just venting

EDIT: guys😅 i promise i am weighing my food. im weighing it in grams, i am weighing every little thing. i understand its a common thing to not do so.. its 100% accurate. i promise!

i’m in my 3rd month and not losing anything. I lost 3 pounds about 2 weeks in and since then it’s been nothing. I actually had the scale go up for about a week. with pcos i feel like things are never going to get better. i’m tired of spending money each month to be the same. I’ve been on 5mg for 5 weeks
- i’m in a calorie deficit (set by my doctor) i’ve stuck to this every single day for 3 months by tracking everything. seasonings, oils, etc. everything.
-walking at least 2 miles a day.
- weight training 3 times a week.
I’ve tried increasing/decreasing calories, decreasing exercise, upping water (80oz daily), cutting carbs less than 20gs a day. Nothing.
I can’t imagine going up in dose. My side effects have me bedridden for at least 48 hours each week.

I’m miserable and wanted to share.

Brand missed payment date.

Hello all,
I’ll try and keep this short. Agreement was $400 USD for a 60 second video using their product. In our agreement it said I would receive payment 15 business days after posting. They asked me to submit and re-submit my invoice due to their links not working which I found odd but did anyways. Payment day came and went and I reached out. They explained their paypal account isn’t working right now and they’ll pay me as soon as possible. They asked for my bank info for a transfer that would still be late but I would get paid sooner. I’m not happy- they were demanding throughout the process and I met all content deadlines and spent hours filming and editing. I asked for a payment date and they can’t give it to me. Do I need to keep the video up without payment?

Not losing weight.

I know there’s so many of these posts but maybe it’ll make me feel better to share mine? I’m about a month in and the scale is down 4 pounds. I’m discouraged and feeling like I’ll always be the weight I am. I know it’s not a magic shot, you still have to eat in a deficit and move your body. Both of those things have been spot on over the last 25 days. My life has done a 180. I’ve gone from eating 1800+ cals a day, binge eating, not exercising, to eating 900-1400 calories a day (some days i feel sick!) and running 2-4 miles daily. Science tells me I should be losing. Calories are down, exercise is up. I’m tracking everything I eat and drink, focusing on protein and lower carb. I was prescribed for my PCOS. It’s been two weeks since I’ve seen any weight loss. I just took my first 5mg dose two days ago and hoping for some progress. I’ve even had family ask why I still look the same or maybe even like i’ve gained in the last month. I’m just tired.

Trouble finding a job. Have I made a mistake?

Basically what the title says. I live in Iowa and having trouble getting work. Working on getting certified and was hoping I could work as an official since we don’t have to be certified for a year when working for the state. I’ve spent so much money on this and no job. Has this happened to anyone else? I think I’ve made a major mistake. I’ve applied for official positions all across the state with zero interviews. I’m emotionally exhausted looking for employment at this point.
EDIT: I appreciate the relocation comments. However, it’s not something our family can swing. My husband has a full time job and we have 2 kids in school. Picking up and moving to California or Texas is not something we are willing to do at this time.
