If this was you, how would you proceed?

Had not seen this comment but I might have missed it. Non scale victory. Weight loss is a by product of better health. So look for non scale victories on your journey.

My house we measure weight but also inches. Waist, hips, thighs, and arms. Surprising sometimes when the scales don't move but you lose an inch off your waist. Even clothing like a belt every notch down is a victory.

Something else to consider when the scales stay put.

Thanks for this, as it was what I was going to suggest.
I have a smart measuring tape for this purpose. It's a little pricey but it's great.

protein "goals" are bullshit. I looked at the protein recommendations. tuna fish is one of the most dense proteins you can find. I'd have to eat like 9 cans a day. that'd just make me sick as a dog. and I'd never lose any weight.

by all means people ask for opinions then freak out when its not what they want to hear.

There is a difference between advice and assumptions. You assumed and yes, I was annoyed. But I did not “freak out.” If you think that was a freak out, I don’t know what to tell you. And you cannot control disregard protein goals; I meet mine daily without eating a single can of tuna fish, so not sure about that example.

i don't worry about any protein goal. i'll get adequate protein again when I stabilize at the weight I want to be at. you're probably getting a lot more calories than you think the counts are all over the place depending on who is stating the numbers.

If you're that worried about eating you will most probably never achieve a normal weight range.

"lifting" does noting to reduce your weight. you have to do cardio to burn calories.

plus you may have to jerk your body around a bit with some intermittent fasting.

Lifting burns calories. Why wouldn't it?

not that many. as compared to cardio.

its a lot of time in the gym which is a major Petrie dish.

"if this was YOU how would you proceed"

the people who live in a gym will say lift. of course.
