Feel stronger, but look and weigh the same.

Hey everyone Ive been trying to lose 10 pounds since April and my number on the scale and progress pictures don't show a change at all. Disappointed, but I know I'm getting stronger I'm able to do multiple push-ups and sit ups now while before I couldn't even do one! Woohoo! I've ordered a food scale so I can get a more accurate calorie count. I haven't logged any food this week because I wanted to try out the 21 day fix, and I hate it. Going back to calorie counting next week. Meal prepping is to much for me. I'd rather eat left overs for a few days and then make something new again. Any tips or anyone else stuck in this plateau?

Look, getting stronger on a cut while not losing weight it means one of the two or BOTH
1- either your workouts were successful and you gained strength-endurance.
2-Or your lost fat and built some muscle that's why your scale didn't move and your calisthenics got overally better.

Of course if you eat the leftovers you might hit a plateau. You don't know how many calories in the foods you eat or how much does the food you eat weigh.

losing weight is about calories in vs calories out, measure your calories right, go 500 calories below maintenance, you seem like someone who wants increase in strength, up your protein to 25-35% so you don't lose muscle

Good luck
