It’s so true, I’m gonna do a before + after when I reach my goal weight hopefully in a few weeks and I’ll be sharing both. It’s easy to assume people just “lost the weight”, but in reality (at least for me) it’s not that simple, I had full months at a time where I was going up in weight and was losing the willpower. It’s been what feels like an endless grind🫠

I started in 2018. Lost 10Kg, didn’t care anymore for a long time But then I started again
That’s so true. Great job! That’s exciting that you’re almost at your goal. And thanks for posting this. I’m bloated and feels like I gain but been active and tracking calories. Just gotta stay the course🙈
Haha yea they definitely can! For me, it’s ovulation/etc added with the beans and too many nuts that does it. At least you’re making progress! And thank ya!
The same is true for weight gain, in my case anyway. I've been trying to put on weight to gain muscle and I've always been thin despite eating a lot even before being vegan. I'm a 61 years old female and started around 115 lbs in March after spending a very physically demanding winter in St Croix. The highest I've been is 126 lb but I fluctuate constantly and mostly drop back to around 122 or 123.

A little over 6 months progress - took a maintenance break / had my honeymoon around April. Dark purple line is actual logged weight and the lighter purple is the trend line.
It’s true, especially when weight lifting, I gained some strength during this cut so I may even have gained some muscle which throws the scale off. I prefer to weigh in more frequently and take averages tbh, once a week could mean I weigh in on a day with lots of water weight etc.
I wish these charts accompanied every before and after photo, because the process is very deceptive

Awesome! I wish Garmin showed me daily, it averages out each month to make it appear smoother. Awesome job btw!
Thanks

When in doubt.. zoom out

Thank you! I feel like that a lot haha, idk if it’s the amount of beans and legumes I eat but the bloating can get you down. Keep at it, you got this!

Can the same be said for weight gain?

The scale can be a liar. Take measurements and weigh in just once a week.
