After putting on a load of weight during 2021 I'm back at trying to get back to how I was.

February 2020 I was weighing in at 50kg with a body fat percentage of 25 average which for my height put me at a BMI of about 20.

June 2022 I was weighing in at 64kg (didn't measure fat) which put me at a BMI of about 26/27 so I was overweight.

Over the last few weeks I've done really well. I lost 4kg from June to the end of July, put 0.4kg on over the school holidays because I was eating and drinking A LOT! At least 2000 calories a day or more some days.

Got back on the weight loss train end of August after the bank holiday and I've gone from 60.8kg to 58.4kg.

I've cut my calories, I'm doing Stronglifts at least twice a week, more like 3 and body pump once a week, often 2 but if I miss one I'll do some cardio instead.

I want to get my weight back down to 50kg but my body fat percentage around 20%. I'm starting to see some definition in places like my shoulders and the top of my stomach but the lower stomach still has an overhang where I had my c sections and I have a lot of fat around my hips and flabby arms.

I'm conscious of the fact that there will come a point where I can't keep adding weight on to my workouts so what comes next in order to reach my goal?

    You change your program from Stronglifts to something that suits your goals and capabilities, it's not intended you do a linear progression beginner program forever.
