    3 Months In and No Progress (29 F)

    @cmdaniels1986 I’d be more worried about your feet at this point. Do you have a podiatrist? In the interim superfeet and compression socks (like feetures) can help. Yoga can help too. Since you’re at a healthy weight, losing will be difficult. Losing weight at a noticeable pace will probably...

    What to do next?

    @gordon_b The closer you get to a “healthy” weight, the harder it is to lose. Weight lifting is probably helping you recomp—how do your clothes fit? Cardio will improve your cardio fitness which is important, but as far as fat loss goes, cardio is only going to help if it increases your deficit...
