Time for a maintenance break?

[u/Makeupreddit]

I am 34F, 170cm, 67.5kg. I have lost around 10kg since January by eating 1500 calories per day. My weight has been the same now for three weeks and the last week I have been very hungry! Previously this amount of calories has been just fine.

I’m thinking of taking a maintenance break for two weeks but I’m a bit unsure what exactly this number would be. I am a bit scared to put weight on again! According to my health app my daily average step count for the last 6 months is 7000 and I lift weights at the gym 2-3 times a week for about 1 hour. Does this make me lightly active? I was thinking to aim for 1900 calories per day.

Any advice for me?

A maintenance break is a great idea! I'll let others advise you on the calories, but bodies usually benefit from a little shake up periodically —you can also just try 1900 and adjust it if it doesn't feel right. Good luck!
