I've been overweight all my life. The weight loss has come to halt in the last 2 weeks hovering around 182 pounds. Started my journey in January (again) with a pretty agressive cut at 1500 cal but saw that I wasnt losing weight for the first two weeks probably because I was overestimating.
I then dropped down to 1200 calories per day and started boxing aswell which worked out great for me the last 3 months. I wont say i started eating healthy, I eat pretty much the same food but a third of the quantity.
2 weeks ago I readjusted my calories back up to 1500 as I didn't want to lose too much too fast. Down almost 20 pounds now trying to push the last 15.
I go boxing 4-5 hours a week and the workouts are pretty intense and its something i really enjoy. Weightlifting is just so boring to me. Also started fasting (dawn till dusk) this month for Ramadan and my sleep has been taking a huge hit as we wake up around 5 am to eat before our fast and work starts at 9. Not getting the quality I used to get.
Im pretty sedentary throughout the day as I work from home and only leave my house to go boxing and the run errands. Now i fear itll be too hard to consistently box during the fast without water or carbs. And the gym closes when i break my fast. cant go to a late night gym as ive got work in the morning.
Any tips to continue the push through? Should I start lifting so I dont get that skinny fat look? I dont want to get stuck in this cycle of losing and gaining the same 20 pounds.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks and good luck to all of you.
