Hi all, I'm 23F. I started my journey about a year ago after putting on about 15 pounds my junior-senior years of college. After graduating, I started going to the gym 5 times a week and working out all summer to no weight loss - but some muscle tone!
Since then I have maintained that schedule. I am vegetarian and I don't eat a lot - really. I save the bulk of my calories for dinner. I only drink water, tea, and coffee on the weekends only. I do have a sweet tooth but it is always after dinner and not every day. I'm not much of a snacker either, and I do tend to go towards healthier options because that's what we have. Despite all of this, I've gained 5 pounds in the last few months.
I have two problems. 1. I don't get full, and 2. I'm vegetarian so many sources of protein are carbs. Plus I am trying to go from 160lbs to 140lbs and I'm wondering if maybe I'm going about meals the wrong way. 20 pounds shouldn't be hard, right? Wrong. I don't know the best way to lose a little bit of weight.
I also am a free spirited person and not one to go by schedules, rules, etc. It's soooo hard for me to track, log, and weigh every single item I eat. It's mentally exhausting and goes against everything in me. I eventually stop after a day or so and eat until I'm full. Any advice from people who feel similarly on this is appreciated.
Really, any help is appreciated. I'm 5'7", 160 pounds, size 8/10. Since the quarantine, I've been walking/jogging at least 3.5 miles a day (~8,000 steps/day) 5 times a week since the gym is closed. Plus I've been running with my dog around our backyard (and house), shooting basketball, etc. a lot more.
Side note: For my height, I know 160 is a good weight, but I've got so much belly and leg chub I'd like to get rid of. It would be different if it was muscle or something.
