    I'm sorry, I know I post so much here but I don't understand my body I, and others around me, can see that I'm losing weight - my face apparently looks more gaunt, and my thighs are getting further apart, but my weight on the scale doesn't seem to be shifting. Either I'm holding a hell of a...

There were a few times where I would “recover” but just went back to restricting. Normally I eat 700-800 calories. Then if I eat 900, I’ll do OMAD the next day where I eat...

    Despite staying in a steady low res, I had been stuck at 97-98 pounds for WEEKS. Over a month. My lw is 92, but I had only gotten there by dry fasting and taking tons of lax. I know there’s lots of tips out there and some people suggest varying your intake on a plateau, but that freaked me out...
