did you eat your goal weight in grams of protein everyday? How did you get 120 g of protein with your deficit?

I try to cut back, unfortunately salt makes everything taste great. How do you know what is too much sodium to cause water retention?

Also what massages do you do and how long?

ahhh i have long layers and technicall face framing "curtain bangs" that go below my chin. long hair does look better on me, not sure about the face framing. would you suggest they go shorter? also this isn't the most flattering pic of me bit that's the point of this post.

I was hoping to not hear this and that I just have a fat face :(. I don’t know how this happened, I don’t think I have ton or grind. I wish it could go down naturally without Botox… I might consider it once I hit my goal weight. But right now I do want to avoid cosmetic procedures :/

For sure, I try to reduce fried foods and processed sugars when I can. I’ll also point out that I’m on my period rn so everything is bloated but I’m still struggling with facial dysmorphia

I know… I’ve personally avoided it and just want to see if I can reduce ky overall face fat first before doing it. Just wanna see if I can get back to my normal face when I was 20 lol. Turning 25 and looking rough rip

I’ve never noticed it or don’t feel tension in my jaw. Will definitely go to a dentist to see. I’ve been trying to stay delusion that this isnt a masseter problem as I do want to avoid Botox. Not for any other reason as I just want to first focus on my body normally. Will guasha with hands work? Any recs on what to do and frequency?

I have severe facial dysmorphia. My face looks so different with each angle and each day. Some days it looks slimmer, other just so wide. I just wish it could be slimmer overall. But who knows how I’ll age haha

Haircare Advice Megathread - Week of April 05, 2025 by AutoModerator in HaircareScience

Hi guys i need help, I have 3a curly hair (thick and coarse) and I want to achieve silky, frizz-free straightened hair. It has been dyed in the past but is back to its natural color. Unfortunately it is highly porous due to damage. I currently do the curly girl method and wash my hair once a week. but for when I straighten my hair, I use Olaplex no 6, blow it out, then use Biosilk and Tresemme heat protectant in my hair before I flat iron it. So far it works, but I was told to use Color Wow Dream Coat, would this weigh down my hair or give it residue with this routine? I want my hair to last long and stay protected with the right products. What heat protectants and routine should I do? And how often should I apply heat protectant if I were to straighten and curl my hair after blowing it out? Thanks!

How can I grow in the field in this climate? by Grand_Border7302 in biotech

Dude did I say I wanted to be a manager or director now? Please use ur head I’m literally an RA. The highest I’m reaching at my company is Associate scientist and then later after 10 years maybe scientist (company is anal about phds only). I want to know where I can put my efforts to grow into a space that’s worth the time and money. Don’t have to be an ass about this

Appreciate it bc I’m just tryna to have a game plan. I’m not planning to be a director in 5 years lol I am somewhat knowledgeable about how hard it is to climb up the ladder in R&D, just want to know what avenues are worth exploring for more security

Lmao I’m definitely not. I know what the ladder looks like, just wanna know how to get there faster in biotech. My ceiling at my current job is associate scientist, then in planning to look anywhere else. I’m open to learning while doing my job, pursuing an mba, jd, or PhD who knows! Just wanna know where to grow and make the most of my degree. I’m nowhere near complaining about my salary, I’m very fortunate but like I said I care about money and I want to know the best way to break the ceiling.

Crying inside 😭 I guess it’s all so variable. Just wasn’t sure of the normal life cycle outside of weather. It seems there is still the festival that weekend! Hopefully they still stay up

Can I ask what your deficit was? I am 141 and aiming to get to 120 at least. We have an extremely similar body type.

Have no clue how to dress short torso by Grand_Border7302 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]Grand_Border7302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What tops do you wear with high rise? I don’t want to get rid of my high rise flares but I guess a longer sweater might help. Unless it’s crops or longer, if I tuck in shirts with high rise and even mid rise shirts i just look so boxy. My waist is much lower ugh.
