I recently lost 30 pounds by only counting calories, no exercise. I then decided to up my activity to 10k steps and lost a few more pounds. I now am at a plateau. My bmi is 23.1 now so normal. I only have 10 more pounds to lose but this plateau has been stalling my progress. It’s been 40 days since I lost weight. I’ve tried weight lifting for 3 weeks with the steps, no progress. I tried upping my steps to 15k and removing the weight lifting (worried water weight caused no shift), no progress. I’ve been eating at 1370 calories the entire time, including the entire time it took to lose 30 pounds. Now it seems like it does nothing. I will say, I have random bites of food I don’t track and I read that while that’s usually not a huge issue, when you have less weight to lose, every single calorie counts and I’m wondering if that is my issue? I calculated my tdee and it says my maintenance calories is 1,900 and that to lose 1 pound a week I’d need to eat 1,406 calories so.. why am I not losing? I don’t know exactly how many calories are in these bites I don’t count but I would estimate between 30-130 calories of untracked stuff depending on day. The reason I did this is because I figured this was fine since I would still be close most days to my range to lose weight especially with upping my activity to 15k steps daily. I am confused with what I read online on what to do. Do I lower my calories and really make sure I track every single calorie or is it likely that my body is annoyed with the deficit and I need a diet break of 7 days eating at maintenance. Is my new maintenance 1370 calories and that’s why I can’t lose?
