Currently 150. 5'3".
July '24 to Nov '24: Started at 185. I calculated my maintenance and it was 2300 calories. Started eating 1800 calories with strict counting and bountiful protein-rich whole foods and was 166lb by Nov. Yay! I also strength trained during this time.
Nov '24 to July '25: No man's land. My weight loss stalled BIG TIME. I played around with lowering my calories to 1650 fur a few weeks until I said fuck it and tabled returning to weight loss for later. I stopped counting calories and strength training by March.
July '25 to Oct '25: So, how much have I been eating during my weight loss break, anyways? Tracked my maintenance calories and it was 2300! Interesting. I weigh myself: I'm 160lbs. Cut my calories to 1750 and lost 10 lbs in 11 weeks. Yay! No strength training during this period; just daily 3-4 mile walks.
October '25: Wow, the scale hasn't been moving for a while now. Let me eat at maintenance for a week to see if that breaks things. Nope! Well, I'll go back to 1750 then. I take a vacation this week where I'm still tracking calories but walking everywhere...have to be clocking 6-8 miles everyday. Come back to the scale: no budge!
What gives? I'm so tired of this. I definitely have a lot of excess fat to go and I'm hoping to hit 138lb by New Years. Why is this plateau happening???
