I started seriously exercising about 4 weeks ago. I began at 245 pounds (5'8"), weighing myself in the mornings to maintain consistency, but as of today I'm sitting at 238.9 and want to end up under 200 down the line. I spend around 30-45 minutes on a rowing machine, moderate-high intensity, sometimes bumping up to 60 if I'm feeling good -- 5 days a week, or four if I'm busy. I've cut down on calories by a ton (more on that later), and nearly cut out all sugary drinks, trying to eat more protein and less carbs, focusing on actual balanced meals rather than just a single food item for a meal.
I've started a weight chart to keep track of my milestones, how much I'm eating per day, and what I'm eating per day. I range from 1700 calories to 2200, trying to fluctuate between the two in 100 calorie increments to keep my body from getting too used to the amount that I'm eating. I used to eat above 3000 calories a day, especially since quarantine started.
I've lost about 6ish pounds, but lately have started to climb back up to where I was before, and frankly sometimes it feels like my weight is all over the place. One day I'll be at 237, another I'll be at 242. I'm just not sure I'm doing the right things. I haven't made any serious diet changes, aside from sugary drinks and switching out high calorie snacks for lower calorie alternatives, but I make sure to control my portions much better.
I suppose I'm worried if there's something integral I'm missing, or if I just need to stick with it longer to see more progress? Should I be worried about the fluctuation in the day to day on weight? I know the human body can vary wildly in a single day, and I've heard of the "whoosh" but I'm unsure if this is what I'm experiencing. Any other advice?
