Hello, I am 29F, SW 260, CW 238. This is my 3rd try losing a significant amount of weight. In 2018 I went from 280 to 180 by significantly cutting calories to under 1000 a day. I regained, and after pregnancy and breastfeeding, climbed to 330 lb by 2023. From mid 2023 to late 2024, I got down to 220lb by using Ozempic. I stopped using, and regained AGAIN to 260 lb, which has brought me here.

This time, I am trying to do things the healthy way and do a body recomp. I have been working out 4 to 5 times a week, hitting 7500 steps minimum, and logging calories. I just want to be sure I have everything dialed in for optimal results.

My calorie intake averages 1500 to 1800 a day. I try to hit 130 g of protein, , about 150 g carbs, and under 55g fat. I can add screenshots of calorie intake per week in the comments.

I will add my weekly workout routine below.
