Hi everyone. I’ve been working to lose weight since April 1st of this year, and so far I’ve lost around 50 or so pounds, and this has been fluctuating about 1 or 2 pounds since the 14th of this month. I wasn’t really working out much until August 25th, when I started swimming and doing cardio/weight lifting five times a week. It helped my weight loss progress, and I can tell my stamina has improved. Overall, I feel much more agile and energetic than in the past.
However, I’ve been sitting at the same weight for the past two weeks. My weight went up on September 13th to 357, then swiftly dropped to 354 the next day. After that, the stagnation occurred with little fluctuations in between. I’ve experienced a small plateau before, and I simply stopped eating at like 8 pm or so to help with weight loss, but this time even that is not working. Is it water fluctuation? Is my body holding onto weight? Am I building muscle?
My main concern is this: what can I do to kick this plateau? Should I start working out more? I feel like I don’t eat a lot (1700-2000 cal a day) and I don’t want to cut even more because I fear that such restriction could cause a binge. Should I just wait it out and the progress will come along? I have about 200 lbs to go and I don’t want this to be my “set weight”. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! ❤️
