Sorry for the length, just easier to explain now then answer questions later.
Basic Stats
40 Years Old, 5'8, 184 lbs approx 25%Bodyfat, I'm averaging 1900 cal / Day 150g protein
So I have gone from 264 to the low tomid 180s over the course of about a year. I seem to have hit a wallin regards to weight loss. According to my spreadsheet I have beenbetween 181 and 186 for the last eight weeks, weighed on same scale,all immediately after waking up, every other day.
My TDEE calculations are saying Ishould be burning just below 2400 cal / Day
I lift on a 3 day on 1 day offschedule, each body part twice per week and about 18 working sets permuscle group per week. I get in about 3 hours per week on theelliptical and walk for just under 1 hour a day at a slow pace (Dogs)
My goal has been .5-1% weight loss perweek which I think is realistic and until recently has generallyhappened.
I am attempting to get this fat off asquickly as reasonably possible since honestly this diet is notsustainable for me long term. The lady and I are serious foodies somaintaining this level of calories has me eating 1 “normal” meala day and the rest is pretty much chicken,egg whites, and proteinpowder. So getting to where I can up the calories some and not haveto try to lose fat is important. This plus the fact that I have been500 under for weeks and not lost anything is discouraging.
I had to stop training due to injurysome years ago and have started again in the last eight months soperhaps I have put on a tiny bit of muscle in the last two months butnot enough to replace what I thought would be a solid 8 pound fatloss. My lifts have increased a small amount over this time, chestand shoulders have small visual improvement, I would say waist is thesame.
Any ideas
