31/M/178-180, 5'10 1/2. Have been on cico at a seemingly slow rate since like April. This is my second go around. I did it in 2016/17 and went from 264 to 155. I managed to get back up to like 210-219 and decided I need to get back on track. This time I have been a lot more lenient about "cheat days" and maintenance days so progress has been slower. I'm ok with that. However I've been on a plateau for a month and now and am starting to get a little annoyed. Today is my 7th day at 1500. Last Sunday I ate at maintenance. For 6 days before that I ate 1500. 2-3 of the rest of the days of the rest of the time out of those 4 weeks I ate whatever felt like. So really I have been at a defecit for way more than anything else and yet I just can't move past 178 for some reason. I weigh every day and it constantly bounces back and forth between 177.8 or so and 180 point whatever. IDK why. Previously if I'd have a cheat or maintenance day the scale would go up for 2 or 3 days and then swoosh back down to where it was and then some accordingly. For whatever reason that just stopped happening. I am sedentary as I'm not working but I did recently start wearing a fitbit and often activley try to get my 10,000 steps. The past 2 weeks I've gotten 2 or 3 days of 10,000 and every other is like 5-8 so I'm not completely inactive and I can see a good guage of what I'm burning with MFP and Fitbit linked and synced. Furthermore I have the negative calories adjustment turned on so it's even more accurate. Most days im left with a positive extra calories amount of about 3-500 it says I shojld be able to eat on top of my 1500. I don't of course. Also I drink about 67-85 oz of water a day as well as black cofee which I basically consider water lol. Anyways My considering dropping to 1200 to more match my TDEE. I've been waiting for that swoosh to happen like maybe I'd catch up and be down 4 pounds one day or something? But at this rate it seems like after a month of work I'm only gonna be down 2 which is really odd not to mention dissapointing considering the work I've done. I know males arent recommended to go below 1500. Should i risk it or not? Any advice and or input? I appreciate it. Thank you.
