I am a 28yo female, 167cm tall, weighing 154kg. I have been stuck at my current weight for a month despite doing everything right. I KNOW I'm doing everything right as well, because this isn't my first rodeo. I used to weigh over 180kg (no clue what my actual starting weight was because the scale said error). I've lost at least 25kg already.
After I lost my first 25kg I took a mental health break (I was in a calorie deficit for over a year). This break was supposed to last 3 months - it instead lasted a year. Thankfully, I maintained the weight loss over that time despite being rather sedentary. During this break I still was being mindful of the foods I ate and was tracking, but just not as strictly as I was originally.
Last month I decided I needed to get back into it, and I have been religiously tracking my calories and measuring/weighing EVERYTHING, and increasing my activity levels.
For context my nutrition goals are currently:
2500 cals
180g protein
280g carbs
At least 2,500 steps a day at a minimum
On average I hit:
2300 cals
180g protein
220g carbs
5,000 steps a day
It has been a month and all I have done is gain 0.4kg so far. WHY?!?! Is my body just stubbornly holding onto the weight for some reason? I doubt it's from gaining muscle (as I've only been walking and I imagine you don't gain too much muscle from walking!). So then what is it???
Am I just being impatient??? I always figured that when you're larger it's easier to lose weight, so I thought it would be faster than this. When I first started losing weight I wasn't even exercising really, it honestly just fell off me when I started tracking my calories.
If anyone has any ideas PLEASE let me know!! Happy to answer any clarifying questions as well.
