I’m 68 yo 5’8” w 278 lbs male. I started my weight loss journey 17 months ago at 345 lbs by doing a 2000 calorie a day diet and walking. When I first started walking was hard and painful, I could only manage a mile a day. I have arthritis in my back, knees, and shoulders. I had my hips replaced 3 years ago.
The weight loss was very slow and frustrating as I’m not a very patient man and wanted it to go much faster. After a couple of months I started being able to walk farther, so I moved it up gradually. I now walk 4-5 miles a day. Also a month ago I started a kickboxing class and 3 times a week.
I have been able to keep my daily calories at 2000 or less most of the time, and I watch my macros to make sure I get enough of each one. I have a calorie counting app and I track everything I eat as accurately as possible. I don’t drink any sugar filled drinks, mostly unsweetened tea or sparkling water.
I have hit a couple of plateaus over this time, but have always overcome them in a week or so. The last one my kickboxing instructor suggested I eat more fiber so I tried that and it worked, so I have continued that. But now I have hit one at 278lbs for the last 3 weeks and have not been able to shake it. Looking for suggestions to help me push thru it.
