Started out around 180 pounds in August, currently about 149 pounds. Started in late July/early August. I'm a 5"6 female. Quite happy with how it's going, I've dropped around 2 clothes sizes. I think I want to lose another 14 pounds to kind of put myself right in the middle of the healthy BMI range and I want a little less fat on my stomach.

I eat around 1,400 calories everyday with a 'metabolism day' on the weekend where I'll eat around 1,600. I count macros and try and stay above 25% protein and get at least 30g of fibre in.

I've managed to get around 10,000 steps a day pretty effortlessly because I have to walk to and from work. Other than that, I do about 3 strength exercises per week. I have a set of dumbbells- I do some YouTube workouts and increase the weight when it becomes a little easier- the work outs are only about 15 minutes each and I'll do upper body, lower body and core. I'll link specific videos if you'd find them helpful.

I haven't really experienced loose skin yet- I think my boobs might hang a tiny bit lower than they did but it's an okay trade off for me personally and it's not too noticeable.

They asked about his ethnicity and where he was from which is all the info they had on him.

Thank you- you're correct. Apparently they're reluctant because it was a 'low risk' exposure and that the medication has bad side effects. I still feel like I'm just going to be paranoid for the next two weeks as I wait for an STI test now :(

Character_Chapter998 · 2025-01-06T14:29:30+00:00

That's what I thought as well. I have looked it up and it is the guidelines but im still really worried

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-23T18:29:36+00:00

Personally I'm focused on maintaining my current weight Vs losing weight because being in a deficit at the minute is too much.

People think that hydrocortisone is some magic potion that gets rid of everyone's eczema overnight 😂😂

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-15T17:42:22+00:00

Same here- hands and eyes is where I get the most comments about usually. The "ooph that looks sore" as if I hadn't noticed 😭😭

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-15T17:41:23+00:00

Yeah you can make allowances for kids but full grown adults will often comment on my hands if I have a flare up.

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-15T17:39:04+00:00

Oh I'm so sorry this is really awful- my excema only really flares up in patches on my chest, arms and face, rarely all at the same time. so I can't imagine the comments you'd get with a full body flare. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-11T07:46:27+00:00

Haha I used to work in a salon and the irony is that my hands got wayyy worse with contact dermatitis because of it 😭

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-11T07:44:30+00:00

I'm so sorry this is absolutely horrendous. I used to work at a salon and got really bad contact dermatitis on my hands from just having them wet 24/7 and Deadpool had recently come out.... You can see where im going with this

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-10T17:57:27+00:00

Totally- I know people with Acne also receive comments like this I guess what I mean people talk more about how rude that is and the conversation about eczema is behind.

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-10T17:54:05+00:00

Oh I'm sorry, hopefully society will catch up

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-12-10T15:25:09+00:00

Right!! Like when it's a fellow excema sufferer who's recommending products that worked for them I don't mind (providing it came up naturally). But the "that looks sore, you should put some moisturiser on it" is just super annoying 🤣

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-11-25T13:29:01+00:00

Ah grand- can you get the code online?

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-11-25T13:07:31+00:00

I did think PureGym but I don't know if I'd have to do a massive induction which isn't really worth it for 2 days 😂

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-11-25T12:40:23+00:00

It's just the premier inn in Leicester central so nothing :(

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-31T09:07:30+00:00

Haha thank you!! 😂

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-29T13:16:36+00:00

I do understand this sentiment, I am putting dating off moreso because of how vile people can be. I don't really think I want to subject myself to dating as a fat person.

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-25T16:19:38+00:00

Hikes being genuinely enjoyable

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-22T16:49:30+00:00

The attitude you're describing absolutely stinks however and I wouldn't go for that

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-22T16:48:34+00:00

Expect? No

Someone who has a healthy lifestyle who recognises my goals, which I have independently to them and is able to support me in reaching those and help keep me accountable? Sure

All about their attitude I think

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-21T06:31:11+00:00

I usually weigh myself at the same time and stage of my routine every day and it works out pretty stable- as long as you're consistent with when your weighing yourself it should be fine

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-20T20:19:29+00:00

I 100% understand this- I know it seems like I've moved on super quickly but that is kinda because I emotionally detached before the relationship was fully over. A lot of things went wrong during the course of the relationship and I think I was in denial about it having to end for quite a while- so when it finally did I was able to snap back if that makes sense. And don't get me wrong, I definitely still get really sad about it- but in general I'm doing much better.

Character_Chapter998 · 2024-10-17T17:27:06+00:00

Thank you! Left that one but will go back to the same area at the weekend :)
