So about a month and a half ago (roughly), I tried to start losing weight again (F, 195). I started incorporating more protein and healthier things overall in my diet.
In the mornings, i make eggs. A lot of the time I’ll add 1/4 cup of cheese and a toasted corn tortilla so I don’t get tired of eggs. For lunch, I either drink a premixed protein shake or make a fruit smoothie (frozen and fresh fruit, almond milk, tsp of pre workout). For dinner I’ll have a salad, maybe eggs if I’m really hungry, or snack on pieces of veggies. If I snack throughout the day, it will be either a Kind bar or another protein shake or two depending on how hungry I get. I’ve cut out Coke Zero that I used to drink several cans a day of, to a can every few days. I’ve taken up walking/jogging and boxing on VR, but I’m still working on a more solid and consistent schedule for that. I just signed up for the gym again, so that should make it easier.
Since I’ve started, I’ve been hovering between 192 and 198. I get so depressed every time I get on the scale, I just don’t understand why I’m not losing weight. Most days I struggle to even hit 800 calories, because the protein just keeps me full I guess. Is it because I’m not eating around 1200 calories? I’m not discouraged to keep trying because I really want to get to 140 lbs, I’m just not entirely sure what’s going on with my lack of progress.
Sorry for the wall of text, I just really need advice, because it’s really impacted my mental state.
