I’d agree here the last few weeks I was still 4-5 lbs more than I wanted to be yet I felt so much stronger on the big rides I did end of Feb and beginning of March it took a few more weeks even to just lose 1-2 lbs.I know Monday's weigh in isn't always the greatest for me. I find that it's the highest after a weekend of food. And by Friday I get back down - but I've been hovering at the same weight each Friday. I've been struggling with fueling for activity and not over doing it. Still eating whole foods/nothing processed during the week. I'm battling the thoughts of I want to lose that 5 pounds I gained - and I'm also the strongest I've ever been...
I stopped focusing on the weight every week and just keep managing my food plans for my workouts and any big rides (ie carb loading and hydration) and it seems to be working so far but I know everyone’s different.
One thing I always keep in mind is “maintaining is not gaining” and that’s also a win.
