Progress and Questions on My Weight Loss Journey

Hi everyone,

I’ve been on a weight loss journey for a few months now, and I’m excited to share my progress and seek your advice!

Starting Point and Goal:

• Starting weight: ~150 kg (started tracking at 142 kg)
• Current weight: 133.3 kg
• Goal weight: 100-110 kg
• Height: 197 cm

What I’ve Been Doing:

• Calorie tracking: Using apps for input and weight tracking.
• Diet changes: Reduced sugar intake, especially sweet drinks, while keeping my overall diet mostly the same.
• Intermittent fasting: Followed 16/8 for most of the time but have been less consistent in the past few weeks.
• Activity level: Limited due to joint issues, but I’ve been doing physiotherapy and occasional walks to improve fitness.

Tools and Data:

• A Fitness Tracker for tracking activity and caloric burn.
• A smart scale for body fat, skeletal muscle, and accurate weight tracking.
• An App for calorie and macronutrient tracking.

Challenges:

• Interpreting the data from my Fitness Tracker and smart scale.
• Navigating a short plateau from November 28 to December 7, which I solved by decreasing my caloric intake.

What I’m Looking For:

• Reassurance: Am I on the right track?
• Corrections: Feedback on my habits, especially macronutrient balance, caloric burn, and data accuracy.
• Advice:
  • Should I increase my activity levels despite joint issues?
  • How should I approach macronutrient goals?
  • Is my caloric deficit too high? My Fitness Tracker app always says that I eat not enough.
  • Should I focus more on muscle gain?

I’ve screenshots from my apps (weight, body fat, skeletal muscle, caloric input and burn, and macronutrients) to give a clear picture of my progress. https://imgur.com/a/LyR0lFl

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Any advice, insights, or encouragement is greatly appreciated.
