Alas, I agree with the others that that is way too little sleep to sustain for very long. Having kids and working at the same time is difficult, and since I'm not in that situation I don't have any tips on how to deal. But I do know that lack of sleep can also wreak havoc on weight loss as well. Right now what I end up…

It's amazing what good fitting bras can do. I've lost 70 lbs and my bras were basically not doing any kind of supporting, so I finally broke down and bought new ones. And suddenly, people are noticing my "curves in the right places". And it feels much better now that I'm not having to adjust every five minutes. Mine aren't…

From what I understand, everyone has a different carb "threshhold" where if they eat above that, they can't go into ketosis, which is what causes the weight loss (since your body is burning fat). 20-25g or less is usually considered the safe range.…

Eventually it's going to even out and you'll get hungry more often, though still not as much as when you relied heavily on a diet of high carbs as is recommended by…

Trust me, I'm getting plenty of nutrition. I know what I'm doing. And I didn't come here looking for advice. :)

Looks like you're doing the keto diet, yeah? Or something very similar. On the days when you had <1000 calories, it looks like you recorded only two meals. A couple of times even less. Are you sure you recorded everything? Sometimes I average 700-900 calories and MFP yells at me whenever I'm under 1000. My philosophy is…
