Any ideas how I can tweak my fasting as stayed the same for 2 weeks now. I know as you get lower in body weight it gets harder to loose and I'm the lightest I have been in years but still got 11lbs to go for my personal goal. I'm gonna up the cardio but any other ideas. Currently do between 16-18 hours fasting and count my calories.

    Drop your calories further

    Thank you. I have kept it at 25% lower than my tdee should I take another 5% off and evaluate?

    If it's a prolonged stall (longer than two weeks...) then your options are realistically eat less or move more (or a combination of both).

    You could calculate your own TDEE from your intake over the last 4 weeks (add 3500 for each pound lost) then divide by 28.
    That will correct for any logging inaccuracy - which calculators online can't do.

    I was reading the other day that weight plateau can last more than 4 weeks. I'm not sure what the answer is but I guess be patient. Or try and trick your body out of it

    Try reactive fasting. Weigh your self daily and do not eat that day unless you weigh less than the day before. This extends your fast just long enough to break through stalls and the longest you will go is one day without losing weight. When you reach your healthy body weight target, adjust the fast so you don't eat on days when are above your healthy weight range.

    Since weight loss isn't linear this is an awful idea

    OP, it has less to do with your fasting time and more to do with your calorie intake. How do you measure those calories?
