27/M/6’3ish/202.8lbs.
Hi all. Been following for awhile. Started stricter CICO back in July, began lifting weights more seriously back in April, began lazily losing last January. Gone from 257.6 to my lowest of 200.8. That was last week. This week I somehow gained 2 lbs?
I ”officially” weigh myself every Sunday in the morning and at night to try and better account for water weight or waste, but I weigh myself periodically throughout the week to ensure I’m on the right track. I’ve been stuck at a low end of 202.8ish since my last weigh in.
Granted, I went a couple hundred calories over 1500 (1000 kcal deficit) like 2 or 3 times this week but still well under my TDEE. All the other days were under 1500. Ive still done my 5 weight lifting workouts this week. I’ve stalled before, and yeah it’s frustrating, but I’ve never gained like this. It’s ruined my weekend and making me both angry and demoralized. It doesn’t make any sense. At the very most I should have stalled again, not gained.
I didn’t even eat awesome food, I’ve just been busy and stressed from midterms and the meals available were less than ideal (pasta/Chinese etc). As a result, I ate less. If I would have known that I was going backwards anyways I would have at least tried to enjoy myself, you know?
I’m not looking for motivation or platitudes. I’m looking for answers. I don’t understand how this happened. I’m so close to being under 200 for the first time since childhood. I’m less than 15 away from my goal. I’m shaken, to put it simply.
