This is honestly a rant because I'm frustrated at this process.
I've been eating at a deficit since September with a starting weight of 210 (36 F). I consume about 1400 - 1600 calories per day because I rapidly lost 80 lbs before at 1200 calories a day and I hated it. Slower was fine with me, as long as I saw progress and felt better. It is now March and I am at 210.5. I also knew I was going to start weight lifting so I didn't want to eat too low of calories.
Timeline:
September to December: Focused only on eating at a deficit and I managed to get down to 205 lbs.
January - Now: I started incorporating weight lifting and cardio into my routine while still eating 1400 - 1600 calories. I do strong lifts 3x per week, cardio dance 3x per week, walking 30+ minutes per day. I did take a week off from cardio dance and lifted only one day when I went on vacation. After vacation I shot back up to 210 and I've been there ever since.
I have a doctor's appointment next week to discuss this because I'm honestly at a loss. I measure and weigh my food, I'm active, and I'm eating at a deficit. Like I said, I've lost 80 lbs before about 12 years ago, and it was never this hard to lose weight. It was difficult in other ways, but I was able to easily lose weight. I do have a bit of a buffalo hump so that paired with this weight loss struggle makes me wonder if it's cushings (which I'll bring up to my doctor).
This sucks because I feel like I'm doing everything right and I'm not seeing the scale budge at all.
