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?

Alright, it makes sense. Instant 10kg more load is fairly taxing. I noticed that as well! Thank you for the tips!

I just want to let you know that I'm not discouraging you from using your weight vest, at all. I actually think they're more valuable than people give them credit for. Just give yourself the room to stick with it and don't burn yourself out.
