Stats: 34m / 5'8 / SW: 212 / CW: 192 / GW: ??? / Day 30-ish
Diet: 1600cal a day / 18:6 IF / Lots of lean protein and veggies w/ minimal carbs (not opposed to them!) and dairy at the moment. I cut out alcohol as well but good lord do I want a beer right about now.
Activity: Averaging 10-12k steps a day + random exercises here and there until I build out a proper gym plan.
One month ago I started my journey here thanks to the kind words and motivation of all you wonderful people. My goal is to lose weight (and feel great!), not necessarily sure how much, but a decent amount for sure. I'm starting to think 155 might be my sweet spot but I'm not committing to anything right now.
I weigh myself 3x a week (same scale and butt naked) and have noticed a steady decline in weight loss since the start. With that said, I just hit 20 pounds down in 30 days today and now I'm wondering if I'm dropping weight too fast.
I set MFP to 2 pounds a week and that has me eating 1,550 calories a day which I'm definitely meeting and not coming in dramatically under. I don't have an exercise plan yet, but I average 10-12k steps a day due to the fact that I walk 1.5 miles to the train (and then back) every morning for work. I should note that my FitBit report from last week said that my average daily calorie burn is 3,134, but I'm not sure how much I trust this thing as I feel like the steps are a bit exaggerated.
What's happening here? Is this normal? Do some people naturally have higher metabolisms? Do men lose at a quicker rate than women? Will I plateau soon? Or is this just a testament to how crappy my eating/drinking habits were before CICO?
