Vets still trying to lose - what are your macros?

Hi folks. I've searched the boards the past few days and can't find anyone posting this anywhere recently, so sorry if it's a re-ask of an old question for everyone.

I'm almost 2 years out from VSG, lost 130 lbs and then this winter have gained 25 (gasp!) back and am working really hard to lose again. Problem is, I'm not able to. I really want to re-lose my stupid gain, and then get the remainder off and get to goal.

My current macros are 1300 calories, ~150 g Protein, 50 g carbs, 50 g fat

I'm working out with weights 45 minutes three times a week and generally active otherwise.

Been here doing this two weeks now, and no loss! Help?!? What are you all doing in terms of macros and general exercise?

  • I'm almost six years out. Lost 100 reached goal in 7 mo. Kept off about 3 years. Regained 27 lbs. lost it with 5:2 intermittent fasting and very clean eating. Kept that off another two. Now have lost

  • Ok, thanks for the clarification. My mind says you should be losing with that info so I would be impatient too. If you aren't measuring everything, maybe do that just to confirm. Double your Water -

  • I am 2.5 years out. I hit goal 11 months ago and fluctuated within 1-3 pounds for the first 6 months. I then thought I could eat junk food and I gained 7 pounds, which then took me 2 months to lose.

Thanks everyone. I did up my Water, @@CowgirlJane, and I think I might have slacked off on it a bit before. I like MFP @@erp, but I wish we could check off food as we go through the day. I do like seeing the pie chart of when i eat as well as how my macros are spread. Also I was working at keeping close my macro goals but not worrying too much if I was under them. My trainer asserts that staying constant will be key, and in my phase of trying to lose again I need to be way more consistent, keeping within 5 g of them. Admittedly I'd been off there too. I'm crossing my fingers, logging food, going to the gym and (sigh) trying again. :mellow:
