I'd also suggest weighing in when you wake up (post-bathroom visit) and not during the middle of the day.

Or you can switch up the kind of cardio you are doing. Maybe replace a session (or two) with HIIT.
I wouldn't replace a lifting session with cardio.

Wouldn't hurt to eat a lot of fibrous veggies along with lots of water. That should help some as well.

First of all, 18 pounds in 2-3 weeks is awesome, so congrats on that. Yes, some of that is water weight. Having said that, when did you last binge (2500 cals)? I ask because it could very well be...

That's what I thought you meant but did not want to assume.

Yes. If you are going to do cardio it is best to do it after your weight training.

What?

1. Diet
2. Diet
3. Diet

The only way you are going to shed any kind of weight is if you keep tight control over what you eat. If you are in the "I will eat whatever I want" camp then it goes...

If you aren't losing then you are probably eating too much. Drop your calories by a few hundred.

Some people find it helpful to start their meals off by drinking a full glass of water before they pick up their spork. I usually go through 2 - 4 glasses of water throughout my meals.

Nope. Plan and macros seem fine. Just remember to make adjustments in a few weeks, if you need to. Good luck!

Is your maintenance taking into account your activity? Seems a bit low for that much activity. Regardless, try eating at 2400 for a few weeks and then adjust, if necessary.

Yeah, that was directed at you. :)

Everything you describe is what I do when I cut and not when I have a cheat meal/day. lol

I guess I view a cheat meal as not only a break from my regular diet...

Yes, good idea.

You could try anything between 1500 and 1800 for a few weeks and then see where you're at. If you've lost too much, eat more. If you haven't lost much, eat less.
Everyone is different so its very...

Wow. And you calories have been the same, pre and post MMA/boxing? If so, you defintely should up your calories due the big increase in cardio from MMA and boxing.

^ And how do you know that you haven't gone over in calories? (playing devil's advocate)

How much protein are you taking in on a daily basis?
