I'm 1m69 (5"6), start weight: around 69kg (152 lbs), goal weight: 60kg (132 lbs). I am currently at 61kg and just cannot. lose. the. last. damn. kilo.
I started in November eating 1400 cal/day, one cheat day a week (usually a pizza on friday night). I slowly added exercises as well (running 3x week). Gradually I got less hungry and after three weeks I would often eat 1200 cals/day because I wouldn't be hungry for more. I got down to 62kg just before Christmas, then took a 3-week break when I went to visit my parents (didn't go completely crazy, but I didn't count calories and ate Xmas food and took a break from running as well). When I came back I had gaines 1 kg, lost it in the first week, then lost another kg the week after and now it has been two weeks where I keep on oscillating between 60.7 and 61.2, even though I never go over 1400 calories (I don't really manage to stick to 1200 though because I get too hungry), except that one cheat day. I started running again last week thinking it would help but I actually gained weight (granted, it's only 0.1kg) in one week.
I don't really understand as I feel I am doing exactly the same thing I did before but it's not working anymore. Unless my kitchen scale went crazy but I don't think so...
Also, it kind of worries me as when I reach 60kg I would like to start eating at maintenance (1700 calories more or less) but if I gain weight eating 1400, what will happen when I eat at maintenance?
Is this one of those famous weight loss plateaus? What is the best way to get out of it? Kind of frustrating since I'm so close to my goal...
Thanks for the help!!!
