Hey FSF! So I have been stuck at about the same 1.5 lb window for a couple weeks now. I am all about the science, so I stuck to my routine while doing more research.
Apparently a stall in progress is normal at this point and it's good to change things up just a little to get things moving again. So, I added 100 calories to my daily goal (mostly protein). I feel like the less I eat, the less weight I lose, even though I know that doesn't make sense. For the past couple weeks I have been averaging 1100 cal/day when my TDE is 2300. That is just not enough food to keep my metabolism burning fat.
I took Monday and Tuesday off from tracking, but still sticking to my diet, to let myself do a mental recharge. Now I'm back and ready to do this thing. So the focus for this week:
Increasing water intake. Hitting my protein goal, 80g/day. Meal prepping in advance to reach desired macros. Remembering to take my vitamins, lol.
Short Term Goal: Get to 250.0 lbs by October 1st.
