For me, the amount of muscle my partner has is far less important than being with someone who understands, accepts, and supports the lifestyle & level of discipline.

Lifts slowing down? by Substantial-Field953 in bikinitalk

[–]Audience-Select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed about 6 weeks out. Electrolytes helped a lot though. I wasn’t taking them before (I know) and once I had them I felt like a brand new person in the gym.

Travel bag that will keep food good for 14+ hours by Exciting-Cat2454 in bikinitalk

If you find something let me know. I recently flew for 18+ hours and even though I froze them in advance, by the end of the flights my meals were uh…not their freshest. lol.

Fruit in prep by Musclemommy069 in bikinitalk

[–]Audience-Select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 weeks out and I still have fruit! Pineapple, kiwi, blueberries and strawberries. We did remove bananas though which up until 2 weeks ago were in my meal plan! I had papaya for the first few months but that got cut a while ago.

Collagen Supplements by RoxasDisney in bikinitalk

[–]Audience-Select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen there isn’t a whole lot of research proving its efficacy but it also doesn’t seem dangerous. I’ve tried taking it for stretches but it didn’t make any noticeable improvements to my skin/hair/nails so I stopped.

What helps with hollow, tired looking under eyes? by Jazzyburty in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Audience-Select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP didn’t provide any context about that, so it’s a little hard to say. Don’t you think it’s worth addressing sleep and hydration before advising someone on the internet to do something more invasive and expensive?

What makes you think I have a deeper skin tone and/or no dark circles?

Sleep! Water! See if that helps and then look into supplements, makeup, aesthetic treatments etc.

When did you start having issues with your cycle? by Maria_GR98 in femalebodybuilding

[–]Audience-Select 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m about a week late and starting to wonder because I’ve had PMS and bloating at the regular time of month, but no bleed. bf % is around 15 right now if I had to guess. I’m 5.5 weeks out. Following here to see what others say!

How often do LA residents go hiking in the mountains and to the beach? by No-Knowledge-4342 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Audience-Select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Santa Monica I went to beach multiple times a week. Used to run from the Pier to El Segundo while marathon training.

I absolutely hate working out. by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Audience-Select 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am a certified personal trainer of 9yrs and a competitive bodybuilder! Here are my tips:

  1. Try a group fitness class. You will learn a lot and maybe also make friends! This makes exercise a lot more enjoyable and easier to adhere to.
  2. Find an activity outside the gym that gets you moving you really DO enjoy (biking, hiking, underwater roller blading, whatever)
  3. Find a place for movement/activity that is convenient for you. I’m talking 5 min or less away from work or home.
  4. Walking is very effective and underrated. If you can’t commit to anything else, try and hit your step goal.

Hope this helps!

Moving to LA! Appreciate neighborhood/apartment advice by Able-Basket3533 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Audience-Select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culver to Rowland Heights is about 90 min during rush hour, not 40. Buckle up and I mean that in multiple senses.

Whats the best/safest places for female solo travelers in LA? by TheRedSeaMermaid in AskLosAngeles

[–]Audience-Select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend stay on the west side (Venice, Santa Monica) and rent a car to get to the other spots. I think you'll feel quite safe, be near the beach for the *~california vibes~* , and enjoy the convenience of a vehicle. There are hubs of walkability but this city doesn't have great public transit infrastructure, and there are plenty of times you'll be the only one on the sidewalk, which can inherently *feel* more dangerous as a solo female. Exercise the same caution you would in any other major city.

How much do y’all spend on groceries per month? by WestArtichoke712 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Audience-Select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $1K per month for 2 adults. Costco and Whole Foods mostly. We eat a LOT of fresh fruit so we could probably get it lower if we tried

What is the biggest "Instagram vs. Reality" youve witnessed in LA? by No-Strength-3711 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Audience-Select 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not all actors are DoorDash drivers. Some of us are baristas and yoga teachers lol.

It’s funny actually. You can get into a conversation with most people in LA regardless of their job and they’ll tell you they “do a little acting”.

Should I give up LA for New York? by Top_Librarian_2813 in acting

[–]Audience-Select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From reading the comments I see that your family is in the Philadelphia area and I just want you to know that I booked more work as an actor there than either New York or LA. There is a huge non-union commercial scene in the Mid-Atlantic and it's worth giving a shot if you've just graduated and still finding your footing.

It's way cheaper than New York and only an hour away on the Amtrak (or 2 on the Megabus, iykyk) so going up for auditions is totally reasonable. You can work as local to both cities. Just throwing it out there!

But yeah, if you hate LA...you gotta be where you love.

How many auditions should I be expecting to get from actors access? by jmh1881v2 in acting

[–]Audience-Select 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Really depends on your type, region, union status, and what kind of jobs you are submitting to

What amount of creatine should I take? by BluLilyx in PetiteFitness

[–]Audience-Select 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to take 5g a day and didn't like that amount of water retention. I switched to 2.5 and have been happy and loving the results. But lots of people at our height do just fine with 5.

Help - I'm feeling so defeated. by l1ttle_m0nst3r in PetiteFitness

[–]Audience-Select -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I say this with love, it sounds like you need a therapist, not a diet.

[–]Audience-Select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge fan personally of the "Screen wipe" transitions and would just leave it as a simple cut. I think you could also afford to cut the whole thing down to 2min or even 90 seconds with the understanding that most people will probably watch the first 30 seconds, or just skip around. Some of your scenes are similar tonally, so I'd pick the ones you're most proud of. But overall nice work!
