No weight lost BUT there’s a happy ending

I weigh myself every two months and for the first time since logging in (245 day streak on MFP) I didn’t lose weight. I broke even on the scale but I’ve changed my diet (most significantly adding creatine) and lost some fat but gained muscle. And overall I still lost over 45 pounds.

Body recomp!!! After a while, it's fat loss that's the goal, not necessarily weight.

Congratulations!!!!

I've spent the last year doing a slow recomp after a massive weight loss (170lbs). I'm now back to losing more fat as I am happy with my musculature.

I’m in the process of doing this also after 185lb loss. Recomp is a tricky science but it appears to be going well.
