SW 231 CW 218 GW 186 (for now - aiming to be here by end of July next year). 43 FtM on low dose testosterone for transition.
Started consciously trying to lose weight on 4th September this year, have lost 13lb since then, most of which was in the first 2 weeks (7lb in two weeks, which I'm sure is mainly the water weight). My TDEE for sedentary is 2009 per day, 2302 for light exercise. I'm currently lifting weights 2x per week, doing a 10-12 mile bike ride 2x per week and 1-2 high intensity karate classes per week, so I think it's ok for me to use the light exercise value. I've cut my calories to 1600 per day and aim for 120g protein within that (that's my only macro target). I supplement with a multivitamin and creatine to support general health and muscle growth.
So, based on what I've put here, do you guys think I'm doing enough? Weight loss has slowed to around 1lb a week, which feels like not a lot for the effort I'm putting in. Before I started trying to lose weight I was minimally active (just the one karate a week) and ate a lot of crap foods. I guess I just hoped for more of a difference on the scale, you know? I do think my body composition is changing, as my belly has shrunk a bit, but I know muscle gains aren't this quick for me to write it off as 'muscle weighs more than fat'. I weigh and measure my food intake using scales and myfitnesspal.
I dunno, just looking for some reassurance that I'm doing the right stuff I guess.
