Bit of background. I’m a Male, 23 yrs old, 6’2”, and currently 119.5kg (263lbs). Started at 136.9kg and in October last year I ended up getting down to 114.3kg until I fell off for a few months (mainly due to Christmas and new year, plus my fiancé’s grandmother passed away which was hard). At the start of the year I went back up to 126kg, and as of today I see myself back to 119.5kg and have been super happy with my dedication and progress so far. My goal is 95kg, which when I reach it, I will then re-evaluate my next goal.
I work out 6 days a week, with gym sessions consisting of a push/pull/leg split on seperate days, and also a light 30 min walk at the end of each session. My currently calorie intake is 2000 a day and have been hitting this consistently for about 2 months now. For a while I was losing anywhere from 500g - 1kg each weekly weigh in.
However, for the last few weeks my weight loss has appeared to stall. On the 3rd March, I was 119.7kg, and the next week on the 10th March, I remained the exact same weight. On today’s weigh in, the 17th March, I weighed in at 119.5kg, and I’m happy that I lost weight, a loss is a loss right, however I’m just a little concerned that how much it’s stalled over the last few weeks.
After reflection, I’ve come up with some thoughts as to what’s happening. Firstly, I don’t think it has anything to do with my normal daily caloric intake of 2000. In fact, I feel like I’m in quite a big deficit based on my height and weight as well as the amount of exercise I do, but it’s been working for me and I never feel the need to binge, so I’ve stuck with it, but I could be wrong and may need to re-evaluate this. The only thing I could think of that may be slowing down my progress could be my cheat meal which is every Saturday night and I’ve done this since I’ve begun to lose weight and have had no issues. I’ll normally have a burger and chips, or pizza as my two choices, as well as some alcohol. I try to go with lower carb beers usually as they are lower in calories. Could it be that because I’m a lower weight now, I need to re-evaluate my calorie intake over a weekly basis, and possibly lower my daily calorie intake?
Other than that, I really can’t think of what could be slowing things down. And to clarify, I’m by no means panicking, as I’m aware of how a calorie deficit works, I’m just wondering if I’m doing anything wrong as I’m worried that next weeks weigh in could show me staying the same weight again or dropping very little? Just seeking some advice.
