I've hit a bit of a wall in my weight loss journey, and I'm hoping for some advice from the community.
Since March of this year I have gone from 88.8 to 71.5 kilos. I've lost a similar amount of weight before, but this is the lowest that I've been, and the longest I've been here so I'm hoping that this time it sticks.
I eat between 1500 and 1700 calories a day, and follow a 18:6 or 20:4 intermittent fasting strategy almost every day. I attend gym classes three times a week, doing HIIT and circuits for a combined two hours, outside of gym I try to walk for at least 6000 steps each day.
My ultimate goal was to get down below 70 kilos, probably stopping at 68 or 69. The problem that I'm having is that my weight loss has slowed to a crawl, and my waist measurements aren't budging and indeed haven't budged for a while. Over the past few weeks I have managed maybe 0.3 kilos a week, but I don't see what else I can do without putting myself at risk of undereating.
The belly fat thing is a particular concern, as I know that a waist of 90cm or below is considered safe in men and I'm at p89, so fairly close to the edge. There is also a self confidence aspect, in that I've always wanted to have a flat stomach and not worry about my body in that sense.
I understand that experiencing this sort of thing once you get near your goal weight is fairly common, and I wanted to ask how you all got past it?
