I have been googling adrenal fatigue and adrenal failure since you mentioned it. Lots of advice on the "net" about it. I hadn't heard of it before. The body is using stored nutrients for fuel instead of carbs or fat and depleting the system? Sounds scary!
I kept seeing "Eat breakfast and frequent meals throughout the day. Eat more whole grains". ???
I imagine that you will be experimenting with your diet to try to combat it.
Good luck!!!
Thanks Dawn❤ Yes. You know that I will be experimenting. Lol.
The first time (?) I experienced adrenal fatigue, 2002 (that I now know to call it that) I was eating a normal low carb diet, which included whole grains and I had trained myself to eat breakfast. I also exercised 3 hrs daily. The exercise wasn't forced. I just like to exercise, but it was too much. Excellent diet, plenty of exercise, drinking lots of water, could not lose weight. In 2003, I was able to drop the extra weight.
•When I hit the weight stall last year in the 170's, I was thinking that I should add more carbs to my diet, vegetables. No grains. I can't eat grains anymore (intolerance) and I'm allergic to wheat. I love crusty bread, but I don't miss it. Occasionally, I will eat a small naan bread or croissant. Keto and IF has been good for me. What I'm thinking to do now is, first, eliminate daily stevia consumption in my coffee. It could be what is holding up my weight loss, if I have developed an intolerance to it. Next, drop IF hours back to 16/8, then maybe 12/12. I've been trying to step it down. It is really going to take a conscious effort, i.e., forced, because I am rarely hungry.
•Except for a 2 year period, I have never been a breakfast eater, even as a child.
Yes, I know a few people who have become intolerant to grains as we age.
I do force myself to eat a tiny breakfast, but I am like you, rarely hungry - at least during the daytime lol.
I am sure that you will play around with it and figure it out.2 -

Catching up...I had a gain in October and breaking 125 was just a one-time thing, lol.
Good thing is that I have been weighing in around 125 for 7 weeks now. Not quite how I want things to go but eventually I'll break 125 consistently - especially now that I have a part-time job.
(Hoping that I can manage FT and PT job for the next 2 to 3 months - wish me luck!)

Have a bit of a bump to work on. I switched from 5 mile walks to indoor cycling at home. Because of an issue with my right foot. Very painful on the bottom of foot next to ball of foot. Using all kinds of padded stuff in shoes, a callus protector on foot. And it is back, I am tired of trying different things with this, with no real success. So off to the Dr. on Monday the 11th.

November Loss ~
Thoughts: I seem to be back to steady progress. The Trend Weight and projected loss is wonky due to the data anomaly in that whoosh and spike. It will catch up soon enough. My Fitbit summary is also wonky from sitting on the charger a day and a half. Ok. Maybe it's me that's wonky.
November Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)- Continue Meal Planning
- Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
- Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal
- No calorie intake after 8pm.
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000 - 2190
- Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 34
- Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day
Strength Training:
Squats, lunges, push-ups (elevated), arm circles, side bends, & tricep lifts. Adding planks and transitioning regular push-ups to scapula push-ups.- 11/3-6 - 50, 50, missed, Rest ✔

I had problems with my foot for so many years with my right foot too. I tried so many things and some of them quite expensive (orthotics). I happened along Vionic shoes a few years ago and have found relief. If caught on sale they are about $79 bucks CAD. I don't represent them or anything, but as someone who went from pain and works on my feet every day this has been a lifesaver.
The doc said that it is arthritis, but the shoes have saved me big time. I don't have a vested interest or anything, but they were life changing for me.
They are online at Vionic.ca or probably Vionic.com or Amazon, also most chiropractors carry them but are much more expensive for the same exact shoes. Very quick shipping. I have the walkers, some loafers, and some runners.
Maybe worth a try for you.2 -
Will post here for now.
11/1 - 141.5 good start to the month, but up a bit from yesterday.

@maureenkhilde, I'm sorry that you are suffering foot pain. Sounds like metatarsalgia or a very deep callus has formed over your metatarsal bone. Both extremely painful. My mother had the callus. It took a long time to get rid of. She had rheumatoid arthritis in her feet. I've had metatarsalgia, plantar faciitis and still suffer with mortons neuroma. They all can be overcome, but @dawnbgethealthy is right, special shoes make the healing process more comfortable. I hope whatever your podiatrist prescribes is a help.

November Loss ~
Thoughts: I'm tweaking my eating plan as we head into cooler weather, and hoping to break through this flat line.
So. I'm "off" work today and have time to focus and think. October was a weird month for me. I had a huge, quick drop on the scale, then a spike right back to where I was. For no apparent reason. I've done two things moving into November.
I saw a simple eating plan that a friend of mine shared. Fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch, anything I want for dinner. I'm doctoring it a bit for me.
Fruit WITH breakfast. Everyday. Seems a great way to ensure I am eating fruit. I like oatmeal in cooler weather - so this should be easy to maintain.
Salad for lunch. Ummm, Maybe. I love salad in warm weather, and I've been doing this or leftovers from the previous night's dinner. But you almost have to force feed it to me once the temps drop. I think I will try a handful of baby spinach at lunch in some form. I can top it with a warm protein or "healthy up" a sandwich. I also like it thrown into scrambled eggs, or as an add in for soup. Yeah. I can handle this. I'm starting Pinterest collection for healthy vegetable-based soup recipes.
Dinner is pretty much set, and the idea of "anything" is appealing as long as I avoid a whole cheesecake. I will continue weekly meal planning with "healthy" in mind. And, while I'm hunting for soup recipes, I'm keeping an eye out for healthier versions of the comfort foods I lean towards in the winter.

@dawnbgethealthy My husband and I are hoping to save for our honeymoon next year - Japan. But, honestly, I'm not getting my hopes up as it may go towards helping family.
Positivity is a big part of my life - having said that, if the money goes to family, I know we will be "rewarded" for our efforts now, later in the future. I never expect to be paid back with physical cash because family is important and I don't want to let something like money come in the way of us being what we are - family.5 -

@maureenkhilde Like dawn, I also use Vionic shoes. Orthoheel is also made by them. These shoes have saved my life. It has allowed my feet to heal, so even when walking barefoot inside my house, NO MORE PAIN!! I would never walk or shop without them. I usually have to pay about $99.99 online but the price has been the same for at least 10 years and WORTH EVERY PENNY. I also, am not affiliated to the company in any way. Just trying to help. They take a minute to get used to the feel but look like just plain leather walking shoes. Nice lasting quality.3 -
I have never heard of the Vionic brand, but had to purchase Othofeet about 6 months ago because of my heels. I did tons of research and this same brand kept coming up. They are about $150.00 a pair, but have saved my life. Just like @deepwoodslady I couldn't walk in my house without shoes on because the pain was so bad. Now I am finally getting my steps back in and doing a lot better. I will definitely check out this other brand. I need a new pair and hate spending so much money on shoes. It sounds like the Vionic brand is cheaper and does the same thing. So thank you very much for the info @deepwoodslady and @dawnbgethealthy !

If I keep working the 2nd job, I may meet my Ultimate Goal before the end of the year. I'm standing for a few hours at the second job so my calories burned go up from the typical 100 - 300 calories to 600 calories on the days that I work and in combination with only eating 1200 calories daily some weight loss occurs.
I will attempt to increase my calories to 1300 - 1400. I am not used to losing 2 lbs in one week.

Hey Everyone
I keep checking back for a new thread, after being a part of this challenge for over a year it feels strange not to have my weekly spot. I appreciate all of the effort Sam has put in to keep this running and will keep a lookout for a comeback.
A number of us also do the “Give me 10 Days” daily weigh in, it’s a very supportive and welcoming group and you can weigh in as much or as little as you want. So if any of you are looking for a new weigh in spot please hop on over to round 95.3 -
Even if there's no November, I bet we'll get a December. I hope @SamanthaLouiseMence is ok.2

A number of us also do the “Give me 10 Days” daily weigh in, it’s a very supportive and welcoming group and you can weigh in as much or as little as you want. So if any of you are looking for a new weigh in spot please hop on over to round 95.
Yes, I have hopped over. Thanks : - )
Somebody else took this thread over at one point when it didn't look like it was going to happen after 5 days, but we are almost a third of the way through the month now and nobody has done that this time.
This has also been my "go-to" also since I started on MFP.
I echo you @mtaratoot hoping that @SamanthaLouiseMence is okay.2
