My SW on July 1st (of this year) was 202.3 lbs. Being over 200 lbs is what motivated me to start really trying to lose weight. I am now down to 195.4 lbs, but this feels incredibly slow. I did the math and since this is about 7 lbs lost over 11 weeks, that accounts for ~0.6 lbs/week. I was originally aiming for 1 lb/week and 0.4lbs less a week really adds up over time.
For context I'm 5'9 F, currently aiming for ~1600 kcals/day, with Friday and Saturday set a bit higher at ~1900 kcals/day. I'm in my late 20's and this gives me wiggle room when going out with friends on the weekends. My GW is 150 lbs and after only losing 7lbs in almost 3 months this feels so far away. I don't do too much weight training due to chronic pain and it tending to cause flare ups, so my protein goal is set at 90g/day and fiber at 23g/day. I have been moving my body more in general though with walks, smart hooping, etc. I'm not perfect like any human and these are ideals, and while I don't hit them every day I usually get pretty close.
Has anyone else had really slow weight loss or is it normal to just lose 0.6 lbs/week? I know plateaus are normal but that's all I've really had😅 I'm not trying to crash diet and have the loss be unsustainable, but damn.
