Weight loss plateau

Hello everyone, I'm 173 cm tall male. Since the start of the year I have managed to lose 21 kg (46 lb), going from 103 kg (227 lb) to 82 kg (181 lb) by maintaining a caloric deficit and exercising. However, for the past month, I haven’t been able to lose a single pound. I tried reducing my calorie intake to 1300 kcal a day, but it didn’t give any results — my body started to adapt to the lower food intake. For example, my resting heart rate dropped from 70 to 50 BPM, and my blood pressure dropped to ~95 SYS and ~45 DIA. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do in this situation? I want to continue my weight loss journey until I feel comfortable with my weight. Thank you for your answers.

P.S. I also tried measuring my waist, thinking that I might be gaining the same weight of muscle as I lose fat, but the measurements stayed the same. Also, sorry for any mistakes — I am not a native English speaker

Advice on enjoying the summer while losing weight?

(26F SW: 295 CW: 263 GW:180) Hello! I have lost over 30 lbs in the last year. I am going to Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon at the end of June (super excited about the time to relax and explore)! Something I am struggling with is accepting the size I am at now when it comes to clothes (currently on top a L/XL and bottom 2x or 22/24W) I am renting a few pieces from Nully because online shopping is starting to get to me. I want to feel comfortable & have a great time on this trip. My question is does anyone have any advice about getting out of your head when it comes to weight and the summertime? I want to enjoy the summer this year and worry less about my body being perceived. I know when I get back I can always start my weight loss journey again, so how does one get out of their head?

Can your deficit get bigger?

Hi, I’m 23f, 5’9 currently 208lbs. My goal is to get down to 145lbs.

When I initially started my weight loss journey I calculated my TDEE and my deficit was 1675 calories (I was not active when I initially started I only started working out a month after). That helped me lose 15lbs. Now for past month and half I’ve been at maintenance and this month I started my deficit again. I’m currently a week in and eating 1675 calories again, however when I calculate my TDEE again it said my deficit is 2225 calories now.

My workout split is (for more info) Monday - glutes + 20 minutes of stair master Tuesday - arms + 20 minutes of stair master Wednesday - 30 minutes of stair master Thursday - back + 20 minutes of stair master Friday - glutes + 20 minutes of stair master Saturday & Sunday - I just go on a long walk

My question is 1675 to low of a deficit? Because I want to lose the weight in at decent pace that I don’t regain it all back!

Losing faster to fit the dress... OK or not OK

I'm so proud of my weight loss in the past 5 months. I've gone from roughly 205lb to 172.4 this morning!! My final goal is about 160lbs - I want to be about a size medium and 6-8 (US) and fit. I'm about 175-176cm. I think that's when I've looked best. I'm not into the model thin thing on myself and not sure I could attain it.

I have a wedding to attend in 1 week. I bought a cool dress for it online. My measurements were slightly between medium and large and I decided eff it and went for the medium. It was pricey and came in from another country. Much to my delight, the medium does up!! But, it kinda rides up. I think if I was a bit smaller it would look better and fit perfectly and not ride up at all. When it rides up it creates a funny bulge on the hip that would annoy me. I can try to get it tailored but that'll be even more $, there's not much fabric to let out, I'll be screwed if I don't like it and want to return it... plus, if I wear it again I hate the idea of tailoring it bigger when I'm losing weight 🤦‍♀️

I've been losing weight in a really healthy way. About 1800 calories daily and 3 workouts per week, I don't eat more to make up for the workouts.

Should I do something to supercharge my weight loss and lose 5lb in a week or something?

Drop to 1600 calories and workout daily?

Cut out salt?

What would even work? (If so how many days? I adore pickles)

I don't want to mess up my metabolism or derail myself or whatever but I really wanna slay in this dress and not worry about pulling it down all night. I've worked so hard!!

I tried my Spanx, but they aren't THAT compressive now that I've lost weight... any miracle cheap shapewear to try?

Thanks all 🙏🏼

43lbs in 10 months - does this sound sustainable?

Does this sound like sustainable weight loss?

I’ve struggled with gaining the weight back plus more the last time I lost a substantial amount of weight. I’ve decided to set myself a time period of 10 months to lose 43lbs which adequate to 1 pound weight loss a week. I’m thinking of eating 1400 calories a day - I am sedentary but I do plan on slowly upping my exercise.

The last time I ate 1200 calories and I did lose weight but I’m now thinking that this must have been an unsustainable calorie intake.

This is mainly because I want to be at my goal weight for my birthday in just under a years time.

For context I am 5, 8 and currently weigh 183lbs and my goal weight is 140lbs as that is when I felt and looked my best.

Thank you 😊

Anyone have success after switching to copper IUD from hormonal birth control?

Been on birth control for years, definitely have put on weight, and am struggling to lose any despite being a lot more conscientious about diet and exercising consistently.

I have other reasons besides weight loss for wanting to switch from my current method (depo shot), and am debating between a hormonal and non hormonal IUD. So I’m curious if anyone had lost weight after getting the non-hormonal copper IUD after being on hormonal birth control.

I’m 5’4-5’5, 31f and weigh roughly 160, give or take.

ETA: i’m prediabetic and recently saw a study linking insulin resistance and hormonal BC which makes me curious if switching to copper would have an impact
