Pungja says weight loss has stalled after 33kg drop

YouTuber Pungja said she has reached a plateau after losing 33kg during the July 19 broadcast of SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy.'

The episode showed Um Ji-yoon and Pungja visiting Han Hye-jin's home. Pungja said, 'I recently hit a plateau. Not even 100g would come off. It is really driving me crazy.'

Pungja said she tried fasting for a day after hearing it could help break through the plateau, but added that the weight still did not come off. She said the situation has been giving her a headache lately.

Han Hye-jin described the plateau as a set point and said the body has to break through it to move lower. She said she overcame it through hiking, adding that after hiking for about 4 hours, that range broke.

Pungja said she resented Han Hye-jin early in her diet because Han gave her many blunt comments. Pungja said that after she lost 7kg and went to see her, Han asked, 'Is that what you call losing weight?'

Han Hye-jin responded that she had actually said, 'Did you really lose weight?' Pungja added that she became determined, lost another 3kg and returned, only to hear Han say, 'Now the swelling has gone down.'

I overcame it through hiking. After I went hiking for about 4 hours, that range broke.
