    I feel like I'm doing everything right - drinking water, calorie deficit, counting macros, getting enough vitamins, sleeping, exercising, etc. - but the scale is going the wrong way. Meanwhile, my run is getting faster, and I'm losing inches, so I'm trying to not get discouraged. I just feel like I'm too heavy/early in my weight recovery journey for my muscles to start outweighing fat already. Even though the metrics tell me I'm gaining muscle and losing fat, the scale can be such a mental downer. So I set an appointment to get my body composition measured at the end of the month.

    You are down 4.4 pounds in three weeks. That's not the wrong way! Do you weigh daily? I recommend it. Use a tending app to separate the signal from the noise. I think you got it right that you're too early in your journey to really see a pattern. Keep doing what you're doing. You are on the right track.

    Also, be aware that if you are exercising a LOT, you could be seeing water weight associated with muscle repair. You won't see muscle mass this quickly; that's almost given unless you're really new at it.

    It's amazing how small changes in routines, can make or break progress. Hang in there everyone. Keep taking as good a care of yourself as you're able, restart and recommit every day and don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't move downward. Did you eat good food today? Did you get some exercise, move your body? Did you do something today that contributed toward better health? Can you feel good about what you did for yourself, your body, your dreams? Enjoy it. Be proud of it. Even if it's just itsy bitsy steps (like showing up here). Everything is a process. We're in this together and we can do it.
