Hey!
So i've been an active gym goer for the last 5-6 years. I enjoy all different types of training. Mainly weight training.
I had to take two months off training from November 2021 to January 2022 (due to renovating my new home).
I have started back and doing 4 weighted circuit classes per week plus 4 20 minute cardio session.
Currently sitting at 1,757 calories per day, on rest days around 1,550/1,600. - i calories/carb cycle.
This morning i have done a little check in with myself and i have stayed the exact same weight i was on 3rd January. I can defiantly see changes with my progress photos. And i know i shouldn't get to hung up over the scales if i can see physical changes but it is still disheartening after all the hard work i'm putting in.
My sleep is great, my digestion is great. And i currently have very little stress in my life.
I just don't get it...
Any advice or shall i ride it out and good thing will come

You stopped working out and then started again. Obvious culprit would be water retention for muscle repair, masking fat loss on the scale.
Patience, I'd say 🙂5
