    My weight hasn't gone down in the past 2 weeks

    Hey guys so I'm currently 223 at 6"0 and I would say im about 30% body fat.

    I started at 245 about 2 and a half months ago and I've been losing a good amount of weight but the problem I'm having now is that for the past 2 weeks or so when I weigh in I'm always at 223.

    I tried different scales and the one at my gym and it pretty much said the same thing.

    My diet has been consistent, my caloric intake is between 1000-1500 calories each day. I also do 30 mins of cardio 5 days a week unless I'm bored of it then I just do strength training.

    I'm not really sure what I should do, should I lower my calories under 1k or do something else? I pretty much fast throughout the day and eat between 5-8 pm.

    Thanks!

    Might just be a stall, they can happen for 3-4 weeks so don't panic yet.

    Also your calories are way too low, yes higher body fat individuals can sustain bigger deficits but yours are very low.

    Sounds like it stalled to me too, your intake is very low. Make sure you are getting enough water each day also.

    I noticed on my last cut, that if you do alot of cardio "especially on a large deficit", keep track of your heartrate also. I saw that my HR is near 180 or so on the treadmill, but after going hard all week, by friday I couldn't seem to get it over 150, and my weight barely/didn't change that week. "I was doing 2+ hours cardio each day though"

    edit - Almost same stats here also, going hard 5 days/week+ cardio, but gaining weight at 2200, I need to drop back to 1700-1900 to lose anything, everyones different.
