I (F23) have been trying to lose weight on and off since 2022. I started at 215lbs and in 3months I lost 37lbs on weight watchers, but I was starving and sick most of the time. It wasn’t sustainable. I gained most of it back 205lbs. I joined noom and lost 20 in 2 1/2 months but failed to keep disciplined and wasn’t exercising. I gained most back 195, but was able to maintain it.
January 2024, my doctor recommended weight loss medication based off my attempts and failures, but after learning more about it I didn’t feel I was disciplined enough. I started weight watchers again it didn’t last long. In April I said forget weight loss let’s focus on muscle gain and learn to enjoy exercise.
I started weight lifting 3 days a week but I got bored and started looking for something else. I started a pole dancing class in June, I fell in love. I’ve been training 4-5 days a week for months without failure, (pole, and a mixture of hot yoga, weightlifting, and ballet and other dance, flexibility classes all classes are at least an hour long and my heart rate ranges from 140-170). But I’ve gained weight back to 205lbs, but I realize that some of that is muscle growth, I’m a lot stronger, graduated to the next level of pole and look it too ( muscle are actually visible ), waist has gone from 36inches to 34inches.
8 days ago I started to track what I eat, I didn’t change my eating habits though, I wanted to pinpoint my bad habits . (I made sure to track butter, dressings and any binge eating I did as well) I’m averaging 1850 calories a day, based off my BMR and TDEE I should be losing weight, but I’m not.
My goal is 150-160lbs, strong and healthy.
This brings me back to my question, is weight loss medication a good option? I’m worried I won’t be able to maintain my weight, and the negative effects the meds may have. Thoughts?
Btw: I’m 5’8”
