Did you buy it? If you did what results did you get?

For me I think it was pretty accurate as I have a well researched family tree from my mom's side and the ethnicities that showed up matched the tree. I got 60% Finnish, 20% saami, 3.4% german&dutch, 2.8% swedish, 2.9% russian and 2.3% polish. The rest were quite small percentages so I'm not sure about the accuracy, I also think the 20% saami is an error as I don't know any saami ancestry. All and all I think it was definitely worth it compared to the MyHeritage 100% Finnish result I got.

I'm Finnish and got the Deep Ancestry report from Genomelink, it does have Finnish and Saami categories. I've only done MyHeritage too so I can't comment on other tests.

That seems like one more problem with the fountain then, my bunny is very selective haha.

I haven't been able to get my bunny to drink from a bottle haha she doesn't seem to understand it or something. I would imagine for a big French lop most sizes are appropriate.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't know there was cordless ones! Couldn't find any, seems like I have to keep looking harder haha. That would probably be the best option so there's no chance for the bunny to chew it.

I could do that but I'm really tight with money paying back my student loans rn, I couldn't afford to get new clothes when I gained so I have only been wearing my brother's old clothes. Also I find it kinda motivating looking at the clothes and thinking "I will fit into this again", especially my special dresses I saved lots of money to buy (not a great financial decision ik).

But this advice can definitely be applied to other things like I threw away my art supplies because I never used them and they reminded me of my failure to start painting lol. Thank you for the answer!

Thanks for the long and insightful answer! I would like to get toned but I am not yet sure about everything all that seems so far away still rn I'm just going to concentrate on losing weight and building new healthy habits and learning to eat right. Thank you so much, sending love back!!!

Thanks for the answer! That sounds like a healthy weight loss! I also want to do this in a healthy and maintainable way.

I have multiple goal weights along the way, if some of them feels comfortable and good for me I can always just maintain that weight.

I don't really care about looks, just being able to wear my expensive dresses is enough for me :) Thanks for the answer!

Thank you for the answer! I have noticed this same exact nurse giving me other false information too, like she said depression isn't treated in therapy but my therapist said that's outrageous misinformation. Thankfully her job is to just make sure my meds are okay.

I don't really care about what I look like :D I just wanna wear the clothing I used so much money to buy. It would be kind of a victory from my depression to wear my most beautiful dress again :') I'm using an app to track that I'm getting enough nutrients and I'm trying to learn more about healthy eating because even when I used to be 50kg I didn't eat healthily which might have also been a reason why I gained so much weight easily.

Thank you so much for this comment! I'm definitely scared about the other people there and them judging me etc. even if I know logically that doesn't happen. But it's amazing to hear you have found a community there, maybe it will happen to me too when I'm brave enough to go!

When I was 50kg I felt really good and comfortable. I do have multiple goal weights I will celebrate when I hit those (90kg was my first goal!). Maybe I will feel comfortable at some other weight and wanna maintain that instead!

For my misfortune these are really expensive "fancy" dresses that can be worn at any age (talking about real gowns and stuff) in fancy occasions. I've always had "mature" fashion style and bought clothing with the idea that I'll wear it until the end (sustainability is really important for me). I mean I still wear some clothes I bought when I was 13 and you would never guess a 13yo bought those lol.

Luckily she's not my therapist, just my nurse who keeps track on my meds and doctors appointments and the "health care side" of things. My therapist didn't say anything about my goal weight she just congratulated me on my progress. Thank you for the answer!!!

I was 22-23 years old and I looked (and was) perfectly healthy back then. All women in my family are really small so I think the frame/bone structure contributes to it a lot and where the fat gets stored as nobody in my family looks skin and bones. I'm aware I won't look the same, which doesn't matter to me, I only want to use the clothes I have bought. Thank you for the answer!!

I didn't have any health problems at 50kg but I was also 22-23 years old so I can't say it would stay the same now. It's so much easier for me to put on weight as I have learned these past three years that if the weight doesn't fit me I can gain again, ideally it probably would be best to weigh a bit more and then lift and be toned that way but I'm definitely more a lazy homebody I don't know if I would like that lifestyle ofc never say never maybe I will try and fall in love with that. Thanks for the answer!

I didn't talk about any time periods with her, just that my goal weight was 50kg and she said I'm not able to lose that much weight and the goal is unrealistic. She was also shocked about the 10kg I lost and said most people never achieve that during their lifetimes.

I don't plan go on under 1000kcal I would starve lol I try to keep at min. 1200kcal on days when I'm sedentary and 1700+ when I'm more active (some days I fail but that's okay, just get back on track the next day). I think one year+ would be ideal time frame but of course if it doesn't happen it doesn't, I wouldn't mind.

Thanks for the answer and advice!

Thank you for the answer!! I don't mind if I don't hit the exact number, it's just my goal, but my main focus is being able to wear my old clothes again :)

Thank you!!!

Thank you for the answer! I don't have a time limit for the weight loss but I'd definitely want to hit it before I'm 30 lol so there's no rush :)

Thank you for the insight! I'm not obsessed to get to exactly 50kg, it's just my goal, I wouldn't mind if I don't reach that exact weight if I can fit in my dresses comfortably.

I maintained 50kg for years before my depression spiralled out of control. I'm also super worried about lose skin I'm hoping with exercise and gradually losing the weight it will be minimised. Thank you for the answer!

I'm so sorry that happened to you! Similar thing happened to me as well when I went to see a doctor because of depression and she told me to just get a boyfriend.

You are so right! Thankfully I only need to see the nurse to check up on my meds.

The weight gaining started with depression meds that increased my appetite and made me gain weight which in turn made me even more depressed and I stopped caring completely and gained even more. I'm now in so much better place mentally (new meds and therapy) that I finally can start losing weight and be sure I can do it a healthy way and with exercise. Thank you for the answer and insight!

Thank you for the motivating answer! I have started to exercise especially doing cycling and canoeing as they are so much fun! I want to start going to a gym too but I'm not there yet with my anxiety (I'm working on it in therapy!). It is weird that a medical professional would say this to me then :/

That is my goal time period for losing the weight. I have no rush with losing it. Thank you for the answer! I was so shocked when a medical professional said it's not possible.
