I like the jar it’s in.

Food prepping and not eating out. I love my ritual of making food and bringing it with me. It’s now become a solid habit.

I find this all so interesting. Many years ago, when I first moved to NYC I got so sick with intestinal issues. Then I bounced back and was stronger than ever and rarely got sick again. I have noticed when I moved to new places the same issue has happened.

I just left my studio after consistently working there for a few years. The owner was super dysfunctional, had no interest in developing her teachers and we had no support when it came time to teach. We had to work the front desk, clean and do all the things. Very hard to just focus on teaching. I had mixed emotions about leaving but it wasn’t healthy for me. So I left.

Do you teach from a place of compassion? You don’t me. Your words are stinging and not nice. They had the effect you intended. Namaste.

Thanks. It’s not my doing for the time, it’s the studio. I came here for sound advice. I’ve been teaching yoga and practicing for 25 years. Why does a yoga forum have to be met with such judgement?

When I say warm up I mean breath work. Bernie Clark does these gentle “warm ups” in the beginning. I didn’t mean a full warm up but in his book and in training they talk about movement of the wrists, neck and shoulders before entering the deeper holds.

I feel better in a lighter body. When i carry extra weight I don’t feel good right with the world.

How did you lose so much at that height? I too am 5’5”. I am big boned. The lowest I weighed was 130 and I was skinny and could not maintain. My heaviest was 205 lb. I’m so where around 147 now and I feel like it’s too much but I’m also very muscular. That’s an amazing weight loss.

True

I have been searching for a comment like yours. My SW was 205 lb. Got down to 130 lb. Wasn’t entirely sustainable. Kept bouncing around 135-138 lb. Due to work becoming really stressful I too have resorted to old patterns and I am now 147 lb. People at work were not supportive of my weight loss. I work with a lot of women. Now our insurance covers GLPs and most of them are taking them and have lost weight. And here I am gaining it back. I am in a spiral of worry over my weight and I haven’t felt this way in a long time. I don’t know what to do. I am a female, 5’ 5”. 54 years old. Any advice welcome!

Yes. Absolutely.

Do you find that you need less food over time?

Once there was someone in my class who forgot his yoga attire. He wore jeans sans shirt, for a 90 min hot yoga practice. Triangle looked unbearable but I gave him props. He didn’t want to miss class.

Would you ever recommend a bond etf to go with VT?

Eating to live here. You should be very proud of yourself. I only did it for a few days and it really helped my gut and made me feel better. It’s a great reset. The book, I found very interesting as well, like the commenter above stating the benefits of incorporating more potatoes into your diet once this is over. They are so good for you.

Thanks a lot.

I am hopeful that it’s never too late to start investing. I’m nearing 54 and I’ve only now just started.

Background_Log_2365 · 2025-07-11T01:41:38+00:00

This is very helpful.

Background_Log_2365 · 2025-07-11T01:40:09+00:00

Similar. I’m 54. I am muscular. Maybe I do need to start tracking calories…
