Hiii - was trying to CICO before my wedding in September, and given my height (5’2) and activity levels (moderate-high), I landed at 1500 per day in order to be in calorie deficit. I walk 4-5 days a week & lift 3x a week.

The first month (April) went pretty well, I shaved off about 2 pounds, but it was also coming out of a big trip where I was stuffing myself so it felt “easy”.

However, now that we’re approaching the end of May, I’ve noticed my weight has more or less stayed the same since end of April. I’m not close to my goal at all. Has any experienced plateauing like this? One thing I will say is I don’t really feel hungry anymore, the way I did in the first month. Did my body adjust to my calories and do I need to lower the daily cals again? I just don’t want to lower it too much since I need the energy for weightlifting. I feel myself getting stronger, but hard to see the gains when there’s flab.

Any insight or advice appreciated!

I feel like wedding planning has stalled for me. All the vendors are booked - I don’t have a wedding planner but I do have a “day-of coordinator” who will help during the month leading up to the day.

Is there anything I really need to be thinking about at this stage? It feels close but also far. I’m just winging wedding planning on my own, but everyone keeps asking me if I’m stressed and I’m like… no? Should I be? Lol.
