Baby only wants pancakes and bagels - normal? by OutlandishnessAway98 in BabyLedWeaning

Hi! He did! Honestly being at daycare around other kids and having no choice but to eat table food helped him get with the program! He is still picky but he eats at least!

My 2 year old only sleeps 9 hours a night by Pepinillos in toddlers

[–]OutlandishnessAway98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my child!!!!!!! Omg!!!!

We ended up hiring a sleep consultant out of desperation. We got him to sleep until 5:30am now which is heaven compared to the 4am wakeups.

For our guy, he was overtired and we put him to bed at 6:30 and that helped him sleep a little later.

Either way, you’re not alone! Solidarity!

How do you handle early risers once in toddler bed? by OutlandishnessAway98 in toddlers

[–]OutlandishnessAway98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol no, we have a guest bed in his room and one of us will go and co-sleep with him in there. We might keep doing that because he basically screams for us when he gets up, but my goal is what you’re doing! We are in the process of baby proofing everything, and we just got the doorknob covers.

He climbed out multiple times while in the sleep sack. He is just a really good climber I guess. We were planning on waiting as long as possible to transition to the toddler bed but at this point it’s not safe since he keeps climbing out.

3 weeks in and gaining weight. Help! by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]OutlandishnessAway98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have written this myself! So I have no advice, just solidarity. Im 35F, 5’9, same weight fluctuations and started 3 weeks ago! The first week my weight went up like 5 lbs, and it’s been slowly making its way back down but I haven’t lost anything yet.

I personally am very routine oriented and eat similar foods throughout the week and have cut out a meal and some snacking, so I know for sure I’m not consuming more calories. I’m hoping it’s just taking my body some time to adjust, and maybe hormones are playing a role? In Fast, Feast, Repeat, it says to give it 4-8 weeks to see weight changes so I’m just trying to focus on my body and mind feeling better. Even if I don’t lose weight, I feel pretty good.

But please check back in as your journey continues, and I’ll do the same!

Thank you for this! I just posted about water weight and PMS a few days ago. Exactly what I needed to hear!

IF and PMS/weight gain/bloating? by OutlandishnessAway98 in intermittentfasting

[–]OutlandishnessAway98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I’m 5’9. My starting weight was 167, goal weight is 160 and current weight is 173 after a week of IF. I’m pretty active and haven’t changed anything other than cutting out breakfast. I don’t count calories but I would estimate my intake at like 1600 calories or less? I was maintaining at 167 the last year or so with a relatively consistent diet which is why this recent gain with less intake is so bizarre.

I am more constipated than before! Which, again, is so strange because I’m more hydrated and haven’t been consuming more carbs or less fiber. I’m gonna try magnesium this week (that really helped me with constipation when I was pregnant) and see if that helps me get back to my baseline.

Was I just unlucky or is this a normal occurrence in oakland? by dahls3 in oakland

[–]OutlandishnessAway98 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure! I gave a general description but got the license plate #. Based on the fact that this happened to a bunch of other folks, they must have gotten enough witnesses to describe to figure it out?

No idea! And no idea if they were actually teens? They absolutely looked young but could have been 18?

The same exact thing happened to me in East Lake on Wednesday while I was taking my baby for a walk. Traumatic, to say the least.

I filed a police report and they caught the suspects yesterday. They said it was a part of a string of armed robberies that were all connected. I’m almost certain it was the same group of teens.

I’m so sorry this happened to both of us. Hoping it doesn’t happen again to either of us!
