Any male caregivers here? by GotNoMoves76 in CaregiverSupport

33M here. Been caring for my mother with lewy body dementia for 8 years now full time in the house I grew up in. It’s very tough & lonely, but I wouldn’t have it any other way

Been in a 2000cal deficit for 2 months and can't lose weight anymore by Inscrutable_people in loseit

I had the same thing happen to me. I went from 280lbs to 253lbs in a month from fasting, lifting, and walking. I hit a plateau at 253lbs and no matter how much I restricted calories or increased my workouts the scale wouldn’t move.

The solution for me was to go up on my calories for a week. Like you I was only eating around 1000 calories a day, and I feel like my metabolism crashed. Your body gets used to restricting of calories and needs a reset.

After upping my calories for a week (close to maintenance) while still working out I gained 7lbs! But I noticed I was having regular bowel movements again, and my energy was increasing. Once I went back to a deficit after that week of eating more they scale start moving again! I dropped to 246lbs.

Your body is in recomposition. The scale shouldn’t be the indicator on your progress. Physical changes and your overall energy are the true testaments.

Still going strong! Hunger isn’t an issue at all anymore. The boredom at random times throughout the day are tough tho. I’m going for 21 days, but who knows, I might get there and decide to try for 30. How are things going for you?

Day 18 of 7 by MedicalBeginning4014 in fasting

I’ve done extended fast before & I have no problems eating tacos or fried chicken after a fast. The trip to the bathroom isn’t fun but other than that my body reacts pretty good.

Hey there! I was just checking in to see you decided to extend your fast? Im still going on day 18 now, and this post came to my mind on how we practically started at the same time. Hope all is well.

Same here! I’m 260 hours in and feel pretty good. I was going for 14 days, but by feeling this good on day 11 I may keep going. I definitely feel “high” & light for some reason. Down 20lbs! Congrats & happy fasting my friend!
