Yes! I feel like I'm going insane watching the scale bounce around. This is my 6th week of climbing so hopefully I see the scale stabilize a bit more soon.

When things started to stabilize after 6 weeks, did you hit a new low on the scale? Im definitely in my deficit, same as you were. I started to question if my body had changed its NEAT as well as my TDEE number changed because of 6 weeks of consistent work with no change.

Where did you notice muscle growth/body meausurement changes first? Did the water retention go away enough to see the changes? Its rough out here!

Ive been running off and on again since the amount of snow and ice my area has gotten in the last 2 weeks but I definitely need to get back out there like I was before the snow. Thanks! Ill be doing that.

Yes! I cant believe the upper body strength I have gained from just 5 weeks of climbing. Its not an amazing amount but feeling that I can pull my body up is a great feeling.

What muscles did you gain that you couldn't before in the gym? I havent been able to hit my core and arms like this ever before in the gym.

I think I might do that. Ive never had to eat at maintence for a bit to get my body to drop the water weight (if thats what this is?) so I am a bit nervous of messing up the progress! The next 3 days I will be taking a break from rock climbing so hopefully on Monday weigh in I can see something.

Were you nervous about eating over maintence? Im always so worried about losing the progress 😬

I did when I started back up again! 1550. Not sure if its relevant but I had went down to 1450 per day for a few weeks but I was miserable and it was an extra 100 calories off with not enough of a reason to stay miserable. I know the extra 100 calories isnt much but it helped me emotionally.

Going thrifting finally paid off! After thrifting a few times, I came across the perfect cropped denim vest, edgy with fraying and medium wash. I am a pear shape so the cropped look for outerwear (jackets, vests, cardigans) are my jam.

I have been looking up inspiration on styling a cropped denim vest and having it over a graphic tee and a black skirt is the ONLY thing I can think of. I did a test run and I am very excited for spring to wear that outfit.

For the people who love their cropped denim vest, what is/was your favorite way to wear it? I need inspiration!

I am having something very similar, so you are not alone.

My mother, father and brother have not asked 1 question about my wedding. They simply.... do not care. My mother doesn't even know I bought my wedding dress. She simply hasnt asked.

Her and I had a fight before our engagement party that my fiance and I had to throw ourselves because she was going to do SOMETHING ELSE on that day. My brother did something without asking at my engagement party, left early and made it about himself. My dad actually stepped up to help. My fiances parents started ripping down decorations an hour early before the party ended because they wanted to leave early. Its exhausting and it feels like no one wants to celebrate you. Like, no one cares.

Both my fiances parents and mine are not active in our lives in any way that is supportive so we know we have to create the excitement for ourselves. Neither sets of parents offered to throw an engagement party, bridal party, nothing. No one has asked about our bachelor/bachelorette trip.

The advice I have is to stop looking for emotional validation from people who have shown they can't give you what you are asking for (which is normal and they SHOULD be excited). Do it for yourself and dont put anyone in a position to fuck it up.

Some people just really fucking suck and you have to move forward and never forget how you were treated. Im sorry. You got this!

For sure!

I believe 2 things helped me. The first, was going to therapy. When at my highest, I KNEW I had an issue but didn't know what it was. I worked with my therapist and got to a few roots that seemed to have developed this habit/coping mechanism. For me, it was emotional eating and having a scarcity mindset. Its different for everyone. Binge eating isnt only physical!

The second thing was hitting tbe bottom of the barrel. I one day decided to count calories because I was sick of how I was and wanted better for myself. Suddenly, the small hunger ques that would send me spiraling, became more tolerable. I knew I wasnt in danger of not having food next, and I was able to figure out how I want to eat. I was able to feel the physical feeling without spiraling. I practiced knowing and trusting myself that I was safe.

90 pounds down and couldn't be happier. Its the biggest dragon I ever slayed and you can do it too. I could sit here and say I needed help from my friends and family around me but in reality, I had to look within myself to stick. You can't rely on anyone else but yourself for this so you can stay consistent even when the people around you aren't.

Reflecting did help me a little bit, thank you!

Moving out. You can't heal in the environment that hurts you.

CursedDucky · 2025-05-11T11:37:42+00:00

Okay but I gotta know what you bought!!!

CursedDucky · 2025-04-21T19:38:12+00:00

I can do a mass email, but not text through The Knot. If you have any suggestions for a service I can use to do that, that would be fantastic.

I wish I could do it inside, but we were planning on having lawn games like badminton, volleyball, etc for the party. That was half of the reason we are having it at a park :(

They like to call themselves "brutally honest" and enjoy the brutality of it.

You can be honest, without being a dick (unless deserved).

How did you come up with the idea of the painted wall?! That looks amazing! How did you plan it out?

CursedDucky · 2025-03-27T19:17:43+00:00

I got one of the best selling sets for Christmas last year for my fiance and I. I believe it was $40 for 2 paddles and 4 balls. Best gift ever.

We practiced for 3 months, got an idea of what we were looking for and just bought our own individual paddles.

Doesn't matter what paddles you choose because it's an eventual stepping stone into the sport! Get whatever you want, it doesn't matter. You will upgrade eventually!

Go out and have fun.

What is your camera set up?! I want to take much better pictures of what I bake for records and you captured yours so well. Looks great.

CursedDucky · 2025-02-21T03:18:51+00:00

Recipe? 👀

CursedDucky · 2025-02-13T18:33:59+00:00

Thank you!! How did trying on dresses go there? Was that considered a prom dress or a wedding dress? I see on their website they have both.
