Hello, and thank you for readying! As my title says, I have been maintaining weight and staying within the same 10 lb range for months now.
I started my weight loss journey in August of 2019 when I weighed 337 lb. Today, I weigh 286 lb. I’ve hovered in the 280 lb to 290 lb range since mid/late November. I am beyond proud of myself for how far I’ve gotten, but this plateau is starting to get to me.
From that time until now, every day I weigh myself, it’s been in that range (I find I get a more accurate weight if I weigh myself daily and take the average at the end of the week). I’ve switched up my diet, from a low fat, high carb/protein diet to one where it’s mostly protein. I use MyFitnessPal to track daily macros. I’ve switched up my workouts from cardio centered to strength centered (4x a week) with some cardio mixed in (1-2x a week). Neither switch helped.
I’ve also tried changing my caloric intake. My thought all along was that I’ve been miscalculating my TDEE. For someone my height (5’7”) and who works a desk job, getting an accurate reading was hard since every website calculated it differently. I’m currently taking in ~2300 calories a day, assuming my TDEE is 2800 calories. But still,no changes.
I know you’re probably thinking that this is a plateau and I’ll get over the hump soon enough. But a plateau that lasts 6 months and doesn’t react to changes in diet/exercise is different. Has anyone experienced this/know someone what has, and know any tips to help me get over it? Any diet/exercise recommendations as well?
Thank you!
