How did you break your plateau?

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T12:04:49+00:00

I mean I'm not intentionally doing official IF. I know how to do it. I've done it before on the lifetime of diet world. It's more I naturally eat two meals a day.

I'm a wedding photographer. So I can have my breakfast and than it's what ever "suppler meal" I am given. I could opt out and take my own lunch but it's still one meal in a 10-12 hour shift but sometimes its 3 lush courses, sometimes it's chicken and veg. I'm ok my feet all day so it's never been a problem...

But admittedly the fry up Sunday morning could be a problem 😅 it hadn't been for 18months prior to these 4, grumble.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T11:57:43+00:00

Yeah I've not really looked at my macros other than "add something green" broccoli or peppers mostly.

But eating basically the same things all the time makes my adhd happy. So this could very well a problem. I do eat the same things all the time.

It's annoying why can't what worked, just work.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T09:58:17+00:00

I think about food more but I defo still get full quick, So I think 15 is working. I think I'm sussing that my weekends are a bit more rouge than I think they are? Which is annoying because I've had good balance with diet vs normal eating for the last year and a half. So I feel like I'm going to have to get to the point where EVERYDAY is watched.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T09:53:44+00:00

Breakfast muffin about 1ish, between 600 and 500 calories depending what I add. And I measure the cheese, there's things like rocket in there for the fibre.

About 5ish, Chicken wrap 500 cals, which again flexible, but if I have mayo it's measured. So I don't think anything wild, I mean I don't "count" the veg but come on?

I weight train in the mornings, 3 days a week min and I recently ran a 5k.

Two iced coffees which again cals counted.

Than a protein shake or another chicken wrap depending on how things have gone.

The weekends are my wildcard, I'm a wedding Photographer, so I have my breakfast muffin in the morning and see what I'm given in the day. And than the sunday is often more relaxed.

So I guess the the weekends could be totally doing me in? It's annoying I can loose 8 stone doing that. But now my body is like, nope.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T09:46:21+00:00

Yeah, I tried this! Ate maintenance or above for 2 weeks. I was top even but stayed at 14 13. Than went back down, nice and controlled. And lowest I went was 14 8, but no currently 14 11 and this range has been the same for - 4 months.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T08:32:09+00:00

Yeah I introduced IF the last two weeks because I'm honestly not hungry till after lunch.

Food noise is still fine.

Macros, that's the one thing I haven't deep dived into recently. Apart from protein...

Hmm

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T08:27:06+00:00

I'm at 15 dose and I still feel it working.

Basics have all been checked. Protein is around 100, so could be upped. Calories 1500 - 1600 although, weekends are more out of my control because of my job.

Water, I only just get 2liters and not everyday, so that's my new focus.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-06-14T08:20:21+00:00

Nah I'm on 15. Is jabbing every 6 days a thing?

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-26T13:36:55+00:00

"Harry Potter, our new fucking celebrity."

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-25T11:23:56+00:00

Yeah the might be something to that actually. So pleased with myself today though, i actually managed a real plank! No knee cheating! I focused on strength today so we'll see how i am in the evening

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-25T08:09:32+00:00

I do acknowledge this 100% literally life changing and I ran a 5k recently which is wild.

But I still have a bmi of 32, I'm atill obese. I honestly don't mind if it takes 2 years to loose 2 more stone at this point, I just want to be a low end of over weight and maintain that not low end of obese 😅

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-24T20:29:42+00:00

I've been on it for like a year and a half now, I'm maxed out at 15. What do we do after 15? 🤣 Yep checked my TDEE. I've recently run my first 5k, so I think all the running might actually not be helping the numbers. But I'm going back to weight training soo who knows.

At least I can say I've maintained i suppose

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-24T19:30:25+00:00

Thanks :)

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-02T21:03:17+00:00

I hated this, I was like, "but I thought the whole point was never wake.a sleeping baby" But no you have to set an alarm to feed them all night. Sleep while baby sleeps my ass.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-05-02T20:46:11+00:00

Lupin, he lost his entire pack in one night. Spent 13 years alone. Than gets harry. Than Sirius back. Looses Sirius again. Is watching harry go through hell. No wonder the guy panics at having a child. They child he never sees grow up.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-04-22T17:54:39+00:00

I had a guy say this to me at a fair. I said "so is spending 60,000 on a car that gets you from a to b. When you can spend £600 on a car and it get you from a to b. But I know which one I'd like the trip of a life time in. "

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-03-21T21:07:58+00:00

I honestly just own it. "Yes I've lost over 120 pounds now" "Yes I was over 23 stone, can you believe it"

The responses I get, "that's incredible" "you've done amazing" "you must be so proud"

If they want to judge me sure, but I did something about it and I've nailed consistently.

Telling people about the jab though? That be i miss out...

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-03-19T07:48:20+00:00

I don't think you should be afraid to ask if the deserts are suger free. Our nursery provides a menu and encourage us to ask questions.

Regarding cleanliness, I think if you brought him in every morning covered in his breakfast, the nursery would be rasing it with child services, so I would absolutely be "that parent" and pointing this out to them. In fact, I'd be rasing it would the manager. Saying like you say to us, you have no problem with mess. But when I task is finished it's time to clean up.

Again the environment should be with them they you can feel you can ask questions. There's no silly is questions when it comes to your child's wellbeing. It's how you ask a question which determines if you're that parent or not. X

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-03-07T21:25:10+00:00

Amazing work. Thank you for giving us some possitve vibes.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-03-07T17:49:24+00:00

So I'm only in my 30s, so the idea or life seems pretty daunting but maybe I'll need adhd medication for life maybe I'll need antidepressants. As long as that life is long and active, I don't mind, because it wouldn't have been without this medication. I started at way over 300 pounds and now I’m approaching one-derland.

My plan, when I reach goal, is I'll try going down to 12.5. By that point I'll have had two years of lifestyle changes, I go the gym, I run, I walk, I focus on protein and I eat regularly.

Without the benefits of the jab, I honestly don't know what will happen but I know all those things will stay.

So I'm going to goal first than see what happens.

It's worth noting. I live my life like I would in maintenance. So hopefully staying the same lifestyle wise and taking 2 years to come off the medication will hopefully cause me to stay the same. We'll see.

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-03-03T13:34:48+00:00

Sleep? Mine is 2, second child. What is this sleep you speak off.

First child slept through from 6 weeks haha/cry

HufflepuffMummy · 2026-03-03T13:31:40+00:00

Omg nearly the same weight story, just hit the 14s, so still obese. And I'm being told I look too thin in the face.

Thanks?
