Hi all, 30M, 5'10. I started at 197lbs 3mo ago, and was down to 190 by month 2. In the last month I've bounced around 189-191 and haven't made meaningful progress on the scale which is frustrating.
I've been targeting only 1800 calories a day and have been very consistent, although it's hard to accurately track since my office provides free meals and I go out a lot (live in big city).
I have been weight training 2-3x a week doing full body. I've been lifting inconsistently for a few years so not sure if I classify as "untrained" although I got injured a couple years ago and had to take a year off which derailed me. Some of my lifts have stalled but others have been going up every week or two. I've also been running 1-2x a week and finally hit 10k on the weekend.
While it's frustrating that I'm not making scale progress anymore, I do have some lifts going up and I dropped two belt notches this month. I can see some but not significant improvements in progress pics, I estimate I went from 28-30% BF to 23-25%. I'm wondering if I should cut back my calories further (I'm clearly overcounting but I'm fucking starving either way) or just keep what I'm doing and ride out the recomp. What do you think?
