Hello everyone!
I am a little bit desperate... 4 years ago, I was overweight at 170ish pounds for 5'3". Went on a strict diet and lost 60 pounds over the course of 18 months. This was not the first time I'd dropped a significant amount of fat, so I continue to control what I eat even when I feel I am at a good weight.
My problem is I gained 7 pounds over the last few months. One factor may be that I'm stuck with tendinitis in my left glute because of running (yeah... I know...) so I have stop entirely since March. I went back on calorie control knowing that I would necessarily spend a lesser amount of energy weekly ( I ran between 40 and 55ks a week). I eat an average of 1200 calories/day on a given week now. I still workout 4-5 times a week (as much for my sanity as for weight loss), doing spinning, HICT and step classes, but I do not feel I am spending as much energy as when I ran.
And my weight is not moving. At all. Stuck @ 117 pounds. Want to go back to 110.
I do not feel I can go lower than 1200 cal/day average. But I do not know what else to do. Any sugestions?
Thanks a million
