My first impression is that I'm seeing a lot of cups, tbsp, pieces, etc. These are much less accurate than using a food scale to weigh your servings. There can be a big margin of error for logging in that way. My guess would be that you are eating more than you actually realize, which is why you stopped losing weight when…

In chitchat and fun&games, yes. I don't know that there are many people following that diet, to be honest. Did you try searching for other threads? If my memory serves me correctly, I think I've only seen a handful of threads on this diet over the time I've been here. The responses in those threads were... interesting.

Not sure about the relation to a specialized diet, but with snoring often a sign of sleep apnea, if it's left untreated, the exhaustion can influence both decision making and hormone levels.

Garlic can also thin the blood, which is an important consideration for some people. Several good things about it here: https://examine.com/supplements/garlic/

With an overnight change, I'd be questioning the possibility of something else going on, like a UTI.

You might need to adjust things a few times before you get it just right, but keep playing with it. You'll get there, as long as you don't give up!

Definitely! It's worth looking at things from different angles to pick apart what might work.

I wouldn't worry about the inches too much at this point. It's very easy to get a slightly different position on the tape, leading to inaccuracies. How many calories are you eating? How much sodium are you getting? Is the walking new?

For protein, I usually have meats, dairy products, eggs, egg whites, and protein powder (when needed - lately it's more needed than usual, because I'm trying to get by on limited grocery trips). I have been more carb heavy lately myself, with everything going on, I've been baking my own buns, tortilla wraps, and biscuits,…

Eating less will often trigger hunger signals. I find that last about a week. 1520 isn't too bad though. Maybe increase that for a couple days and then slowly cut back. I find that getting enough protein, fat, and fibre makes a big difference in how hungry I feel. Maybe look at what you are eating and see if you can make…

Not sure about the US, but in Canada, you don't have to have a membership. Someone bought me a cash card some time ago and I finally used it a couple weeks ago. I had to go to the desk and get a day pass. I exceeded the cash card value by $75. They were fine with that as long as I paid by debit, they wouldn't accept credit…

You sound frustrated. With just a quick glance at what you had done, I can't think of any reason why it would cause this effect. Opening up your diary could be helpful here. There are so many inaccuracies that sneak into the diary that we aren't aware of, some of the more seasoned members here could likely help spot these…

Thomas DeLauer looks like he's doing really well promoting his agenda (AKA, filling his wallet with people's money). OP, is there a reason why you want to do these extended fasts? Seems like unnecessary suffering to me. How much less that 1500 calories are you looking at eating each day? At the end of the day the next year…

I don't understand either why you would need low fat. Fat is so important to healthy body functioning (hormones, for example). I can understand controlling carbs for DM, but it doesn't necessarily need to be low carb. Many people with diabetes are able to manage with moderate carbs, but that's a very individual thing.…

That's not a complete picture of what happened. You also made claims that Vitamin C could help with COVID. I posted research supported evidence that this is simply not a conclusion that can be made. If your posts had been strictly about you being excited about your success, then I wouldn't have any issue with that. I do…

This is an entertaining and chilling look at MLMs including Herbalife. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MwGeOm8iI

It's only been a little over a month. Give your body some time to find a new normal. Some people find they have to keep their fat intake low, and other find that over time they can slowly increase the amount of fat in their diet.

Did you check the FitBit forums? https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Versa-Smartwatches/bd-p/versa

The article really is worth a read. (I was torn between anointed one or exalted one :wink: )

Some people gain with ovulation. 4 pounds over a couple days is not fat. It's a water weight swing for some reason or other. Read the article the annointed one posted and I suggest to keep doing what your doing for a while longer. If you're confident about how much you are eating, the downward trend will start again.

I'm on mobile, makes me slow :P

When is your period due? Did you eat something salty recently?

Look up specificity and sensitivity. All lab tests have a degree of error with false positives and false negatives. I don't have time to explain it at the moment, but will try to get back to this later.

:heart:

I think one thing to remember is that they aren't showing symptoms yet. The yet, is important. They may never show symptoms, but it could be a while before they do.

I'm sure they'd start with a request to don some outerwear and escalate to the police. I'm sure you'd get a warning. ;)

Wow. Body shaming friends? Who needs enemies? Work out in your underwear, if that's how you roll (maybe not at the gym though).

Your first week will contain some shift in water weight, so don't expect that type of loss every week. There might still be another bigger drop for week 2, but after that it should slow down. As for you question about adjusting calories, MFP should be adjusting them every 10lbs or so, but if it doesn't, you can go back…

Zombie, Run! Great app. Interesting story line.

I just checked. App doesn't have it, but you can go to the website on your device and it will be there.
