My weight loss has slowed down dramatically and without explanation. I religiously track all of my calories on Cronometer and have for the past 2 years. My exercise habits have not changed whatsoever (sedentary / work from home).
From June 2024 to January 2025 I lost 40 lbs, and from January 2025 to now I lost about 10 lbs. Now it's been a hard year for me with multiple family emergencies, so I've had some depression-related eating, but I've tracked all of my deficit / surplus to the best of my ability and use a food scale all the time. The rate at which I've lost weight this year is extremely weird, and I'm beginning to think something is wrong.
Recently, on 7/7/2025 I weighed 140.4 lbs, and on 9/26/2025 I weighed 139.4 lbs. Both measurements were taken with the exact same scale, at the same time of day, in my underwear, before breakfast and after pooping. My net deficit / surplus added together from the days in between is 17867 lost calories or 5.1 lbs if you divide by 3500. Even if I had somehow eaten alot one of those days, or if one of those days was explained by water weight, losing 1 lb of weight when I should have lost 5 is actually insane. What is going on?
Possible explanations:
I only eat out once a week but restaurant calorie counts are inaccurate and way higher?
My TDEE is somehow as low as someone in a coma?
I had my gallbladder taken out in January and that's affected it?
I'm just somehow not obeying the laws of physics?
