Hello, I have struggled with my weight for over a decade with my lightest weight being 131 lbs/59.4kg in 2018 and my heaviest weight being 164 lbs/76kg in 2020.
After Summer 2021, at 158 lbs/71.7kg, I decided to take my weight loss more seriously and began lots of meal prepping to help me stay within my 1200 calorie bracket (I changed this to 1400 calories in November).
From September 2021 to early December 2021 I lost 16 lbs/7kg. In December I put on a couple of pounds but I lost this by the end of January.
Since February, I have only lost 2 pounds which essentially works out as 1 pound a month. I currently weigh 9 stone 12.5 pounds (138.5 lbs/62.8kg).
I am doing the same thing as I have been since November which means eating 1400 calories during the week and most weekends not exceeding 1600 a day. There are some days every month that are more if I go out but it's rarely excessive. I use my fitness pal where I track everything and I aim for 100g of protein which I meet around 75% of the time. I definitely don't eat the cleanest i.e. I eat chocolate and crisps etc. but it is all within my calories. I don't do much exercise (lack of time and motivation) but I walk an hour to and from work 5x a week and I get around 14,000 steps a day.
My initial aim was to be at my goal weight by June and then start eating and exercising more to build some muscle and improve my fitness but I'm not currently on track to do this.
Other than lowering my calories, is there anything I can do to start losing weight again?
Thanks in advance!
