Hey there everyone hope you had a great Xmas and new years.

I'm glad to be in 2020 and I know this year will be amazing.

Well I'm hovering around 203-204 the last couple days now..

I've started to notice it takes longer to see movement on the scales like it may take a few days to see any major change and it's hard to get my head around after losing weight so quickly until now...

My question is for those who have reached their goal weight and healthy BMIs... I would like to get down to at least 185lbs but it seems these last 20lbs are going to be the hardest...

Can anyone share their experiences how they dealt with the last 20lbs?

Is there any tips should I lower my protein or up it?

Should I be exercising more?

I think I'm just a little impatient lol

My starting weight was 322lbs

Current weight is 203/204lbs

Goal Weight roughly 185lbs

I've started adding tuna to my diet now but still use shakes as well as its the best way to hit my protein goals!

Some days I don't feel like food and shakes keep me satisfied...

I'm not very active which might be an issue.....

Thanks.

Mike.

Just had this discussion with my Nutritionist last week - Switch up you diet and lower you calorie intake a little - Body is saying eneogh! Mike i joined cross fit and it helped bust out the last few pounds. Also those short fast plans worked for me. Protein is hard to burn off so high protein diet may be a issue also

I dont think lowering his calories is an option at this point given how recent the procedure was. In general lowering calories isnt an option if you are consuming under 1200 per day.

I forgot he had a recent procedure - Looks lIke its Cross FIt time Mke!

I hear ya! I'm no those last 20 pounds myself and mine has been STUBBORN. Now I'm kicking it back into gear and losing about 1/3 lb/day. I really had to experiment with my calorie intake and learned that I needed to be eating MORE calories because my body was refusing to lose when I was under 800 calories. Now I'm around 1100/day and that seems to be the magic number. Still small portions, lots of protein, lots of water and some exercise.

You had surgery same day as me, only 10/28/19. You're doing phenomenal, you'll be fine. I WISH I was down to the last 20.
