F. 25. 5’4” SW 174 lbs. ——> CW 157.8 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. I go to the gym every day of the week and my schedule is as follows: Upper day (5 machines 4 x 10) and incline walking (3/30/3 .. roughly 200 cal), Lower day (5 machines 4 x 10) and incline walking (same as upper), and Rest day: incline walking (3/60/3 … roughly 400 cal). Rinse and repeat.
My TDEE (for daily exercise) is ~2300 and I consume, on average, around 1500 calories (1600 on rest days), putting me at a net of ~1300 calories every day. Macros are heavily protein focused due to weight training 4-5 times a week and I find it helps me feel more full. I weigh and track all my food as well, so there’s not much room for me underestimating calories.. super mindful about drink calories, too.
My question is: why has the scale stopped moving? According to my TDEE, I’m well within my deficit. Is it because I’m doing those upper/lower days in combination with consuming more protein? My main focus is to get down to my goal weight while maintaining my muscle health - I don’t care t o o much about getting toned.
I’m also not sure if it’s relevant, but I also take 20 mg. of Prozac, which can cause water retention I’ve heard.
Any insight would be super appreciated! I just want to ensure that I’m going about this as healthily and sustainable as possible!
