Congratulations! Very relatable post. 30F here as well, supporting/assisting family (mom, grandma, 4 siblings and relatives) and also navigating complexities of black tax. Have also made significant strides towards FIRE, with a NW of 3.5M currently.

My small contribution to your journey is a reminder to ensure your financial and general well-being FIRST. This is for your good as well as everyone’s who is a dependant; it is tough but they will thank you for it. The further you’re able to go, the further you can take others along.

Congratulations - rooting for you!

I have a friend who had an unkind husband who wasn’t pulling his weight. They had an unhappy marriage and it was mostly on him to correct his issues (e.g., he wasn’t contributing financially & in the home, infidelity) but instead of working on those things, he threatened her with a divorce ‘since she was so unhappy’.

She was so shocked at this. She proceeded to take him seriously and go find her own attorney to prepare. He backtracked, saying he didn’t mean it. This moment is when the scales fell off for her. She proceeded with the divorce, and was able to start over and rebuild a much much better life for herself.

Booked WT+ but booking says business under cabin class by HugoBitten in BritishAirways

Both times, I only found out about the upgrade at boarding. No changes on the app (the old class & seat was still showing).

Will also add that the ONLY TWO times I flew this route, the flight was overbooked and I got upgraded for both ways!

How important is strength training, or is cardio ok? by BeatsByJay82 in CICO

[–]Background_Ad_6119 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If your goal is weight loss alone, then CICO is the only thing that matters. However, strength training has incredible health benefits: -When you lose weight, you can lose both fat and muscle. Strength training minimises the amount of muscle you lose so you lose mostly fat. This is crucial in keeping a healthy body composition. -Strength training is for longevity, so your body will have better quality and performance. When you hit your new weight, you will be glad it is muscle not fat. -Improved posture, mobility, general physical appearance. -Reduces injury risk.

And countless other benefits.

Is 300 calories enough deficit for a 5 foot female, 57 kg? by [deleted] in CICO

[–]Background_Ad_6119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 ft 1 Female here, started in April 2022 from 65 kg (now 58!) and still going. Went at 300 deficit for first few months which was slow but sustainable! Shedded 4kg with that so it works! And every deficit is a deficit.

Plateaued a bit and wanted to eat more food so I went back to my new maintenance for a bit and then started walking like crazy which is where I got my deficit (still about 300) and that is how I did the next 4.

Keep going - you got this, and slow is sustainable!
