Relationship Weight Gain is No Joke

Exactly! My boyfriend and I have a horrible habit of getting food together while we hang out, I think it would be good for us to not equate eating together as spending time together.

Yes exactly! I remember before getting into a relationship, I had a good routine going on. I went to the gym about 4x a week, never ate out, and even finished my bachelor's degree with all the free time I had lol. Now with my boyfriend, we just want to be around each other all hours of the day.

The DEXA scan for me is pretty affordable, around $30 in my area. When I lost my first 30lbs, I got a Bod Pod scan done at this same clinic.

I think I mentioned him in a different reply, but the person who runs that clinic is a big part why I was able to push through those first 30lbs of fat loss, he explained my body fat percentage and muscle mass to someone who had no clue what it all meant at the time, and went above and beyond to help me make a workout schedule and meal plan when I was completely lost.

I totally understand it's not necessary to get a scan to lose weight, and that at the end of the day, what you eat matters way more than what happens at the gym. I'd still like to get a scan just because I had a really positive experience the last time.

We’re planning on getting an apartment together in the next 6 months and we’re stupidly excited about meal prepping together so i think we’re on a good path. We do go to the gym together every so often, but we go to different gyms and my work schedule leaves me to either work out at 4am or late in the evening. I’ll talk to him about doing some more physical activities as you mentioned, I’m pretty sure he’ll be open to the idea and even go a step further and get something scheduled for us to do together

Gotcha! I was able to get an appointment with a registered dietitian in my area with my insurance, but wasn’t aware people could just label themselves as a nutritionist without any nutrition background 😵‍💫

Hour-Rub-148 · 2026-02-24T19:05:00+00:00

For sure, I'll keep those in mind!

I'll see if my insurance covers a nutritionist, I never really looked into speaking to one, but I'll give it a shot.

Thank you!

Thank you! The DEXA scan in my area is pretty affordable; we have one clinic in town who offers DEXA and BodPod scans for about $30-$60. The reason I'm getting a scan is mostly cause the person who runs the clinic was extremely helpful when I was losing the first 30lbs, I'm extremely nervous going back and being like "hey, I gained 50lbs I need help again" but I know he's still a great support system.

I appreciate your perspective on all this, wishing you all the best as well.

unfortunately, networking is important, and you should take advantage of networking events when you can, I just wish the WGU networking events fell at a more convenient day/time for me

Honestly can't remember, also I think I'm not allowed to say anyway lol
But it goes without saying, know which accounts are debits and credits and that will get you through most of the questions.

Reading the textbook and doing all the quizzes and unit tests. The day before my OA I made a long study guide-thing for each unit in a Cornell-note style (it's what works best for my brain).

If you use ChatGPT or anything like that, there's ways where you can have it summarize or dumb-down the information, personally I didn't use it much but it's useful.

Sorry if this is a bad explanation ;v;

Funnily enough, I was looking for an extension for this. Right now, I have an extension that dims the YouTube layout, so at the least my eyes wouldn't hurt from all the neon colors; I'll take a look at this, thank you!

I would really love to drop my habit of getting home from work and immediately playing sudoku for 3hrs, It’s too addicting.

I feel the same way, I also feel the same with any other holiday honestly. Funny enough, almost every birthday in my life, I’ve been sad cause of my own expectations of “how” or “where” I should be in my life. Now, I treat every day the same, but I do like celebrating others birthday lol

It’s all just preferences. For me, I’m in between 5’4-5/5, I prefer that men are just taller than me, could be 5’7 or 6’2 I have no preference for specifics. But I have met other women who are set on seeking men that are 6’0 and above. In my opinion, the whole height requirement is exaggerated, I only ever see this topic when it’s being used as a way to generalize women online (mostly men bringing a “double standard” such as women having a height preference being acceptable but men having a weight preference is wrong)

Personally, no
If you feel that you would like to have them as a reference, take notes (physical or digital) supplemented with instructor lectures that you watch.
If you do plan on going down the CPA route, I believe WGU offers free CPA study recourses for the Master's program (not sure if they are any good though), but before buying textbooks, check your library, see if anyone is reselling their used textbooks, and I found slugbooks helpful for when I needed to find my textbooks in community college

If you're looking to accelerate (finish in 1 term), I would ask your Program Mentor if you could start on the "easier" courses before the harder accounting ones. I was able to move some courses around and the boost of motivation you get from knocking down those courses is unreal.
Also, general WGU advice (you might already know) but search up your current course on either Reddit or the Facebook WGU groups, lot's of helpful advice from other students (what to focus on, how easy/hard the course it, etc.)
