    It can be a bit like climbing a mountain, sometimes you gotta stay at a certain height for a while to let your body acclimatise and get used to your new lifestyle.

    Without a strict exercise routine it can get harder/slower the closer you get to that goal. I’d say don’t beat yourself up, make maintenance the goal for a bit while making little changes until you’re ready to push on.

      Yeah, one of the setbacks is that I have to spend more time at home with my disabled family member, so I couldn’t make it to the gym as frequently.

      I have gotten stuck at some “plateaus” before, and this ~100kg is one I’ve been at before. It took me nearly 3 months of discipline to break through it last time. I have to quit cheating as often, and not give up again.
