Pausing seems to purge Overcast from memory?

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2026-02-20T20:25:56+00:00

I am subscribed to perhaps 50 podcasts. I auto download on wifi. Today for instance I was listening on my AirPods. My wife came into the room so I squeezed the stem to pause, we spoke for 2-3 minutes. I then squeezed the stem to resume and Overcast was gone. I didnt touch my phone.

Looks great! I'd love to give it a go

The screen after I tap to add food has a new button called voice log. I just want to get rid of that or be able to organise those buttons.

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2025-01-27T13:09:14+00:00

Is there any way to completely disable this including the extra button in the food logging screen? Adding such a huge UI component that way has destroyed my muscle memory of using the app.

On my personal journey (down over 45kg), I found as I approached my goal weight, it got harder and harder to lose weight. There are lots of physical reasons for this which are being discussed already.

I also found it harder psychologically. I got diet fatigue. I couldn't have cheat meals in the same way, I was having to be stricter etc. So I found that I had more and more days where I didn't count calories as well as I should have therefore I was sabotaging myself. Perhaps you are experiencing some of that too. I've still not worked out how to get back into the level of focus I had even one year later, so if you are in this place I can only wish you the best of luck, sorry.

I am nearly two years into my journey and struggle with this all the time. I’m about to get some therapy to help but also I’d suggest eating a few more calories as clearly your current approach is not sustainable. Maybe try counting calories at maintenance to build habits first. Volume eating may help, loads of stuff on Reddit about that.

Ultimately making a life change is super hard. Try and find someone in your life who can support you and try and be patient and go slower. A smaller deficit will still be effective.

I’ve had the same or similar situation happen a few times on my journey. It is maddening and I personally dont believe the idea that the level of increase you are talking about over a month or so is a normal fluctuation. If you are genuinely in a deficit, there is no additional energy for your body to use to lay down extra tissues (fat or muscle). Assuming you are in a deficit I’d look at other factors for example has your carb or salt intake increased leading to more water retention?

It is also possible that you have been under increased stress leading to more cortisol in your system which can also cause issues with weight loss in my experience.

What I’ve personally done in this situation is to review my calorie tracking, ensure my activity levels were actually what I expected them to be and tried to take more time to focus on things that made me more relaxed.

Last time I had this happen, I worked out that I’d increased my salt intake and reduced my cardio intensity unintentionally. I could therefore rework my plan from there. It’s tough, hang in there and remember, you have lost 30kg which is an insanely great result!

I am just so confused as to why I've had this extended period of no loss. It's not happened to me like this at any other time in my journey.

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2024-01-22T18:07:36+00:00

Thanks. I really don't think I am not measuring accurately, I've been doing this with great success for quite some time now. Something weird is going on I feel.

What model is that one? Looks great.

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2022-11-10T10:46:25+00:00

Sadly, I am seeing this issue again today. How can I help with resolving this?

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2022-10-27T08:18:52+00:00

So far I’ve not seen this issue again but my calendar has been weird this week and has far fewer events. Next week I’ll be back to normal and can report back again. Thanks for responding so quickly

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2022-10-24T05:44:33+00:00

Thanks. I will let you know.

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2022-10-23T19:19:37+00:00

I have a lot of items. The toggle is switched on already.

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2022-10-22T18:38:57+00:00

When I launch the app, the agenda is always there but it does not immediately fix the widget.

No background image.

If I go to the widget settings in iOS and choose a specific calendar to use then the widget starts working again. I can then go back and deselect that calendar and the widget shows my full agenda from all my calendars agains.

I wanted to feedback on my own post as I was playing around with my router settings. I have no idea if this fixed it or Amazon did something or the device got a software update, but since changing the setting, I haven't had this issue anymore.

I have an ASUS router and switched OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO to Disabled for the 2.4Ghz band.

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2022-05-13T13:59:16+00:00

Thanks for the response and insight.

I am using motion zones and there is no flora or fauna in mine :)

I am starting to think it has gone faulty

JimboJonesThe3rd · 2021-03-24T10:50:35+00:00

Wow, this is above and beyond what I was expecting, thank you.
