That seems like it can be a bit of a double edged sword, though.. if you dont log accurately you dont really want that data.
well MF says, dont log inaccurately and sure dont log half days
but if you log the data accurately and just go way over on cals and mess up the macros, you want to use that data. It pains a bigger picture.

man so you are at under 2k calories at 258? Thats less than 8 k/cals per lbs. That is really low.
100% keep cutting but have you checked your NEAT? i would imagine your overall step count is really low. would really work on upping that liek you said cause your cals are going to get stupid low and gonna be a long reverse diet for sure.

Yeah, ive been doing zero steady state cardio or walking.. Been prioritizing other things with my time. But im going to need to start shifting priorities so im not miserable.

I also am bad about not logging small things that definitely add up, like coffee creamer or if I take a couple of my kid's chips and that definitely will manifest in the lowering of macros since I wont lose as fast as I should.. got things to clean up.

haven't checked in for a bit- shame is a MFer and when I fail I don't want to share that failure with others. I think at my last check in my starting weight was 252 but that ended up bouncing up to 267. With the wife being pregnant at the time I let that be an excuse to not really pay attention to what I was doing and just let myself go.
A few weeks before the kiddo was born I got my shite together and started working out again with greyskull, eating much better with IF and Keto where I'm doing more of an OMAD approach to help me keep the calories down. Sometimes I'll do more of a 20/4 split with a couple of meals but typically I've just been eating a giant arse salad every night with whatever type of protein we're having for dinner and whatever else is keto friendly in the way of fats to help get the calories up so I'm not consuming simply an 800 calorie salad. I'd guess they're usually more around 1500-1750 calories per meal.
Currently sitting at 242 down from 267 as of my last weigh in, yesterday nearly 2 months in. Got sick last week so haven't lifted in a week but ready to get back into it again this week.

Ease back into it, that happened to me a lot since I would give it 110% with my lifts.

I had a minor procedure done last week so I had some elevated weigh ins with ibuprofen bloating me.. Im using average weight over the week. I had as low as 256.6 so I decided to keep my macros the same this week.

My macros are
170 - protein
66 - Fat
176 - Carbs
I have a hard time hitting them. I usually have to make a protein shake or something at night to reach them. I typically eat breakfast then eat lunch around 3 or 4. Dinner is usually hit or miss. I’m sitting at 183 but would like to get to 175. My BF% is at 15 and it’s slow going coming off.

Need some encouragement. I always do really well with macros and eating healthy Monday-Thursday. Then Friday rolls around and I fall off the wagon for the weekend. Does anyone else experience this? How do you prevent it while still enjoying the weekend? Do y’all have any sort of tips for beating the weekend?

I'm going to cheat on the weekends, there's no beating it, so I plan for it. Instead of cheat days, I have cheat meals. Saturday, I skip breakfast and eat light at lunch, then go ham that night. That puts my Saturday at 2500-3000 cals instead of 4000+. Are my macros off? Yep, but I don't feel so bad about going off course.

This right here is how I approached this past weekend, I made sure to watch what I ate throughout the day then had my “cheat meal” for dinner. Nothing bad eaten but I enjoyed some craft beers. I made sure to get my walks and active minutes completed.

Hey guys. I could really use some pointers. I am 37 years old and I have a very busy work schedule. I work 12 hour shifts mostly sitting behind a desk and that makes it difficult to go jogging or go to the gym. I have been getting better with that over the past few weeks. I really try to watch what I eat, but I work in a hospital and there is always a going away party or birthday party of some sort.
I did WW earlier in the year and stuck right to it, but didn't lose any weight. Now I've been trying low calorie. I've been eating 2 boiled eggs in the morning, sipping on a frozen Premier Protein mid morning. eating grilled chicken salad for lunch (the dressing might be a problem), and at night usually eating a couple of cans of albacore tuna and steamed vegetables. Sometimes I snack on apples too. I would typically drink one coke zero every day but I've been weaning myself off of those and now drinking water with the mixed in with 0 calorie drink enhancers from walmart for energy. I almost never drink alcohol unless I'm on a date or hanging out with friends.
I'm 6'0" tall. I saw my PCP earlier in the year because of my fatigue. I was worried about my testosterone being low, but my test came back normal. My weight is about 205 lbs. I like when I am about 180 lbs, but I wouldn't mind being heavier than that if it is muscle.
Help me come up with a plan.

What is normal according to your PCP? I was in a similar situation to you where my test came back "normal" but in reality it was scraping the bottom and would be normal for a 60+ year old man.

Are you able/willing to do some strength training?
Are you willing to track calories and macros?
I personally would start by strength training 3-4 times per week and counting every calorie for the first month.
What kind of behind the desk job do you have? Can you bust out some jumping jacks and push-ups throughout the day?

Help me come up with a plan.
1) start strength training 3x per week. I suggest starting with the stronglifts program
2) start meal prepping and making sure you are weighing everythign out and accounting for things like cooking spray, butter, oil etc. even non calorie cooking spray is non calorie per serving, coating the pan is a couple servings which can add up overall in calories
3) start trying to get a min 5k steps in per day. next month go to 6k, then 7 etc etc.

I supervise a hospital department but I still have to do patient care sometimes. I spend a lot of time writing policies and reviewing charts.
Definitely willing to count calories
According to my Apple watch, I did over 7,500 steps yesterday and I didn't have time to go to the track or gym.

Did they suggest thyroid panels or sleep study?

I don't have the labs in front of me right now, but thyroid test was normal.
I had a sleep study a few months ago that supposedly came back borderline for sleep apnea, but I don't know how they were able to read it because I couldn't sleep a wink.
They called me earlier in the week to schedule me for MSLT.
