Hey everyone! I was able to drop 18lbs since January thanks to some encouragement and great advice from members - it’s basically about Energy In vs. Energy Out. I’ve implemented 16:8 Intermittent Fasting and a more active lifestyle since January. However, I’ve been stuck around 163lbs since mid-March and I’m really hoping to keep making progress to 150lbs. Regardless of the actual number, my goal is to ideally look good and feel healthy.
ENERGY IN I break my fast around 12pm and have a fairly healthy lunch: mixed greens, chicken thigh, diced avocado/tomato/cucumber, and half a cup of fruit. I also snack on an egg or two throughout the day. Then I have dinner around 7pm which is whatever my family’s having - usually a cup of brown rice and always some kind of protein. I have some trouble with snacking right after my meals... usually reach for almonds, a piece of chocolate, or a handful of my favorite Popcorner chips. Pretty consistent about stopping eating after 8pm.
ENERGY OUT My current day starts at 6:30am with stretching and recently worked up to a 3 mile jog for 5 days/wk. I have a pretty sedentary day job. For the last month, I’ve incorporated some weight training and rejoined a gym last week (bro splits and hoping to hit legs twice a week).
I’d appreciate any advice on how to break through what seems like a plateau if you’ve been in my shoes! Tips, tricks, cheers, and or similar struggles very welcome. Thank you!
