No inches, lbs lost but I gained a new vein?

iKristine

So I am at a plateau. I lost 20 lbs over 3-4 months steadily with 1200-1400 calories and exercise regularly, (strength train 3x week, walking 3 miles 4 days). But then nothing.... for like 2 weeks. I did up my calories for fear I might be riding too low, have yet to see those results. But I'm not gaining, so that's a plus I suppose.

While the scale hasn't budged, nor the inches anywhere I can tell, I did suddenly see a new vein in my neck. An anterior jugular vein.

I have never had a vein like that in my life! So I measured my neck, and lost 0.5"

How weird is that? I have a metabolic breath test coming in January, and I will get a HRM after christmas. Hopefully then I can see what exactly I need to eat to get this flowing again.

Anyone else have this sort of weirdness?

Now that is an accomplishment! You wear a lovely necklace to show off your lovely neck!

yes i got a neck vein come through at about 142lb....apparently as you body fat % lowers you will see these major veins, i now have one starting from each groin running all the way up my obliques over my ribs and also one running from my hand over my thumb joint up my forearm each side!

I hated them to begin with but i quite like them now
