Unlike to op, who lives in the real world.

To be fair, we're not hurting financially. But I'm forced to work from home for my main job since last March, so I took a retail job in the evenings because my mental health had deteriorated to the point I was barely functional. I need people. But it does make time and enough sleep an issue, yes.

You just said you couldn’t afford a new scale, which are $15-25…

Anyway, OP at 300 lbs you need to get serious. Your heath is on the line. Stop IF, this is not sustainable for you. See a dietician, have them help you figure out how many calories you should be eating and a diet plan to match that while meeting your nutritional needs. You need to be counting every single calorie at this point- or do WW if you can’t manage that

Perhaps you should focus on your health a bit more? Instead of the second job, gym time in the evening? It actually makes a huge difference to weight loss, regardless of what dcum says, exercise is not important. They are stupid, so there is that. Walking for an hour and an hour in the gym will help with weight loss.

I can't focus on my physical health feeling like I did. Cried all day, every day, and that was if I managed to get out of bed and put my contacts in. Showing was out of the question. I need the second job so I'm around people. And not gym people who comment on my weight (you know they exist...last gym I joined, someone mooed at me in locker room).

Weighing only once a week means if for any reason (hormone fluctuation, consultation, a salty meal the day before) your weight is stagnant or up a couple pounds, you instantly become discouraged and less likely to stick to the plan until the weigh-in 7 days away.

Because I can't accept being over 300 lbs.

This is the most logical explanation. I know so many people who’ve gained weight during the pandemic. Here’s an idea, keep doing IF and weigh yourself again in a week. Then you’ll actually know if you’re gaining weight or not. Then you’ll have one week’s worth of real data not what you imagined you weighed.

I started because I was horrified by pictures on vacation in late July. Sent some selfies from this weekend and from back then to a few friends tonight, and they were stunned at the change in my face. SO maybe I AM losing.

I know I'm not drinking enough water, either.

You want to keep dwelling in the past when there’s a very easy and straightforward way to figure out if you’re gaining or losing weight on IF.

This isn’t hard. Most people weigh themselves before starting diet. You didn’t want to do that and are navelgazing hard about how much you might have weighed. Who cares? Get on the scale once a week, it’s that simple.

Stop accusing. My scale was in storage for months and I couldn't afford a new one. There was no "didn't want to" about it.

Yeah but you keep posting "but it's not workinggggg" even though you literally have no way of knowing this other than your desire to not want to face being over 300 pounds a couple months ago.

Excuse me if I was up since I last weighed myself.

And in case you missed it, I'll point you to the NUMEROUS people telling me 14/10 doesn't even work.

14/10 alone doesn't work, you have to eat right withing that window. 2 large meals plus snacks like nuts is not correct way to do it.
