Hi, hoping to gain some insight on my current weight loss plateau.
Background is since November last year I have gone from approx 180kg [396lbs] (scale maxed out at 180kg [396lbs] so not really sure) to currently at 137kg [302lbs], so approx 43kg [94lbs] lost through strict calorie control and logging as well as fairly inconsistent gym sessions.
This last month I have stepped up at the gym and have been consistently hitting 5-6 days per week of mostly weight lifting with some light cardio.
I have generally been losing around 1kg a week up until this point where I have started to gain weight over the last couple weeks to the point where I've basically achieved nothing this last month despite working harder then ever and maintaining a 400-500 calorie deficit from my BMR.
I figure my BMR to be 2338.25 based on my current weight and height of 181cm so I should be in 400-500 calorie deficit.
This is very frustrating as I feel like I am doing everything right only to achieve nothing. I really wanted to get below 120kg by the end of the year and I was tracking well for this but this goal seems no longer achievable.
Here is my recent weight gain (ignore 2023 where I gained all the weight I had lost back after a bad break up):
Here is what my workout history looks like:
Here's my typical weights program followed by 15 minutes of cardio:
Here is my calorie intake and estimated expenditure, switched to MacroFactor recently but I was using MyFitnessPal with the same targets and consistency previously:
Here is my new program from this mornings check in:
Any advice would be great, the new goal of 1600 calories seems really low to me given my BMR and activity level, should I trust the app here?
The weight gain seems too extreme to me to be attributed to muscle gain but I can't understand how I am gaining weight given how hard I am working.
Cheers.
