Related Questions
I have a question about weight loss. I have been working out, following a diet, and tracking calories for 2 years and 3 months, but I'm still having issues losing weight. For the last 6 months, my weight has been the same even after increasing my workouts to 2 per day.
Why am I stuck at a certain weight?
I'm considering an 800 Cal diet like David Goggins. Currently, I am at 1400 calories, but after losing my first 30lbs, I wasn't seeing any more progress, so I went down to a 1200-calorie diet and maintained it for about 6 months, doing 45 minutes of Burn Boot Camp 5 days per week. However, there was no weight loss on the scale at all - just fluctuations of ±6 lbs from day to day. I've kept the 30lbs off for a little over a year, but I'm not moving and have not been for the past 6 months. I have PCOS, or what health professionals refer to as a form of PCOS, so I have had no luck losing weight. I was hoping to find insight or recommendations to step it up.
