Hello!
5'4 and starting weight of 195.
About four weeks ago, I started (hopefully for the last time) on my new healthier lifestyle. Normally, what I do is just calorie counting/restriction and occasional exercise here and there, but this time I decided to join a gym and I've been working through a strength training program 4x a week with a trainer.
Normally when I decide to cut calories and track, I lose about 4-5 lbs in the first week (which I know is mainly water) and then about 2 lbs per week after that until I get bored and quit.
This time, though, I'm losing like .5 lbs per week. I'm currently at 193 after 4 weeks.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong - my trainer has told me to eat 1900 calories per day which is way higher than I normally eat when I'm trying to lose weight, so I've been keeping to 1400-1500 instead. I'm diligently weighing and tracking so I really don't think calories are the issue. I think one time I forgot to log a banana, but that's all.
But I must not be doing it right because my weight loss is SO MUCH SLOWER than normal and it's so discouraging. Should I try to cut down to 1200 calories? Or should I be introducing more cardio maybe or lifting more?
I hate strength training as it is, so doing it and not seeing results is making me want to stop :(
Any advice would be greatly appreciated <3
