holy hannah what a week. sorry I have been MIA so much lately.
Wednesday I worked evening,
Thursday I worked morning then took my kids on a play date.
Friday was my day off, I got called in for a 6 hour shift, ended up working a 14 hour shift.
Saturday I worked 7 to 3 then had to pick up a dog that belonged to a resident of mine, the dog had been home alone for 3 weeks, with the neighbor feeding her, I convinced my client to let me take the dog, my dad took her for me, and she gets to come to work with me once a week to see my client, but she needed a bath then I had to wait for my dad to get back in town to drop her off
Sunday said dog got sprayed by a skunk so I had to take her for another bath, also my oldests 13th birthday so busy with birthday fun
Today- too hot to workout, bleck, I did try, getting up early tomorrow before heat comes in. Had to go back and see the rescue dog, bring her more dog food because she wouldnt eat what she came with, also my dad brought her to my place where my dumb dog wasnt having it and tried going after the rescue dog, she was ok but sore so I brought her treats and asprin.
so its been busy, and my stomach is so mad at me for the crap ive been eating, im thinking on doing a day or 2 of a clear liquid diet to make my stomach feel better, we'll see how I feel tomorrow.4 -

I don't get it after yesterday's screw-up, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'll take it. Perhaps it was the massive walking I did over the weekend catching up...who knows?! Thanks @kmfeig87 and @DreaRN15 for your kind comments. I've already packed today's lunch and will carry on. Have a great day all! Jessica7 -

Since then, I feel like I'm starving...not sure if it's just my head playing tricks with me, but tonight I just ravaged way too much food. Am I crazy? Is it just a "change" that's getting me...or does it take time to work into a caloric drop? Be gentle...
It could be that you need to get used to it, it could be psychological, it could be that you're just eating too few calories. That's the big difference between starving mode and fasting. And that's why I can no longer do calorie count.
On fasting you're still getting enough calories and have big proper meals during re-feeding, while on calorie restriction you're just reducing your metabolism and put your body into starvation mode, resulting in you having to add 30min at the gym every time you lower it to compensate for the reduction in the metabolism, leading you to get into starvation mode.
Personally, I'm doing keto and IF, which allows the body to go into fat burning mode, while you can have as much protein and fat as you want during re-feed. There are times I eat 2000 calories in one meal, and still lose weight as I'm staying in ketosis.
Of course you should follow you doctor if you feel it's working. I am NOT trying to force my strategy for weight loss upon anyone here. Just want to make that clear. I'm just explaining what works for me, after have tried doctors, PTs, and nutritionists attempts to get me to lose weight but failed.1 -

Sigh, looked at my personal progress chart today. Evidently I've been in maintenance for just over a year now without intending it. I lost 20 easy peasy and now I'm stuck at about 200 +/- 3. I know it's my lack of discipline (eyeballed portions, failed logging, cheating, etc). I also can't run anymore, that is a big factor too, it makes burning calories pretty efficient. I need that "last straw" moment to hit me again. I had it years ago and it carried me to within a pound of goal and then the motivation disappeared slowly. Not a unique problem around here I know, just feeling the need to vent.6

I have litterally been maintaining for 2 years, Im trying hard now, but the past few days I was slacking on my diet. my sons birthday was sunday so of course we had cake galore, luckily there are only 4 cupecakes left, so Ill make my kids eat them, lol. Its been upsetting my stomach, I wish knowing that I will feel like crap if i eat crap would stop me from doing it, but it doesnt, ugh.2 -
I got back from camping on Sunday and I'm leaving again on Friday. Most everything is packed but there is still so much to do. I also work full time so I'm trying to do everything after work. I don't have time to keep track of my eating. I hope I'm doing okay. Have a great day everyone.4

That's not very encouraging. But look at it like this instead... You didn't gain weight. I always gain when I start eyeballing and those things.
I know you've tried intermittent fasting (and maybe keto too). But I'm still advocating for it. I've lost 11lbs in the past month doing IF and keto, without any exercise. No walking, no running, no weights. Been work, and TV. You don't have to go keto even. Some don't even switch diet, only when to eat.
Maybe try that again? Throw in some 24h fasts. If I don't remember incorrectly, you did have some success with it.0 -
