Yet weirdly, before this, I lost 60 lbs.
I am stuck now, too, except stuck and fatter.
I don't begrudge anyone anything and frankly am thrilled for those for whom this works. Life is hard. Any way to make it easier is a plus in my book. For me, eating more but getting back to the obese category is not making things easier. I am glad for those who are experiencing good health. Keep up the good work.

I am 5"3, started at 76kg, went down to 61kg, but now back up to around 68kg, eating around 2,100-2,600 a day
The photos don't show where I started, as I don't have them on my phone anymore, but it gives an idea..!

Good luck then. Clearly, you know what to do so go back to what works for you! If it worked for you before and is sustainable, then not sure what would have even brought you here.charlenekapf wrote: »

I think the snarkiness connected with this is odd. Same thing on the FB group. If you ARE happy then why the snark? Not every method works for everyone, and if this clearly is the way to go I don't see the need for defensiveness at any challenge to the method. Just odd.
As I said, I do wish you well and am glad for you. If you can't manage the same in return then okay, but the fact is this is NOT the single answer for every person, clearly. I'm sorry if that bothers you. Hang in there and merry Christmas. 5 -

By this "method" you mean eating 1800+ calories is not working for you for weight loss?
There's nothing wrong with that.
We are all different, have different activity levels/lifestyles, varying TDEEs and calorie needs. Not everyone will be able to lose or even maintain on 1800+ calories.
I don't see it as a "method", just a matter of what your caloric needs are. If this amount does not work for you, you have to adjust accordingly. Don't eat a certain amount just because it has worked for someone else, find what works for you.4 -

Thanks much. Yes, it's hard to clarify. I am going to 1600 and keeping up the workouts. I do like that part (working out heavier). Thanks again and happy holidays. 1 -
What kind of strength training have you been doing?0

What kind of strength training have you been doing?
Hey. I have been using dumbbells, HIIT or just strength training, 20, 40 and 45-minute sessions currently per week, low weight but to exhaustion most of the time, have had to bump up the weight once already and am ready to bump up again. I am getting resistance bands for Christmas but may also just buy a one-up heavier pair of dumbells as well. These sessions are the usual stuff, squats, snatches, that sort of thing. I have been doing HASFit videos on YouTube.1 -
I am maintaining at 2000/day, doing a slight lean bulk at 2200 most days paired with a lifting routine. Have seen 1 lb of progress so far!
Calorie dispersion:
Breakfast: 500
Lunch: 500
Dinner: 500
Snacks: 5000 -

During the time I was losing, I was usually around 1800+.
so does this mean you eat 1700 at sedentary and 2000+ if you workout? we have same exact stats so im curious

I'll be resuming training in a week or so when I'm recovered from flu. I swear, I thought it was a sore throat and it took me down so fast.1 -
