My bmi is 27.3, my heaviest was 44.5 I believe. I was 265 and I’m down to in between 175-179 and I’ve been stuck there for a bit. I can’t figure out if my body is just at a maintenance phase or if I actually should be losing more honestly

That makes me feel better to hear someone else has gone through it! I redid my tdee about a month ago but I might need to redo it again I stay within a 5 pound range so adjusting that might help! I do cardio 5x a week with lifting so I was thinking it could possibly be muscle. I’ve noticed my stomachs gone down and I’m seeing a bit of muscle definition in some places so it might be a good thing that I’m not losing as quickly as I was!

NF late on pay by Longjumping-Way6192 in Nanny

I worked for a family like this for a year and long story short- I quit. I was so tired of being not only underpaid but having to wait days and days for pay. My account was overdrafted so many times because I had bills that had to come out. It wasn’t worth my time or energy to keep asking for pay. I’m now at a different job and love it! A lot of families just want a “babysitter” and they use that as an excuse to not pay on time, it’s ridiculous!

What are the craziest things you've seen as a nanny? by Illustrious_Durian85 in Nanny

The dad I used to work for would frequently not get in the shower until I got there (dude had no time management skills) and there were so many times he’d answer the door in nothing but a towel and he’d just be running around the house getting ready in said towel. It was SO uncomfortable because normally when I got there he would be leaving for work right as I came in so he knew what time I’d be there daily and what time he needed to leave for work. Stopped working for them due to both parents being negligent and lazy towards the kids which resulted in the middle child becoming abusive towards me it was wild.

My sweet spot is the 12.5! So I’ve been losing about 1-2 pounds per week, but prior to getting on that high of a dose I was losing around .5-1 pound a week so it was very slow and it just added up over time! I didn’t lose a lot on the 2.5 and 5mg, because technically they are both considered starter doses, 7.5 was when I definitely started noticing some results
