Thanks Kareno - actually Im dealing with an injury. I can still lift, but cardio is hard. Its the weirdest thing. Im find just standing, but the more I walk, the more the shin muscle of my left leg hurts, it gets so tight, its hard as a rock. I love to run and this is really disappointing.

I'm sorry about your injury. But I see you're still being consistient, as your body allows with the injury. That's awesome. Keep up the great work!

 

Try not to be overly obsessed with the scale. While it is a great tool, it doesn't give you a complete picture. Have you taken progress photos recently? Those will tell you more than the scale will. So will body measurements and how your clothes fit. It's your body comp (% lean mass vs % body fat) that matters. The scale sometimes will stay around the same weight, even though your body comp is changing.

Hey Zach! Hope you're doing well and hanging in there! I know how frustrating the scale can be. Mine hasn't budged one bit in the 2.5 months I've been at it, but I am consistently getting compliments from people, so I guess things are changing, even if the scale isn't. Hopefully, you're experiencing something similar! Have a great day, Zach!
