Hi all. Posted here a couple times and have always gotten good feedback and a lot of helpful comments! So I just wanna firstly say thanks.
I started the beginning of August at 174 lbs. I made radical lifestyle changes. I started eating in a 1,500 calorie deficit, moving more, eating whole foods/balanced meals, less sugar, less carbs, more protein, etc. The whole works. For my activity, I started walking a few times a week for about 30 mins. After a month, I think I weighed around 168 lbs. I definitely looked different, too.
I have gradually been increasing my activity. In September, I started walking 6-7x/week, and started to jog for about 10 mins a couple times a week. In October, I then incorporated the gym since I heard strength training is good for fat loss. I strength training 6x per week. I increase my weights as needed (maybe every couple weeks), and drink a protein shake after working out. I have anywhere from 70-100g of protein per day. I feel I’ve been counting 1,500 accurately (including oil), but even if I’ve been off by 200 calories, based on a TDEE calculator, I would still be losing a good amount of weight based on my current weight.
It’s now mid-November, and I’m 163 lbs. It has been longer than the first weight drop (174 to 168) which was only after a month. Now, I have went from 168 to 163 in 2.5 months.
Yes, I have been building muscle and I know that weighs more than fat, but I still have so much fat, and I haven’t noticed the fat coming off! I still have a belly with a lot of fat, arms, thighs, etc. It’s very dis motivating. My goal weight isn’t even that low (140 lbs.) but I feel like I’ll never get there, or remove a lot of this fat.
Does anyone have any advice for me? All these fitness influences tell me to get a lot of protein, eat in a calorie deficit, work out, do cardio, get enough sleep, eat Whole Foods…and I do all of that! But yet I stare at my big belly everyday.
Thanks!
