Besides the achy joint pain no matter what I do, the debilitating heartburn every time I eat something semi spicy, and waking up 3 times a night to take a piss. Getting older aināt half bad.

I think I may have mentioned that Iām in the nutrition program at my gym. I confessed to my nutrition coach that I secretly still get my sweets in because I canāt help it! I love my doughnuts! 
This however is putting a halt to my baby six pack abs. And, in addition to trying to get me to lay off the sweets, my nutrition coach is trying to get me to get my 10K steps in a day to help move things along because the numbers arenāt budging. 
Iām currently sitting at 135lbs. and Iām trying to get anywhere from 125 - 130lbs. What has everyone done when theyāve plateaued?

Keep your metabolism off guard, eat at deficit most days and at surplus once every week or two. That doesnāt mean eat whatever, just eat a little more. Hit protein goals. I also suggest going by how close fit and not the scale, trading fat for muscle can make that scale sit still (not to mention how much weight the body can fluctuate in any given day). Keep after it, youāre doing great

For the most part, I do well a majority of the week. I have my lean protein, veggies, 1/4 of a sweet potato, and now incorporated a side of leafy greens w/lime juice & pieces of avocado. I think whatās killing me is the snacking. I canāt help it then I reach for the sweetsā¦ doughnuts, chocolate, chipsā¦ 
I usually have two cheat meals a week and itās mainly a burger with fries or Mexican food. I feel like Iām partially disciplined but really need to hone in on it.

Interesting method, Iām going to try this! My coach does have me on a calorie deficit. I just have to cut out the sweets to avoid surpassing it! 
A lot of clothes that didnāt fit me now do though. The abs arenāt peaking out yet. Iām just aiming for little baby ones.

Out for another entire week with a virus from hell. Iām not usually much bothered w colds but this was something else. Goddam this year sucks so fucking bad so far, guys.
Came back strong today w a push day, still half dead tho tbh but couldnāt wait anymore. 
Did I mention the PT estimates Iāll be back to fully functioning right arm by September. I miss having arms. Sigh. I wonāt be filling out my tops this summerā¦
Edit I was gonna add a pic of my wl communterās prepped food for 1.5days but it wonāt load. This week itās a boatload of sandwiches, vegetable soup w tuna and joghurt for breakfast w berries. Most of my writer colleagues seem to live on ciggies and I heard someone say last week how he eats fruit loops out the box for breakfast cute. I guess weāre all different weird. 
Hold on to your happiness, friends, wherever it glints at you.

This is all very new to me at age 52. Since the start of Feb I have lost 11.8kg starting off at 116.8kg and my target weight is around 90kg. Doing around 14k steps each day which involves a 3.8km walk each night. Healthy eating, gym/basic weights every 2nd day and boxing training once or twice a week. Itās truly a great way for me to stay sober and live a much healthier life. Take inspiration from people like David Goggins and the like.

Heck yes, inspiration right there! Welcome to the thread and great to hear about what youāre doing!
One thing that comes to my mind is that w boxing, weights and proper eating youāll gain some muscle and youāre not looking extremely overweight rn for your frame, so 90 might prove to be a bit low - but thsts not for now anyway. one day at a time, my friend.
Keep that fire going.

Thank you so much. Iāve not felt this self confident and mentally strong in many many years. The thing that confuses me most is the amount of differing info about what is best for you as in training wise and nutrition, but Iām absolutely loving the journey thus far.

Haha yes you look it and thatās fabulous to see!
Iāve posted this many times, itās super helpful: The Leangains Macro Calculator | RippedBody.com
This will help you calculate your macros. Your goal from what I read is some weight loss (tho again I doubt itāll be another 25kg) and body recomposition, so you should be in a slight caloric deficite (use that in the calculator). High deficite and you wonāt have the energy to lift and box and youāll lose your passion if youāre just starting out.
Your training plan I absolutely dig: some weights, some cardio and applied fitness and mobility w the boxing plus walking which is just overall nice for the mind also.
Good luck and donāt hesitate to use the good folks on this thread for advice, Iāve asked many times myself.
