    Good morning. I have read the following on the internet.

    Walking is an resistance exercise and therefor increase your bone density. Which in return increase your body weight. But if your weight stays the same, you are actually loosing fat.

    I have been on a plateaus for the last 2 months. Done some investigation. I have increases my steps since August from about 7200 steps a day to 8500-9500 a day. And it is since then, that I stayed on the same weight. How I see it now, correct me if I am wrong. I have increased bone density, but loosing fat, and therefor my body is more healthy?

    Any views on this?

    Neither you nor the OP are gaining enough bone density to balance out fat loss. And honestly, that isn’t a massive increase in steps per day. Any improvement is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s still a relatively modest improvement. The OP has thyroid issues so I really can’t speak to what’s happening with her, but I think you might just be grasping for straws and really just need to decrease the number of calories you’re consuming.
