Oh no! That seems rather fast. I personally would be afraid of muscle loss. You may be creating a way too big deficit.

Could you ask your kids father financial help? I remember you said in your last thread that he takes care of the kids financially because you had to leave school to care for them. Maybe you should tell him about the stolen camera equipment and tell him that you need some financial help right now. I know I would call him.

I would call the police if my child did that to me but that's just my opinion. I wouldn't tolerate that in my home. He might need to be taught a lesson now while he's young. I know one thing for sure, he wouldn't continue to live in my home if he stole from me. Trust is earned not given. If he broke that trust, he'd have…

I'm so sorry. I wish I had advice for you

Yes but is this penguin doing keto or IF ?

Just wanted to say that I'm following along, I don't have anything really useful to add right now but I'm still reading here :)

Honestly I would just go find a gym that you do feel comfortable in. I wouldn't want to work out somewhere crowded like that either.

Some people naturally eat within16/8. Some people use IF as a tool to help them create a calorie deficit. That's all it is. Nothing magical. Some people find it helpful because they are able to stick to their Calorie allotment better using IF. I personally don't do it though. Weight loss comes from creating a calorie…

Could you please explain this further as this is not something I've heard of before? Does this mean create a calorie deficit and you'll lose weight?

There's so much misinformation floating around these forum about the keto diet . Calories do matter, keto isn't some magical weight loss diet like they claim. A Calorie deficit is still needed for weight loss.

Yep!!

Aren't you worried about catching the diabetes? Jeez! I'm just kidding. Enjoy your vacation.

I include treats all the time. I can't imagine life without having treats. I learned portion control and moderation so I can include treats into my daily life while still minding my weight. I found that deprivation only leads to misery in the end for me. I would end up over indulging after months of depriving myself.

I created a Calorie deficit

I buy prepackaged foods and what most would consider junk food. It's convenient for me and it tastes good. Obviously I don't eat it all day or anything outrageous but I definitely enjoy having a cookie or Hershey bar! Weight loss comes down to calories. Calories in Calories out. Clearly I'm not suggesting people eat…

Are you not concerned with dental hygiene? People wouldn't have any teeth left if they drank all that diet soda, right??? ;)

.. But....adulting is so darn hard!

Do you mean it's the best for you? If it's the best for you, that's awesome! Go for it! But it certainly isn't the best for me. I lost weight eating 200g of carbs per day so keto wasn't on my agenda. Keto might be the best for you but that certainly isn't the case for everyone. If you like it, go for it.

This! I have been there and it is awesome for those who live close by!

I would make a big batch of rice and beans. Vegetarian guests and meat eating guests can both enjoy it. It's easy to make and tasty. Pasta would be another good one.

Every single time I try to make it this happens. I am a terrible cook though so I just figured I did something wrong and never looked into why. I may try again now

Welcome Renee!

Op hang in there. Weight loss isn't linear. There's going to be times that the scale doesn't move. Keep on trucking though.

What would IF have to do with this OP? She's been stalled since Saturday and is still new so probably doesn't know that weight loss isn't linear yet. I surely didn't know either when I first started. IF helps people create a calorie deficit. Creating a calorie deficit- weight loss.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm around the same weight as the op currently and it would be extremely difficult for me to burn 700 in an hour. I'm not even capable of doing it, I'd probably pass out. Lol

Every human loses weight by creating a calorie deficit. Keto doesn't automatically cause weight loss. A Calorie deficit is still needed in order to lose weight. If you like keto then that's great, go for it! But your post is making it seem like keto alone caused you to lose weight. ( Besides the initial water weight loss)…

Hello and welcome!

Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like your issue is more of a logistics issue. I think a few bags of frozen veggies, a bagged salad and a couple pieces of fruit per week might be an easy way for you to have fruit and veggies for yourself that will last a bit and not cost a lot.

How would something with zero Calories cause weight gain? Weight gain occurs from a Calorie surplus. How would a diet soda cause a Calorie surplus? Weight gain doesn't happen because someone ate carbs or drank diet soda. Those are myths . It's actually harmful to this community to spread these myths because newcomers that…

I think you should do this at work and then report back as to what happens. Maybe take a video.
