@eleos I’m sure there’s a more specific definition but it’s when you either shift from fat to muscle or the reverse without changing weight.

@eleos I wonder if after such a large drop in weight you’ve been recomping over the last few months as your body adjusts to a new normal. I’m sure it’s frustrating to not see scale progress after so much hard work but you’ve already had a ton of success! Best of luck with your continued efforts.

@eleos It sounds like you have a very active lifestyle but your body has hit a bit of a plateau. I’m definitely not an expert but if carbs are the only macro you’re tracking I’d suggest also tracking protein for a couple of weeks to see if you’re getting enough. I absolutely hate tracking food...

@intermediary Ah, yes I worded that poorly. I was trying to get a read on androgen and adrenal hormones, which should not be affected by my form of birth control. Sounds like you had a difficult but rewarding path figuring things out!

@intermediary Thanks so much for the detailed response! I too have been frustrated with the advice to suck it up from Drs, and have also been told that testing hormones would be useless without me coming off birth control.

@intermediary If you don’t mind me asking, what bloodwork markers were you working on initially for tracking hormone balance (or maybe inflammation)?
