So the scale I have been using is defective. Not surprising since it's probably been with the owner since 1940, but it explains my frustrating three months of weird results/no results.
I went to get a check-up today. I also had one in February at the same clinic with the same exact scale and medical assistant. I asked for them to print my labs and results and they included weight and blood pressure.
I HAVE LOST 5 lbs! My initial intake weight on here (which does not appear to allow editing, understandably) was incorrect.
Good news: I lost 5 lbs (though over almost three months, not that impressive)
Bad news: My starting weight was actually 184, not 180. Today I weighed in at 179 though! Even the psychological effect of moving from the 180s to the 170s is motivating, though the weight lost is a tiny amount.
So I have seen some progress. Going to tighten up on things.
Have also implemented attempting two days of 500-600 calories, and normal but healthy caloric intake on the other five days of the week. I like this mode, because on the non-fasting days I am eating a regular caloric intake, but the temporary depletion has my 1300-1500/day metabolism working smoothly and mightily on a mere 5oo-600 calories for two days a week. Because most of the week has a much higher caloric intake, I would not be experiencing the slowing of metabolism that can happen when you limit calories too much.
Hard-boiled eggs are my secret to feeling energized and stabilized on the low calorie days. Two hard-boiled eggs for lunch with salt and pepper, steak seasoning, or hot sauce, two for dinner, and a nutrition shake for breakfast and I still have some calorie quota left over for some fruits and veggies.
