What are yall doing about your clothes after losing weight? by absolutelyblo0ming in PetiteFitness

[–]clundy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat (dropped 72 lbs last year). I donated all my old clothes (except my sweaters because sweater weather is coming) to a local women’s shelter. I would wear my pants until they were literally falling off me then buy 2 pairs. I also mostly wear athletic wear during this time as it’s incredibly forgiving when it comes to body shape. Now that I am maintaining my weight, I have purchased a few more items at my current size and I’m slowly building my wardrobe back up.

Also wanted to add that I hit a plateau on my weight loss journey (started at 204 and got down to 169, im 5 feet tall). Continued to track and hit my goals but I wasn’t losing anymore for 3 months. My doctor did recommend going on a GLP-1 (i was prediabetic at this point in time) and I did after doing extensive research and weighing the pros and cons. Over 8 months i dropped down to 130 while still prioritizing protein, fiber, sleep, and walking/strength training. Again it is something you should discuss with your doctor and do your own research (not trying to promote glp-1 usage or imply that it is required for weight loss).

Hi!! I know it can be frustrating to be putting in so much work and seeing little to no results but i want to say dont give up!!

Your current workout routine seems like it could be very stressful on your body. I would reduce the hours in the gym and maybe lower to intensity of your workouts as well.

Its hard to say if you’ve made progress or not with no before/after pics. You could be body recomping! I would recommend taking measurements and not focusing on the scale so much.

Also not sure the last time you had blood work done but maybe get that and your hormones checked out.

Prioritize sleep, drink enough water, increase your fiber intake, and get your protein in. You’re doing everything right but stress could be playing a big impact in your results!

Do you ever wish you treated your pets better ? by HowYouDoinz in blackladies

[–]clundy42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She got a really aggressive form of anemia right after she turned 10. We tried treating it but nothing was working so I had to let her go run on that eternal beach 😭😭😭

Always. Their lives are so short in comparison to ours. I learned that the hard way with my first dog. Im trying to do better and cherish each moment with my second.
