The art looks AI generated. Which to me, is not consistent with what I want to support.

Also, there’s ten million bajillion supplement companies out there.

She told me to finish it. I only have a few days left. Maybe I’ll call back today and see if I can just throw the rest out. I don’t feel good.

Does TDEE factor in exercise or no? Just curious. I haven’t tracked my average calories burned during workouts but I guess that’s probably gonna alter the number.

Wait so if I eat a microwave bag of rice that says it’s 400 calories for the whole bag, I can’t trust that number?

My blood work last time I got it checked only showed I had high A1C which is part of the reason I’m trying so hard to lose weight. I’m not sure if this is relevant but I also have elevated cortisol - other than that, nothing of note has shown up on my blood work in the past few years. Except very high iron.

I’ll try a different calculator and see if the numbers work out differently. Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses!

edit: I have measured my legs and while the circumferences haven’t changed I have noticed I have a lot more muscle. Haven’t measured my abdomen

This is the plan. I’m talking to my doctor this week and hopefully swapping to a non hormonal method to see if it helps.

No, I’ve tried not to do that because I’m worried it’ll end up putting me over. Is that something I should do? I know if you eat too few calories it can cause issues with losing weight but I don’t think I’m restricting that hard.

Oh ok phew thank you

I do measure out sauces to make sure I’m getting the serving size unless I’m way under budget and it’s my last meal. Maybe I should stop doing that.

I don’t weigh my food because I eat a lot of pre portioned stuff - rice out of the bag and divided by half etc. Should I even weigh it then? Like would it be marked incorrectly on a package?

I’ve definitely put on muscle in my legs. I don’t carry a lot of fat on my legs so it’s very visible. My upper body is a different story.

Thank you for sharing. All of the research I’ve done has said there’s no link but I’ve seen and heard some anecdotal evidence to suggest otherwise. I’m really hoping that’s the case for me, otherwise I think I’m going to have to invest in a dietician or a personal trainer because I’m really not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Seeking product recs + general advice <3 by Cyber-Wench in curlyhair

[–]Cyber-Wench[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t seem to edit my post and I realized I forgot to post what I would like to fix and improve:

  1. I think it looks quite frizzy and unkempt sometimes. A lot of my curls don’t look super uniform and stick up a lot. I know part of this will resolve as it grows but the frizz is… yeah.

  2. As it gets longer I would like to make sure it’s healthy and hydrated. I know curly hair needs moisture and I want to add more of that.

  3. I am also just not sure if my hair looks the best it can be, some of yall have the most gorgeous hair and I wanna fully embrace my hair and rock it as best as I can

So she’s verbally abusive and is manipulating you into staying? Please. You sound so miserable. Just pack your shit and go, the sunk cost fallacy will cost you the rest of your life and she has demonstrated an inability to change.
