I lost 60 pounds last year on the keto diet, having a hard time getting back into losing weight

I lost 60 pounds last year on the keto diet, having a hard time getting back into losing weightMy current stats are: Female, 23, 5'10", 250 pounds, non-smoker. April of 2015 I began the keto diet and lost 60 pounds in 6 months. I stopped by the beginning of October 2015 due to some personal changes and stress in my life, I stayed the same weight but did not lose anything. I tried to start again in December but after 1 month of not losing weight I got discouraged and stopped. This continued until the end of February when I decided just to focus on eating less calories to lose weight. According to my stats to maintain my weight I need to eat 2348 calories, and currently I'm eating 1348 calories a day to lose approx. 2 pounds a week. The problem is I'm not losing any weight, it's fluctuating by a few pounds during a week but it's staying around the same weight. I am very careful with measuring what I eat, I use my fitness pal, I also used it when I lost weight on the keto diet. I don't want to go back on the keto diet because I didn't enjoy only eating a small selection of foods, and if I did have a cheat day with carbs I would feel sick the next day. Also possibly related is that I lost a bunch of my hair during weight loss, so much so that I wear a wig now. I've had blood work done and I have no health issues. Medication wise I was on antidepressants for years until a few months before I started the keto diet, I was doing okay without them for awhile but started again this January. I go to school full time, I walk an average of 2-4 km a day and drink plenty of water. I don't know why I'm not losing weight anymore, it was so easy for me last year (I lost weight within the first couple of weeks) and now it's so discouraging that I can't even lose a few pounds in one month. I'm so motivated to continue to lose weight and get down to my goal of 170, I have cravings for pizza and other junk food but restrain myself constantly so that I can get back on track, but it's not working. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? submitted by /u/vronjay [link] [comments]
