    Well speaking of refeeds and monthly cycles, mine is here four days early. I'd been pretty regular after giving birth - got cycle back at four months postpartum and maintained a 28 day cycle for the first time in my life without hormonal birth control. Now it's day 24 and sigh, it's here. I hardly had any time to get my hopes up of being knocked up.

    Again with more ramblings you did not ask for - I've got refeed grass is greener syndrome. Totally a real thing I didn't just make up. Leading up to the diet break, I couldn't wait to eat at maintenance and have all these delicious additional calories. Now that I'm eating at maintenance, I can't wait to get back to my deficit. I miss the "high" of seeing the scale drop each week (usually). I'm sure once I have that, I'll miss maintenance.

    Eczema. I'm totally marketing this as the best diet evah. PM for deets :tongue:

    You know, now that I think of it, that could be the other reason why even at doctors' appointments, there was never much weight change with the pred. I was on it for chronic hives that lasted for five months... So it it was similar to your eczema effect, that would make a lot of sense.

    Well, yeah, and trying not to scratch this is a challenge...

    But hey, if you can put up with it, you get to eat at estimated TDEE and lose weight!

    Oh man, Nony, that's just wrong. I wish I could lend you some extra skin to replace it (God knows I have enough to donate). So sorry you have to live with that.

    Thank you :) My psycho immune system would just make a mess of that skin too though unfortunately!

    I'm so sorry. That looks miserable.

    Gosh, Nony, that looks terrible! I have zero experience with steroids and all I know about eczema is some babies get it, usually clears up by two years old, and some moms put breast milk on it.

    I'm such a sick puppy that I'm kind of impressed that my body can do that :tongue: I could do without the itching and pain though.

    And yes, most common in babies and toddlers, most people outgrow it. Other than the occasional stress-related flare, I pretty much had outgrown it, until perimenopause. Kicked up summer of 2016 (January), was not too bad winter of last year, came back with a vengeance last December, was able to identify some food triggers (things that I had been fine with previously) and eliminating those helped, but it's definitely got a large seasonal component to it. And getting worse each year.

    Bahahahaha, so I decided to double up on flaxseed oil in my salad for EFAs, thought I should measure it since I don't know what 10ml looks like sitting in my lemon juice. Apparently I don't know what 5ml looks like either (yes, I know it's weird that someone as precise on logging as me doesn't measure their oil!), and have been under-dosing. Bahahahaha. Of course it's only something like 20 cals a day max that I'm over-logging. But from now on I shall measure my oil...

    Right, looking to come in with around a ~280 cal surplus, 179g of protein.

    It's funny when that happens.

    I had a bit of the opposite reaction last night. Peanut butter is a "sometimes" food in my house, because it's delicious, and if I'm not careful, I can devour the whole container in a week.

    So I'd be a little lazy last week -- since it was generally a sucky week -- about weighing it out, and instead just scooping a spoon out, and calling it good.

    But last night, I decided that OK, let's weigh it, just so I can see how awful I was being, and then get back on track.

    Oops. It turns out that no, I wasn't underestimating ... What I scooped out was actually *half* of what I thought I was eating.

    I have my day after the day after weight bump. 3lbs up. Impressive. My hip is still a bit narked off at me so not working out again today. The mental fatigue struggle is real too, bleh.

    Love the new profile picture @VintageFeline .

    I seem to have settled in to 2 pounds above my previous low weight, which is about where I would be normally after a weekend refeed, so that's good after Thanksgiving's indiscretions.

    I just started the new lower dose of thyroid meds. It will be interesting to see what this dose to my loss patterns, if anything. It's just a minor adjustment.

    If you lost an extra 1.5 lbs over the past four days, that's a rate of an extra 0.375 as a multiplier, if you want to math it out to a daily number to aim for.

    At the rate you're going, it's 2.625lb/week, which is a weekly deficit of 9187.5kcal, or an extra loss of 1312kcal per day.

    Optionally, you could incorporate the multiplier to your current calculated maintenance and add that result to your current intake.. which even at 2000kcal hypothetical maintenance is an additional 750kcal per day..

    How hungry are you? Lol.

    For sanity's sake, if you're actually trying to halt the loss, have the mid-week refeed.

    Well, some of it may be residual fat loss from last week's hypothetical late phase luteal deficit. Who the hell knows?!! I could just roll with it and be at goal by the end of the week :tongue: . There's also the possibility that some of it is water weight, though I don't feel dehydrated (and I am super sensitive to dehydration). But even if only half of it is eczema-generated, that's still a fair whack.

    Energy level is not awesome today, but better than yesterday, so I am going to try to get through strength training, but that won't put me far above sedentary (which at my size is piss all in terms of cals).

    Oh, and pred is catabolic. It's gonna eat ma muscles!! Though, probably not in ten days, but good incentive to up protein even more and train.

    Yeah a short stint on pred is fine :wink: Overall, let's call the loss a residual catch-up from the past week + rash flare-up + water loss/fluid redistribution and excretion. Personally, I'd just bump up my protein to 1.5-2g/lb/lbm lol. That's my usual lever for recovery needs.

    Um, wanna take a guess at my lean body mass for me?? :tongue: I'd guess me at around 25% BF

    (legit if you want to, I can send you the link to my progress pics)

    I'll give it a shot. I'm usually within a reasonable margin of error.

    I'm generally better at assessing the men folk since I have more practice with them and women's bf distribution skews visual accuracy.. plus not very many women like to hear that my objective assessment is brutally higher than they'd like lol.

    I think this is an ED thing. And it's why I weigh my food even though I am incredibly good at eyeballing. That oil puddle would have been the right size originally (measured). I've just made it smaller and smaller.

    I don't doubt that it is. I know when I've spot checked oil, I've been surprised that a tablespoon is more than I think a tablespoon is, or that, say, 2 ounces of pasta is *a lot* of pasta -- and that's with my *always* weighing pasta.

    Will send you both the link. @anubis609, I invite brutal honesty. Not going to meet my goals with people going 'no, no, you look great, don't need to do a thing!!'. And yeah, my shape is a *kitten* to assess, I admit. IRL people see the tiny torso and seem to miss the hips and thighs that balance that out!

    Also, four hours sleep, just to add to the feeling *kitten* great. And that was drug (benzo) induced.

    Weight: stable, actually up 100g. OMG, youse guys told me to eat more and I got fat!!! :tongue:

    I'm an expert in making t3h gainz!! (◕‿◕✿) jk, I still have to get through a leanbulk cycle. Lol.

    Your shape is actually the prototypical female. Carrying more torso fat (proportionally) would be more of an androgenic assessment, and it's just not as common among women, though they would be better at Olympic and powerlifting for their body type.

    Pfft, I am hourglass. Most women would kill for that base shape! My waist is still slightly out of sync for true hourglass (it's about an inch too big), but it will be made to conform.

    If you lost an extra 1.5 lbs over the past four days, that's a rate of an extra 0.375 as a multiplier, if you want to math it out to a daily number to aim for.

    At the rate you're going, it's 2.625lb/week, which is a weekly deficit of 9187.5kcal, or an extra loss of 1312kcal per day.

    Optionally, you could incorporate the multiplier to your current calculated maintenance and add that result to your current intake.. which even at 2000kcal hypothetical maintenance is an additional 750kcal per day..

    How hungry are you? Lol.

    For sanity's sake, if you're actually trying to halt the loss, have the mid-week refeed.

    Well, some of it may be residual fat loss from last week's hypothetical late phase luteal deficit. Who the hell knows?!! I could just roll with it and be at goal by the end of the week :tongue: . There's also the possibility that some of it is water weight, though I don't feel dehydrated (and I am super sensitive to dehydration). But even if only half of it is eczema-generated, that's still a fair whack.

    Energy level is not awesome today, but better than yesterday, so I am going to try to get through strength training, but that won't put me far above sedentary (which at my size is piss all in terms of cals).

    Oh, and pred is catabolic. It's gonna eat ma muscles!! Though, probably not in ten days, but good incentive to up protein even more and train.

    Yeah a short stint on pred is fine :wink: Overall, let's call the loss a residual catch-up from the past week + rash flare-up + water loss/fluid redistribution and excretion. Personally, I'd just bump up my protein to 1.5-2g/lb/lbm lol. That's my usual lever for recovery needs.

    Um, wanna take a guess at my lean body mass for me?? :tongue: I'd guess me at around 25% BF

    (legit if you want to, I can send you the link to my progress pics)

    I'll give it a shot. I'm usually within a reasonable margin of error.

    I'm generally better at assessing the men folk since I have more practice with them and women's bf distribution skews visual accuracy.. plus not very many women like to hear that my objective assessment is brutally higher than they'd like lol.

    Will send you both the link. @anubis609, I invite brutal honesty. Not going to meet my goals with people going 'no, no, you look great, don't need to do a thing!!'. And yeah, my shape is a *kitten* to assess, I admit. IRL people see the tiny torso and seem to miss the hips and thighs that balance that out!

    Also, four hours sleep, just to add to the feeling *kitten* great. And that was drug (benzo) induced.

    Weight: stable, actually up 100g. OMG, youse guys told me to eat more and I got fat!!! :tongue:

    Responded. And you are right, you are hard to assess.

    They add ten lbs too, so I hear.
