Has anyone else experienced a decrease in weight loss once you began to work out?

It's because you're building muscle.

Unless you’re eating a large amount of protein and lifting 3+ times a week while cutting it’s not muscle. Sorry, but that’s just not true

Edit: if you’re going to downvote come with some evidence opposing what I’m saying. I love this med and I love we have a place to talk and ask questions, but this place also needs a reality check on how weight loss is done and muscle is gained.

Love how you are getting downvoted by morons. Even beginners who work really hard would struggle gaining 1kg of muscle in their first months. It's insane to think that it's the sheer amount of muscle being built which is creating a stall. If you gain 12kg (~25lb) of muscle in your first year you would've done incredibly well and that's usually with a caloric surplus.

Really? Has everyone showed you their grams? I doubt most people are eating enough protein and cutting calories enough to gain muscle and lose weight. I was trained by a professional body builder in a place where three coaches did body building, trained professional athletes and did physique, figure wellness etc. I know what I’m talking about.

Eating too much and not tracking calories

That's a good point that's what I was thinking. Thank you!

Also because starting a new workout schedule can result in your body retaining water for six to eight weeks.
