Are you getting the maintenance calorie amount from here? I believe it's might be too high here... gives me 1800 for maintenance, another calculator gives me 1400 for maintenance. :) 

nope I do an average of chronometer and my conservative keto calculator. My calorie burn is average 1400 and I keep pretty close to that on average for the week. yesterday I did some exercise to burn off the extra calories I ate, but for the week I was pretty much inline. some foods/drinks just negatively effect my body. 2 days of no coffee with the goodies that go with it and everything should be back to normal. I just use heavy whipping cream and artificial sweetener but all three are things that cause me brain fog and or pain.  

No coffee! :) 

Tea yesterday, no problem. 3.5 hours sleep last night... back to coffee today for me! 

why the coffee cause you problems? I can not live without it. but if I drink it at night I don't sleep  

You are an inspiration to me. Even though you have food sensitivaty's, you are still working to improve. That's awesome!  

I have been up one or two pounds every day from my last weigh in on Friday. I am going to wait it out until Monday, then go in and get another body analysis done...that way I can see if I an gaining/losing fat and then adjust my calories from there if I need to. the scale is just so finicky! 

Keilin it causes brain fog so it is a food that I am sensitive to. If I drink too much as I have the past few days it can also cause me knots in my muscles which causes pain. I was bored so a bit of sabotage was going on this week of my no exercise. 

thank you MrsMagyk, we always need to strive to improve or we will always suffer. I am learning slowly about myself and my needs again. Life is better when I avoid things bad for me. It is amazing to me that I keep doing the same wrong things again. 

ohougland many times it is just water weight which can vary greatly, for me it can be eating or drinking things that I am sensitive to, or it can be from too much salt or it can be from my muscles being worked and gaining water. I think it is fine getting analysis done, I have never tried that. I would not know where to go locally.  

Chas I know coffee is the lifeblood of life for many of us. I hate not being able to drink it regularly. 

A lot of gyms have it. I do it as 5 star nutrition. It's free every 2 to 3 weeks. I was going to go every 4 but I thought if my weight stops moving then it wouldn't hurt to go in. It's free. Lol i am currently at a kickboxing gym that i have a membership there until March. I think when it is up, I will go elsewhere. I feel like my body needs different types of exercise to lean down and build muscle. But for now, I will continue tracking and doing their exercises and see where it takes me  

Sorry, life is harder for some people 😕, I should consider myself blessed because I can choose what to eat 🙏 

You'll find out the culprit no doubt! Hang in there without the coffee - I know you really like it 

life is what it is, eventually things will settle back down and I will not be as limited
