Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster!
I started my weight loss journey almost 8 weeks ago by calorie counting (I eat around 1400-1500 a day, sometimes a bit less when I’m planning for a bigger meal at the end of a week), weight training, and walking. I was never in the overweight category, but I was at the upper end of average, and I had been a competitive dancer all my life so I had always been active.
I lost the first few pounds pretty quickly, that was expected, and then it slowed down around the time I got to 139, which I also anticipated. But since I hit 135.0 almost three weeks ago, it’s been a slow crawl down to 134, and I can’t seem to get any lower.
I’ve read a lot of different articles and posts on hitting plateaus and losing the last few pounds as you approach a goal weight, but I don’t really know what approach to take? I’ve considered reverse dieting but I’m scared it might undo the progress I’ve made. I’ve tried lowering my calorie intake slightly, but it hasn’t made any difference and if I drop it anymore I’d probably be hovering into the extreme range.
If anyone has any advice, especially people who’ve been in the same position, please let me know! I could really use it!
