Thank you for your response! And yes 20-25 mins eliptical with higher intensity and if its treadmill its a 13 incline - 15 at 3 mph, or stair climber ect, i wear a fit bit and my heart rate is always above 115 ans peaks up to 145ish

Im on the right.

Reason for post, i could not find a very good “let me be lazy for a week but have a physical job” calculation out there.
-
Update, im at 11% body fat

Decided to reach out to a nutrionist and see how it goes

Thats my next step

Alot of it is probably when i was a kid i lost 75 lbs

Just trying to lose as much tummy as i can

I do not have a BF% done at this time, and its just my goal, its been my mind set
-
Thank you and id say im 99% accurate as i scale. And yeah i try to keep my weighing myself as accurate as i can
-
Yeah, im at 2480 cals right now, will see where results are in a week, im getting better at placing my carbs during the day due to the light headness i get when i do not eat and lack of cals, takes a toll thats for sure
-
I would not argue with that statement, fair enough.

Trying to finish off damage from my 7th grade days at 5’4 225 lbs
-
Because my stomach is not where i want it to be
-
That is what im doing! I used the HB formula & the mifflin formula and i dropped my cals fo 2480 which should put me down to a 1lb a week and taking all the extra sodium out my diet as i love it to much, and i honestly believe just cutting sodium out will put me under my 170.

I would like to hit 165 thats the goal i want to be at. Im

I believe im going to drop my cals to 2450 and see what happens, the biggest issue and a reason i went up after the rest week was i was mentally and physically exhuasted and i felt myself feeling dissy at work due to this.

When i began i was seeing 3 lbs, 4 lbs, When towards the end month it was 2 lbs
-
When i was 15 years old i was 225 lbs and dropped to 155 lbs in 7 months, my body has seen rapid change.
-
And 2.4 a week is an average of the total amount of time to the amount of weight ive lost. That would be a weekly average.

I would gaurentee that my log is 99% spot on, its repetitive food, same thing for months on months, i scale everything, and working out isnt where alot of my energy goes to, im a auto mechanic who works 12 hours shifts, who walks 20k plus steps a day and do a lot of wrenching.
-
Thats a very solid point, just kinda stunned that the difference between me losing 2 lbs a week and losing none is 300 cals, and that is the reality of the calorie world that i have to accept.

@ jpo, my confusion comes with that if i was eating 2400 lbs a day and losing 2 lbs a week (which 2lbs is 7000 cals) then you take 2400 x 7 = 16800 and add the 2 lbs you were losing which is 7k cals you get 23800 / 7 days a week my mait. Should be 3400 a day which eating 2800 should have me at a 600 deficit a day which in…

@ jess i do use a weight scale, and my diet - the additional indulgence on Sunday have been the same And i have recalculated ect, but one thing that stumps me is am i “ Active” or “ Very Active” That in itself would make a world of difference

Since increasing my diet 300 cals, and having a rest week, i have no dropped any weight in the last 3 weeks, exercise and work has stayed the same since the rest week.

Thank you for your reply, and so to get out of this plateau should i change my diet? Eat less? Or just keep trying it. The only big difference is my cheat meal every sunday, and of course the extra 300 cals, but they are coming from the same sources of food.
