I am currently running MAPS Anabolic, hitting 8,000-10,000 steps per day, and "inconsistently" tracking my calories and macros, averaging about 2,400 calories per day. My daily step goal used to average around 17,000-20,000, and I maintained a weight of around 205-210 lbs while teaching a high volume of classes. Now, I am struggling to drop below 246 lbs and 30+% body fat. What can I do to achieve my weight loss goals?
