Hello /fit/,

Fairly new to the fitness world. Backstory/current situation:

Was /fat/ going into 2016. 19yo 5'6 (yes ik ik) 250lbs. Got a job in a deli and lost 70 lbs over 2016 just from being on my feet all day and also having no time to eat between work and school. I actually sometimes went a couple of days without eating. The no food cycle stopped after the spring semester ended and I had free time. Fast forward to November, I'm 180 lbs and decide to head to my local USMC recruiter and join up. Ever since I went to get medically cleared and sworn in in January, I've been going to workouts with my recruiter and the other kids waiting to ship to boot camp. These are 2 hours a day 3x a week. Typically we start by doing a max set of pull ups, running about a mile, and doing various calisthenics, hiit, and buddy work outs before we run back and do another set of pull ups. Since I had /nogains/ before that I was absolute shit, but now I'm at least on par with most people there.

Went from:
1 pull up to 10
~20 crunches to ~65 (2 minutes timed)
Not being able to run 1/2 mile without having to stop to 11:47 1.5 mile (last time it was timed was in march, I'm confident I dropped at least 30 seconds
72 push ups in 2 minutes (can't lift any limbs or you stop at whatever you were at, I did about 1:30 in)

Just started going to an actual gym and doing basic stuff

My problem, however, is that for the life of me I can't drop below 180 lbs. I've definitely put on significant muscle mass from when I started and my clothes are getting looser (went from a 36 to 32 waist)

I aim for about 1800-2000 calories a day and get the right amount of protein

Tl;dr training for a few months, good fitness improvement, 1800-2000 calories a day, weight won't change

What do /fit/
