As the title suggests, I've been helping someone lose weight since last June, and we've come to a bit of a standstill in weight loss and so could use some help.
For context, this is a 60 y/o female, and since starting this (pretty basic) program I've put together, she has lost over 3.5st/22kg since June 2020. The program is around burning more calories than you consume, elementary stuff but I think has done a lot of good work up until now.
The basic principle is to work-out 5-6 times a week, with an active exercise calorie burn of 1500kcal, which is normally completed on an exercise bike as well as a Zumba class. This, coupled with a diet of 1200-1400kcal a day, means she is burning more than she is consuming once the additional calorie burn of day-to-day living/sleeping is added into the equation. She works at home on a computer due to Covid, so is living a more sedentary lifestyle than if she was commuting/going into an office...
We've now got to a point where for the past 2 weeks we are at a standstill at 16.02st/102Kg.
I wanted to ask the r/loseit community, what advice they could give me in order to try and stay on track and keep losing weight please? It would be interesting to know if the whole age thing is a factor in the slowing down of the weight loss too? Her goal is to reach the 13st/82Kg mark by next year so we've still got some work to do and would appreciate any guidance the community could give...
Thanks in advance!
