Hi loseit! I’ve been an active member of this community for years but have created this throwaway account to ask this question. Everyone always has such great advice here.
Quick background: I’m a 26F and fairly tall (5’7”). My weight loss journey started at the beginning of the quarantine - I’d just come off an awful stomach parasite that left me hospitalized and my weight was a mess - couldn’t keep anything down, then pumped up with sodium and fluids, I was a disaster. I started at ~138 lb and the quarantine catapulted me into weight loss.
I will admit I did not lose the weight smartly. I hit my goal weight of 128 lb in June 2020 by severely under eating. I continued the deficit and got down to 120 lb by the end of the year. But in 2021, things went nuts. I started bingeing again and weight slowly came back on. It’s been a pretty crazy cycle of binge/restrict for the first half of the year and I’ve gained some weight back. But I’ve been on track for about a month now and am at a crazy low deficit and my weight is totally stagnant. I should be losing weight and I’m just not.
Has anyone had this happen to them? I think my metabolism is just unresponsive because my body is so starved. How do I rev my metabolism back up? Do I up my calorie intake? Do I up my protein intake? If so, how? Any advice or personal stories would be so appreciated!
