Need help losing weight after hitting a wall
Post Body

Back ground, I was about 470 lbs fall of 2019. I started eating better, cutting pop and watching what I ate, killing sugar foods, and eating more greens. I then started fasting 16/8 hours, 16 not eating and 8 eating, which worked and I lost around 50 lbs, getting to around 420 lbs. But then I hit a wall and in the last year or so I havent lost any thing. Right now Im between 420 and 430 lbs, because Im using a work scale to record weight and its a floor scale used for weighting up to 1000 lbs. Anyways Im asking on what I can do to start losing again. Im still doing the fasting because it works for my job. I start eatting between noon and 2pm and stop eating between 7pm to 9pm, and dont sleep till about 10 pm so Im not sleeping right after I eat. Its hard to go to the gym with my job due to getting off on time, and with kids doing after school stuff. I walk around 5 to 7.5 km per day from my job, and some lifting also between 5-50 lbs when I do lift items at work. My calories per day are between 1500 to 2500 and again no pop and low junk food, sweets and fast food items. From what Im told my weight should have around 4000 calories per day just to substain my weight, and around 3500 to lose 2-4 lbs per week. But its so hard to do that when fasting. So need some tips/help on what to do to start losing again.

P.S. I do use an app on calorie counting, and Im also recording the right amount I eat. Alot of people are saying that is how people are falling short when hitting a wall on weight lost, is that they think they only ate one cup of this, but in fact it was three cups etc... When recording my food intake I go by the back label and if I cant use the back label I weight up my foods on a food scale.

Thanks for any tips or help.
