Hi all! I'm new to posting, long time lurker, so I hope this is formatted correctly!
I've been dieting for two months now, SW: 297, CW: 262. I'm eating 1200calories a day with a max of 20g carbs (keto) focusing on protein. I don't go to the gym yet or do any proper exercise, but my job requires me to be on my feet all day.
At the start because of water weight my weight just fell off, and I got down to 275 in basically a month. I'm aware this is common in the beginning, and weight loss slows. However, in the past month since I've been stalling pretty hard. Every pound lost is great, but then I sit at that pound and fluctuate for sometimes a week before I go down to the next. Just these past few days I've been staying 100% at 262 and it's driving me insane.
Being at such a large deficit, and at such a large weight, should this be happening? I understand 1-2Ibs a week is healthy, but given my current situation is it right to be going this slow? I've been staring at the scale for days and it's really messing with me haha.
And if it is supposed to be like this, how do you guys get through periods of demotivation? I've read a million posts talking about plateauing and expecting slow weightloss and how much the whole situation does suck, but I don't know how to get past it?
Sorry if this isn't the right thing for this sub, feel free to delete if not! Thank you :) I'm new to this whole thing, and I think I might be expecting a bit too much from my body
