I’m female, 22 years old, 5’4” HW: 350 LW: 215 CW: ~240
Hi, all. I’m very frustrated currently. I’m two years out from gastric sleeve surgery, and found that I seemingly can not force my body to loose any more weight. I was maintaining at 220/225 for about six months. I couldn’t make the scale budge. I gained twenty pounds when corona started out of stress, but after finally stepping on the scale a month and a half ago, I was absolutely gobsmacked to see I’m just 110 pounds from my highest weight.
I got back on logging and found I was eating about 2,200 calories a day. I cut it down to 1,500 and started IF. I exercise for 30-60 minutes every day (hiking, swimming or walking) and I move around at my job (no heavy lifting though) so 1,200 felt almost impossible, and every BMR calculator put me higher than that. But with IF and volume eating combined I now average 1300-1400, some days it does hit 1500.
I got on the scale today for the first time, after a cup of coffee...and it said 244?? I broke down crying for almost thirty minutes. My goal is 170, which I know is still grossly overweight for my height, but it just feels so unattainable. My family is breathing down my neck, since the surgery cost so much, and I’m constantly reminded how big I am by them and my doctors. I just feel so dejected and hopeless. I’ve posted this on other weight loss groups before, but the usual answer I get is that I must not be tracking my calories correctly. I am, I promise. And I don’t compensate extra calories when I exercise unless I get more than five hours of it (this is when I very occasionally do an all day hike). I’m hoping maybe here someone will have some advice?
