couple weeks each time. But this is the last time. I've been going strong for 6 months, and I'm making sure to set foundations for success in a lifestyle change, not just temporary weight loss. I've lost 35 pounds in those 3 years, by no means has it been quick but I've been learning.
With the context out of the way, I'm confused about my weight. I've hovered around 165 pounds for the past three months. Changes to my lifestyle include occasional walks, going to the gym maybe once every two weeks, and tracking calories to about 1,400 a day. None of these things really scream "muscle gain" to me, but instead of losing weight, I've been losing inches.
Over the past month and a half, I've lost 2-4 inches from every part of my body that you can wrap a tailor's tape measure around. I think that's supposed to come from body recomposition, but I haven't exactly done anything to make that happen. Does anybody know what's going on, or if this is a good thing?
TLDR: I've lost some weight, but it has plateaued. While hovering in the same 5 pound range for months, I've lost 2-4 inches circumference around arms, legs, waist, etc. I don't work out hard enough to justify calling it body recomposition. Does anybody know what's happening?
