For reference I’m a female at 5’2 and 140 pounds. My goal weight is 130. My starting weight was 175 as of last summer. I’ve managed to lose my first 35 pounds and don’t get me wrong I am super grateful and proud for that. However.. I’ve been stuck at 140 for the last 4 months, my weight fluctuates between 140-142. The lowest I got to was 137 but it’s like as soon as my mind sees 130-something on the scale I just cannot maintain it. Part of my problem, I think, comes from potentially not eating enough? My TDEE is supposedly only 1500 so when eating in a deficit I’m going between 1000-1100. I’m able to do this for a few days of the week until the day comes when I finally feel sick which causes me to break and lose literally all willpower and feel the need to eat everything in sight for the next few days like a vicious cycle. This causes the number on the scale to go up and I’m worried that I just won’t be able to get to a place where I can hit 139 and keep going below that. I’m extremely frustrated and considering whether I should just give up all together. I’m still technically overweight and would love nothing more than to get the last 10 pounds off. But I don’t know how many calories I’m really supposed to be eating and I’m afraid i could have permanently ruined my metabolism from what I’ve read online. Any/all advice would be welcome at this point, I’m not sure what else to do.
