My scale is sprinting but my battery keeps calling in sick and I am just so tired all the time

Tbh ten weeks in and I'm down 28 pounds, which genuinely feels unreal. The weird part: my energy didn't get the memo.

I used to bulldoze through a full day of meetings and a workout; now I'm yawning through a 2pm call and my legs feel like wet sand halfway up a stair set. Sleep is solid (7.5-ish hours), protein is hovering around 110g, water bottle is basically surgically attached.

So the loss is loud and the energy is quiet. Anyone else find the crash showed up after the scale started moving fast? What did your afternoons look like once you were a couple months in?

I’m a spreadsheet person too—weight, protein, steps, sleep, energy 1–10, plus grocery cost per gram protein. My week-10 slump tracked with days I was under ~1,500 kcal and under ~2,000mg sodium. Protein was fine; electrolytes/carbs were not.

I started logging sodium/potassium in Cronometer (free) and added a banana + pretzels before stairs. Legs stopped feeling like wet sand in about four days. Sleep was never my issue either.

Are you tracking sodium/potassium, or just the water bottle? That’s the next number I’d look at.
