Lost 10lbs in 2 weeks but have now plateaued. Please help

Hi all

Started my weight loss journey on June 1st with a starting weight of255lbs. Now I’m holding steady at around 245/246. I’m 5”8/5”9 and am eating around 1500 calories per day and burning around 600-800 of active calories according to my Apple Watch (this is a mixture of around 10k steps a day, 10km on the bike at the gym, around 10mins of cross trainer and 20mins of basic weights.

The first two weeks I literally dropped 10lbs like it was nothing, however now I’m stuck at around 245 and it won’t go lower. Is this normal? As mentioned above, I’m eating 1500 calories, and am sticking to like gluten free bread, light mayonnaise etc to keep my calorie count down, but should I also be looking at macros? According to MFP I’m eating around 100g of carbs (52%), 24g of fat (26%) and 44g of protein (22%) as part of my 1500 calories.

It’s the best feeling ever waking up and seeing the numbers decrease on the scale, and I would love your help to understand why it’s stopped. Thanks all!
