As the title says, I started my weight loss journey on January 7th at 163 kg (360 lb). I’ve made progress since then, but for the last 3 weeks my weight has been stuck and it’s starting to frustrate me a lot
Since February 5th, I’ve been doing a minimum of 10,000 steps every single day. Some days I do more, but 10k is my baseline. Right now, that’s my main form of activity. I’m not doing cardio workouts or lifting weights yet, just walking consistently every day
With food, I do try to stay in a calorie deficit. I’m not following a super strict diet, but I make a real effort to stay around a 500 to 1500 calorie deficit per day. I’m not perfect with tracking, but I’m usually mindful of what I eat and I try not to go overboard. I also try to eat more protein, but honestly my carbs usually end up being higher than I want
One thing that might matter is that I’ve been overweight basically my whole life, so this isn’t a situation where I was lean and then gained some weight recently. I’ve been heavy for as long as I can remember, which makes me wonder if that changes how I should approach things
I’m mainly looking for advice from people who’ve been through something similar. Is a 3-week plateau normal at my size? Should I start focusing more on macros, especially protein? Should I add weight training, cardio, or just stay patient and keep doing what I’m doing? I’m trying not to get discouraged, but I also don’t want to waste time doing the wrong thing
What would you suggest if you were in my position?
