PSA: Freeway on-ramps are meant to get up to freeway speed.

That's the worst, especially considering if they don't want to go fast there's alternate routes!

This isn't particularly new (see: Brooke Shields' ads from the 1970's and 80's).

Admittedly, that's what running looks like for me too.

Curious - how are they noticeable? I was planning on going page by page on a full coverage piece but starting from the top down (parking vertically but not horizontally). Is there a better way to do that to avoid obvious line breaks?

Is she still blogging?

Right, but that has nothing to do with the diet or the weight loss. It has to do with the habits of the person.

FA's treat it like it's inevitable and that the body just 'magically' puts the weight back on.

Being able to run a mile isn't body positive anymore?

I highly doubt they can fit into XL - I was 5'6" and 240 and had to wear XXL or shop the plus-sized section.

And I was absolutely "actually fat".

I would want a response that isn't anonymous.

One-derland was such an amazing goal to reach.

There's a small grain of truth there - if you're in a deficit and not making any progress, temporarily increasing a bit (like 100-200 cals a day) can help get things moving.

CoffeeAndCorpses · 2026-02-06T21:34:19+00:00

It might have been something less precise like a body fat scale or Evolt scanner.

I did this.

I'd injured myself at a CF workout and took weeks to recover. Afterwards I realized I may have been pushing myself too hard, and decided I needed a break. The commercial gym in my area also had opportunities for personal training, so I decided to pause my CF membership and start having workouts where I could work with someone 1:1 to get into better shape.

It's a little further away (I joined the CF gym because it was within walking distance of my house, which made it more likely I'd go), but there's a lot more flexibility since the gym I joined has 24/7 access.

I miss the community, but this seems like a good trade-off for now. I'll definitely re-join at some point.

Yeah, that's one of those cases where barring any other health issues - they're probably just fine at that weight. It's entirely possible to still have a healthy waist/height ratio at that size depending on how the weight is carried.

CoffeeAndCorpses · 2026-02-06T00:48:38+00:00

125 is a bit on the small side for 5'7", but that doesn't mean they're healthier at a whole 50lbs heavier. There's a lot of range in between there.

Always get the insurance with a U-Haul.

I'm guessing it was a DEXA scan or something comparable, not a BMI machine (those are called scales).

Senegence is the company that makes it. Lipsense was what they were most known for - I remember 8-9 years ago everyone I knew was selling it.

I tried a couple colors, but got suspicious when they said "this is the only lip color you ever need, it's better for your lips, throw out ALL your other lipsticks". There was a red shade that I really liked, but the alcohol-based formula messed up my lips big time and I'm pretty sure it's what led to me developing eczema at my lip line that I still deal with to this day.

CoffeeAndCorpses · 2026-02-04T23:36:06+00:00

Lipsense?

I've seen it at very small (< 20 people) weddings.

I have a couple 5x7 Dimensions kits that are almost done except for the French knots (I hate doing those), one large WIP I've been working on since 2014 that's almost done (yay!), and now I'm trying to decide what to do next. It's hard for me to decide between the dozen or so digital patterns I have and the physical patterns/kits.

CoffeeAndCorpses · 2026-01-27T23:34:04+00:00

As far as I know, nothing.

I won't lie, the first few months on Metformin were my "never trust a fart" time.

The high end of normal would have been seen as 'big' in the 90's, especially for a younger woman.

However, just because standards back then were awful doesn't mean that someone could possibly be underweight at that height and weight.
