For context, I weighed the same for nearly 20 years, never had to make any effort to keep it there, but put on 35lbs while mourning the passing of someone close to me.
When I went about trying to shed the weight was able to drop the first 25lbs, 2lbs a week without much trouble. However, I plateaued 10lbs from my goal. Further calorie deficits didn't seem to make a dent and were significantly impacting my performance at work and I was already exercising around 2 hours a day.
I took a maintenance break for 4 months and maintained weight just by eating when hungry and doing my usual bike rides. A month ago I decided to make another attempt to drop those last 10lbs. Re-calculated my bmr, and set a modest 500 calorie deficit, (previously I was doing 1k deficit). But didn't see any progress in the first two weeks. So I upped the deficit and now i'm struggling to perform at work, enough so my manager has noticed. Trying to figure out how to lose these last 10lbs without losing my job in the process.
