What am I doing wrong?

I workout 5 days a week and I don't eat any carbs besides natural ones in foods or sugars (as per my dr), and I've lost 27 lbs in 2.5 months and today in up 2 lbs.

I eat mostly chicken, some beef, and vegetables. I eat about 6 small meals a day. I don't graze all day or snack often, mostly j just eat my little meals. I hit my calorie goals for exercise via my smart watch and eat about 800-900 calories a day. Everything I eat, I've cooked myself so I don't eat fast food or takeout or 'convenient' meals.

I don't know what else to do. I'm doing cardio and weights alternating daily and I work 2 jobs so I'm always moving. I just don't know how to make the scale move.

Critique me, please. I need to know what to fix!

Thank you,

Amanda

    Other than perhaps over-exercising, I don't see what you could be doing wrong. Our starting weights were similar: I weighed 218 on surgery day and had lost 27.5 pounds by 2 months out. It took me

  • You are doing fine. From surgery to about 2.5 months out, I had lost about 20 pounds.

Only thing I suggest is increase protein to at least 80 g and increase water intake.
I was at a stall and when I did these 2 things I notice my weight started dropping again.
I go to gym as well 5 times a week.
It will work out[emoji3]!

Thank you. [emoji173]️


I agree with the increased protein and the water intake. I was doing everything "right" and stalling than I read about the effect water has in the weight loss process and made sure I was going the 64oz or more a day. It really makes a difference.


Your doing amazing! I personally wouldn't decrease the amount of exercise your doing, but evaluate what your calorie intake should be to accommodate the amount of exercising and calories you are burning. Google calorie deficit, it really explains how important calorie in/out is for weight loss and weight maintenance. Good luck on your journey, sounds like you are on the right healthy track.
