Hi all!
Quick background: I'm 26, male, maintenance 2250kcal (assuming sedentary), 1700 average intake, starting weight 278lb, current weight 237lb.
I started my weight loss journey on July 27th doing diet only, I started with alternate day fasts for 2 months where I did a day of 2500kcal followed by a day of 500kcal. Eventually that tired me out and I switched to a daily 1500kcal to keep the same deficit balance.
About 1.5 months ago I started introducing walking (walking pad at home, 2mph pace) and resistance training. Ever since then it feels like my weight loss has slowed down pretty heavily, at only about 6lbs in the last month (compared to a 8-10lb/month trend for the 3 months before).
I'm tracking all my caloric intake and weighing everything for maximum accuracy, here and there I have to guess when I go out but I'm very generous with my estimates. I average 1700kcal a day including my cheat days.
This isn't a "I'm doing everything right but it's not working" post but I just don't feel like my efforts are being fairly represented by my results. Is this a plateau? How do I push though/Do I need to change anything?
In the end I'm going to continue pushing through I'm not going to let this hump stop me, but it would be nice to know why things seemed to have slowed down so much. Thanks : )
