Hi everyone, this is my first ever post on this sub, but I've been on a loseit "journey" since January 2018.
I started at my highest known weight of 261lbs and have been tracking through WeightWatchers ever since. I was having really great success, losing consistently 2lbs avg. per week up until the first week of August. I went to Europe to visit my sister and took the week off from tracking my food, but came back and got right back on it.
However, since then the scale has not really moved. I've fluctuated from the 215-212lbs range and now I'm really getting discouraged. This week I downloaded the FatSecret app and decided I would track calories for the week instead. I picked a daily intake of 1500 calories and have been measuring/weighing all my food and being really strict staying just under 1500 every day.
Today, I got on the scale and while I was 214.4 last Saturday, I'm now 215 even. I'm just so confused on where I'm going wrong and it's discouraging but I'm more motivated than ever to kick my weight loss back into high gear.
For exercise, I go to the gym about 5-6 days a week doing about 50-75 minutes of strength training and 20 minutes of steady-state cardio. I really enjoy going to the gym it's like my escape when I need a break from school/work/etc., it's not just something I do because I know that I have to.
Over the past 11 months, I've become really interested in fitness and health and I like learning more about it and putting the information to practical use. I'm desperate and eager for any tips/insight/critiques you might have! I'm going out of my mind and the rest of my family isn't really into this kind of stuff like I am.
I'm happy to provide any other kind of information you might think is important to help me out.
