Trust the journey, trust the process.
Incorporating rest and recovery around shiftwork, plus trying to fit in training and daily steps....has been a struggle this week. Glad weight is still coming down, was.scared thst if I plateau, that I may need to decrease calorie intake again. Not mentally prepared for less calories atm. Also have noticed with the freezing cold weather that I am more hungry...whats with that??🤷♀️

Since you asked me just curious what amount of calories are you eating now? And do you have a Fitbit or tracker estimating your TDEE?
For me I was encouraged at the start to eat like 1200-1500 a day and so I did but it was exhausting and it’s not enough food. I was very glad to realise that it wasn’t long term a great idea and started improving it. I think you saw a few months back when I did. I worked out my BMR for my height and weight and took my Fitbit TDEE and then I won’t that can be a bit off I adjusted it down by 300 cals and then I ate that amount for 2 weeks. At the end I was not gaining at all from increasing my calories by 700!! And I felt so much more satisfied and energetic. So I increased again until I sat at 2000 and I am losing on that amount. So my advice would be figure to out and eat that new amount for 2 weeks. You may gain the first week because you eat a lot more but it balances out. If you gain after then second week reduce it again by 100-200 cals and just keep doing this until you find that sweet spot. Hope this helps

I started on 1600 but wasn't counting food calories properly so probably consuming way more. Have gone down to 1500 and see how I go energy wise, hunger wise, and weight loss wise. I have been advised that 1300 is the goal for weight loss, however my day consists of alot of physical work and I lift weights and do cardio. So adjusting what my calories consist of and upping the protein. I have a pedometer and this app. That is it. I can't wear fitbits at work etc

If you are still losing weight then you have no need to reduce the calories further. 1300 calories is far too little when you are active. Honestly ignoring the multi billion dollar diet industry has been my success. You’ve been losing consistently for some time. If I can lose weight eating more than you and weighing less there is no reason why you should be eating less unless you are completely sedentary perhaps lol I’d say 1500 should be the minimum. I’m finding can also fit metabolism breaks into things like holidays and kind of use that time off to increase again and then just down by 100 cals again but only when the weight loss stops completely. Important to perhaps remember that 1200 calories is the minimum to survive. Have a read of this https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a32812773/calories-in-a-pound/
