I’m no expert, but have you considered intuitive eating? At least as a reset, to eat what you truly feel like your body needs/deserves. Hopefully this will help you stop obsessing over a weight loss number, and then you can start making healthy choices
Perhaps try to shift from counting every calorie to just developing healthier habits? Can you work in more fruits and veggies, cut sweets and make 2h for exercise each week? Once the habits are in place and you’re focused on a better lifestyle, it gets easier to track things like calories without self-sabotaging. Make the weight loss an outcome of your healthier lifestyle, not the focal point! You can do this!!!
I do Noom and I’ve lost about 10 lbs. I start at a base of 1200 and get more calories allocated based on exercise.
A few thoughts:
-water is huge
-I can’t get through the day on 1200 calories, but even a little bit of exercise will up my calorie count to a doable amount
-fruits and veggies are huge. I start my day with oatmeal and fruit and it’s really filling. Amazing how few calories are in a salad, minus dressing
I was doing really well before my vacation in July. And lost 3lbs (not much I know, but it was some progress). Now I’m just having trouble. I can’t fit into my old clothes anymore. When I try to count calories I obsess about my next meal/snack and find I’m super hungry and eventually end up eating crappy food. Anyone have some tips? I feel like my motivation is gone! And I hate thinking about when I first lost the weight because it was in an unhealthy manner (extreme calorie cutting and working out). I used to eat only 1000-1200 cals a day after my workouts and burn around 300-400 cals back then. I just don’t know what to do next. Was thinking of joining personal training with a focus on nutrition. Or joining something like orangetheory so I’m not half-a**ing at home workouts.

I'm also in this position:(
Don’t be scared to go to the gym. I’ve been going since July 2020 with 0 problems
Let me know if you want an accountability partner! I am 5’6 & weigh the same as you and want to lose the weight too!
Once you cut back on junk food/sweets, you’ll retrain your brain to not enjoy it as much. It’s really about developing a habit and gaming your own psychology more than anything (IMO). IF has helped me lose the constant sugar cravings.
