Welp, a few months ago I (29F) finally managed to lock in with my caloric deficit and lose 10lbs, the most I had ever lost in the 5 or so years I've been trying to lose weight. But now, I've been sitting at 170-172lbs for the past two months. I'm eating between 1400-1500cals per day. I've been consistently lifting weights 3x per week for over a month now and have seen steady progress in strength. I know that there's such a thing as body recomp, but my progress pictures look the exact same and my measurements are the exact same.
I've also been uncomfortably constipated most days because I went from not caring about my protein intake (probably 50-70g per day) to aiming for 100g per day. (And most people say I should be eating MORE which is crazy to me lol) I take Metamucil and I try to fit in a serving of leafy greens, chia seeds, etc. each day.
The combo of the weight not budging along with the constipation is making me feel sluggish, slow, and quite frankly just fat. It's really exhausting and discouraging watching time slip by and not knowing if I keep doing something wrong and should change something. So this is part venting and part wondering if anyone has been in a similar scenario with advice. :( TIA!
