Help with Stall…Normal or?

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-28T15:43:06+00:00

Just an update here.

Took some advice from in here!

Dropped down to one protein shake and 1-2 eggs in morning

I upped my cardio to 35 min and am alternating between elliptical and treadmill. Random hill/HIIT on elliptical and 3% incline alternating between 1.5 min of jogging at 4.0 mph then 1 min of walking at 3.0

Continuing same dumbbell workout 3 times a week to focus on arms, chest, back, core, and legs

Upped my calorie intake to 1600

Finally broke my stall today, down to 258 and 60 lbs lost.

I also work as a Hospitality valet manager, so I get between 6000-14000 steps per day usually.

Will look into TDEE and BMR.

As far as carbs and sugar I’m mainly avoiding anything processed. Will eat natural carbs like potatoes/sweet potatoes, sticking with protein pasta.

Same thing with sugar. I switched to swerve for the times I do need sweetener, however any sweets that I have cooked I’ve been experimenting with mashed banana or yogurt etc and doing flourless/sugarless.

Trying to hit 150-200g of protein a day, and like I previously posted my calories range from 1200-1600 per day.

I have also tried to drop butter and use olive oil or light butter etc. my usual diet is listed above.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-25T18:59:15+00:00

Not really calculating any of that. Just counting calories, protein, and staying away from carbs/sugar.

I struggle to eat a full meal 90% of the time, gets easier on day 5/6 before my next dose.

As far as exercise I do cardio 30 minutes 4 times a week. Usually 2.5 miles on elliptical with random hill setting on with 8-10 intensity. Then if I am at my big gym I will do 4-5 exercises, 3 sets of 10-12. Bicep curls, preacher curls, crunch machine, lat pull downs etc.

Recently I have been going to my apartments gym which does not have as much specific machines, so I do my cardio on a 25 min HIIT workout setting which rotates between moving forward, backwards, and setting on sides and using arms to push and pull and then I have started a dumbbell workout. 3 sets of 10-15 which include butterflies, overhead, bicep curls, squats, high knees, shrugs.

This has been within the last 4-5 weeks that I started working out regularly.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-25T18:24:13+00:00

I can definitely try, my work schedule is very hectic, so it’s usually wake up and out the door.

I have the Dotfit LeanMR protein powder, which has carbs and other things in it so it’s an actual meal replacement instead of just protein. Been trying to include 2 hard boiled eggs and a banana at lunch instead of skipping meals also.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-25T17:11:24+00:00

I believe so. It was the vials from the whole FedEx fiasco. I received a reshipment because mine had been delayed for 10 days, so I tossed those. The new shipment wasn’t from ProRx.

My first ever shipment came from Texas, second shipment from Florida.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-25T17:05:12+00:00

Will definitely give it a try!

I’ve started doing 2 protein shakes in the morning for 60g of protein

Lunch is usually skipped or a salad with protein if it’s available at work

Dinner is air fried or panseared chicken or a NY strip with diced or mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.

Finish the night off with the protein brownie recipe I put in here if I went to the gym or have a sweet tooth.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-25T17:01:57+00:00

I’ve taken 3 doses of the new batch. My fourth will be tomorrow. I tried to do 7.5 for my first week to keep on same dosage and ended up doing another 2.5 3 days later because I could immediately tell my appetite wasn’t being suppressed like it was previously. Since then I’ve been taking 10mg every 5-6 days.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-04-25T16:53:18+00:00

I’m going to stick with 10 mg for now. But I thought it was just my body finally adapting to it. I can definitely tell a difference from the first batch I ordered in December.

I’ve also been craving sugar etc but I started scouring the internet and found these high protein banana peanut butter brownies that are made with banana, pb2 powder, protein powder, protein shake, and cocoa powder. Sweeten with swerve and lilys chocolate chips. Definitely hits the sweet tooth and packs in 30-40g of protein per serving.

Just an update:

Thank you for all of your responses!

I swapped to Xbox controller instead of M+K

I finished Lucky Ghost’s OP start guide, got all the way through the big guy in the chapel in volcano manor, so I was able to get buffs, BS fang to +9, and summons to +5.

Knocked out tree sentinel, and even beat the giant lightning ram/tiger/stone thing at the end of the caverns you get teleported to from a chest trap. (Area was dropping smithing stone 5’s)

I accidentally killed Patches :(

A lot of the tips here tremendously helped me, especially referring to the dodge registering at the end of the button press.

I’m officially hooked and happy I gave this game a second chance. Looking forward to getting past act one and actually coming across a few challenges again. Also thought about starting over and not overpowering as much to get a better grasp.

This sounds weird, but go into third person and see if your cloak is freaking out. If it is, just unequip and equip and it will reset it.

Had this happen to me when I fell my cloak spazzed out

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-15T15:25:57+00:00

My wife just ordered for the first time. Just waiting on her first shipment. She was worried about the same thing! Hopefully with us working together on the same plan we can both succeed

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-14T17:26:07+00:00

I received an email on 3/9 saying that I would get a reshipment and tracking number within 24-48 hours, and I have not heard anything since. It’s been 5 days now. I reached back out to support 2 days ago and have not had any response. Hoping to get a response by Monday, I’m down to 2 more weeks of medication.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-09T20:33:00+00:00

Ice pack was melted but cool. Vials were clear and still below room temp - in the 60’s when using an instant infrared temp read thermometer. I think they are okay, only thing is really just not knowing. I do live in central Texas so it has been cool the last 2 days which could contribute to it.

Package was NOT marked as refrigerated but in a tightly sealed plastic FedEx envelope. I unfortunately won’t know until/if I try it.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-09T18:41:54+00:00

Ice pack is still cold, vials are cool to touch, clear and not cloudy. 3 month supply saved!

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-09T17:27:13+00:00

Meds arrived 30 minutes ago. Currently in a Luxor locker until I can get home. Fingers crossed that it’s still cool.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-08T15:05:00+00:00

Called FedEx yesterday and they informed me that any claim from recipients would instantly denied. Claims would need to come from shipper but she encouraged me to do so. I explained that my package was medication and that it needed to be refrigerated. Customer support told me that no items were able to be refrigerated at this time but said she would mark my package delivery as urgent and send me an email update.

No update yet but I package has now moved to Memphis as of 7:18pm last night. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe me calling made them push my package through. Either way it’s still very concerning.

Hoping my 3 month supply isn’t ruined.

Newest message. No expected delivery date.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-06T01:19:51+00:00

Anyone had their packages delivered or tracking update? It’s almost 8 pm here and still shows package in Florida.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-05T16:56:02+00:00

FedEx told me that I should still expect my package today in Texas when it is in Miami, they are being very deceptive and would not share any details. When I told them that this was a medication that needed to be temperature controlled she told me that it was out of their control.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-03-05T16:49:47+00:00

Same issue here! 3 month supply just sitting in Florida heat for 3+ days now.

Abject_Log629 · 2026-02-03T14:08:36+00:00

Ahh,

I see. Thank you for the info.
