I am 5’7” and was 222 at my heaviest in June 2023.
I slowly lost weight, by eating at a deficit. Logging my weight daily, logging my food daily. After losing 30lbs I started walking. Eventually I’m about 10 months I lost 45-50lbs then got pregnant early last year. I got up to about 195, then 175 after their birth. I kept eating well and logging etc while pregnant.
Last month or so I had gotten as low as 164 but haven’t progressed beyond that and keep finding I go right back to 168-170.
In March I began swapping my walking for running. I ran a half marathon and since have begun training for a marathon. I’m running another half marathon in a few weeks, and my marathon is in the fall.
My training is pretty intense and leaves me pretty hungry. I’ve noticed that with my training I feel and look pretty good but I’ve gained a little weight I’m about 170. I can move back down to 165 with minor adjustments but it feels like my goal of 145 is never going to happen.
Anyone have advice? I’ve always “eaten back” my exercised calories. And it never hindered my progress. But maybe because I’m burning so many more calories in my runs, I shouldn’t be eating it all back?
Could this be muscle? I just truly want to get to 150 in the next few weeks but I’m not sure if buckling down with my eating will effect my running progress. I’ve already cut my time down 2 minutes per mile and feel so proud of that! But I also really want to look and feel more confident this summer.
Please help 🙏🏼❤️
