In the past couple of years I lost over 40 lbs (F | 5’8 | SW: 185 | CW: 145 lb | GW: 135lb ). Looking back at the data on my LoseIt account I find myself sticking to my daily calorie intake and losing weight consistently when I don’t go to the gym. Once I lost 30 lbs I started working out (lifting and cardio) and I became ravenous!!! I would eat at my maintenance and sometimes above, get frustrated and stop counting, which lead to maintaining my weight and not losing anything. This became incredibly frustrating as for the past 13 months I maintained at 148 lb. A couple of weeks ago I decided to stop going to the gym and only do some walking (~ 7k steps/day). I focused on calorie counting and increased protein and fiber intake, and omg I’m finally losing some more weight and getting closer to my GW! I know the gym is important for muscle growth and mental health but I’m sick of staying at the same weight while working so hard at the gym and not seeing any results.
How’s your experience with weight loss and working out?
