Hi together,

recently (over the last 6 months) I lost about 13 kgs, my "fat loss" feels like it has been stalling a bit and I've been in a caloric deficit for quite a while. Albeit a comfortable deficit but according to my calculations still around 500 kcal.

I purchased this 10kg weighted vest and have been wearing it during normal daily activities (walking, working at a standing desk etc.). Only for a few hours so far. It's comfortable enough to wear it prolonged times, and I'm looking forward to my first hike and some light runs with it.

What are your experiences with weighted vests? How do you use them? How do you incorporate them into everyday live without it being weird?

Thank you!

Re 1: I've got the caloric deficit realigned over every now and then. It's about the last few percentage of body fat. Trying to see how far I can get/if I can get shredded for the first time in my life before my mid30s body decides to never allow it again LOL (JK).

Re 2: That's actually possible, it's so hard to see this tho on a day to day basis. I haven't taken regular progress pictures or anything so I'm hardly noticing the diff. For a long time it was easy to go by weight and BF reported by my xiaomi scale.
