Hi everyone — I’m feeling a bit discouraged and could really use your advice or support.
Background: I’m 29 F 5’8¾”, started my weight loss journey at 190 lbs in Sept 2024, and got serious in November at 180 lbs As of today, I’m down to 166 lbs. My goal is 140–145 lbs
Routine: From Nov to Jan, I was strict with tracking, walking 15–20k steps/day, and eating in a deficit. February: still very active but tracked food less carefully. March: setback month — less movement, ate freely, gained ~6 lbs. April & May: recommitted hard — ate 1500–1700 cal/day, walked 10–15k steps/day, and lost most of the regain.
My issue now is with May & June — my weight loss has slowed significantly.
Here’s a breakdown of my recent weigh-ins April 1: 178 lbs (post-binge) April 26: 169.8 lbs May 13: 168.6 May 27: 165.8 June 13: 166.2
So from April 1 to June 13, I’ve lost ~12 lbs, but the pace slowed from 2 lbs/week in April to less than 0.5–0.6 lbs/week in May and June.
I’m staying consistent — eating 1500–1700 calories, walking 10–15k steps/day, drinking water, and trying to keep sodium reasonable.
Questions: Is this slowdown normal? Do I need to adjust calories again now that I weigh less? Should I start strength training or change something else to speed things up?
I really want to reach my goal, and I’m committed, but I’m starting to feel stuck . Any help or advice would be appreciated 🫶🏾
