Finally overcame the dreaded plateau. For two weeks, the scale was stuck at 185 despite 5 hours a week if MISS cardio, another 5 hours of weight training, increased potassium and water, reduction of sodium and carbs and a 1800 calorie diet. Water retention can be a big psychological barrier to the morning weigh ins.

The last few lbs can be the hardest. As you get smaller, you burn fewer calories. Your workouts will build muscle if you are getting enough protein. Muscle does weigh more than fat. If your body is looking better, maybe muscle is replacing fat? Muscle burns more calories, so weight loss will resume as your body burns more calories. Also, keep in mind that strenuous exercise can cause inflamation (water weight). That's temporary, you will lose lbs.

I think it was a combo of water retention and recomposition. I get about .7 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Tuna and whey protein have been a good cheat code as they're cheap both in cost and calories and the thermic effect should help with the cut. With the recent drop in weight, I'm averaging 1% body mass loss per week, which in to my goal per most YouTube coaches
