Hey, ok so I am 42 until last year never exercised, got to an embarrassing 350+lbs a few years back.. cut out soda only and dropped 55 lbs .
Start watching more of what I eat and doing some light exercise got down to 283 lbs..
Then got a gym membership and go 3 times a week min... used the app to set my Cal to 1750 before working out
I do 30mins of rowing and about another 30 mins of weights..

My goal is to drop to 210-220lb by the end of the year, 4 weeks in and I have lost 4lbs which I was hoping for double that ( 2lbs per week) . Losing less is kinda annoying, I have stuck to the Cal count dead on.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    (1) You are not as heavy, so wt loss will go slower;
    (2) Do NOT adjust your calories down, keep them up so and let your metabolism do the work;
    (3) You can put any timeline on wt. loss you want, your BODY is going to Do what it wants to DO...so do not get frustrated. If you weighed 350+ Lbs at one point then you are making a Lifestyle change and NOT on a "diet", this means focus on what you eat and moderate exercise (90/10), and don't focus on the scales; if you reverse the order in any way as to what is Important, you may have setbacks...Remember, a "stall" is NOT a setback (just stay "pat"), it may be your Body healing or adjusting.
