Stalled (weight loss & lifting)

rapat

So I started out great -- losing 20lbs in roughly 2.5 months -- 200 to 180lb
Then the last 2.5 months I've stalled -- basically maintaining my weight loss.

Part of the problem is motiviation -- I'm now mildly okay with my weight -- I'd still like to be 20lbs less, but I don't feel the urgency I did originally.

Also stopped logging as I just thought "I'll try to eat healthier and not worry about the calories" Obviously that hasn't worked, so I'm going to start logging again.

I've also stalled in terms of weight lifting progress -- probably cause I'm not maintaining a strict schedule -- just doing bench, pullups, squat, upright press randomly a few times a week.

Anyways, would welcome suggestions for what has helped people who've dealt with similar stalling periods

It sounds like you've already identified the problem - you stopped logging. It is really difficult to know how much you are eating without tracking your food intake, especially if you are trying to stick within a certain limit to lose weight. Start logging everything again, weighing/measuring as accurately as possible so you can be totally aware of what you are consuming.
