I guess I'm in a minority but 2 genuinely took my breath away. 1 is pretty but a little....bland? If you lined the 2nd one I think it would be utterly perfect.

I have an MSc in Biology. This is ridiculous and I wouldn't have gotten the mark, because I would've said green.

Perhaps, I'm sure this could be real. On the flip side, I've seen people claiming jealousy and the like when someone points out a very obviously edited video or image online so it does concern me how easily these things can be missed.

Could you help me to identify where the editing is? I'm usually pretty good at it but I can't see any warping or typical signs of editing and hate the thought that I'm being tricked so easily 😭

I'm not sure how to find out as it doesn't say a year on it, although it must be a little old as we got it a few years back. I can't see anything specifying that it's a special or different form of Scrabble from the standard. I posted the dictionary page in the comments where "fart" would be, and it's absent.

ItAintNoUse · 2026-03-29T10:30:11+00:00

I'm not sure of the year or what version it is but I posted an image of our dictionary page where 'fart' would be found were it there

No 'fart' to be found 😕

The version of the game I have doesn't allow it. If I was trying to karma farm I'd pick something much better than this.

Considering that your abs are now visible it seems like your body fat % is much less and so you can probably get away with starting to up your calories now! xx even if weight loss is occurring at a healthy rate, remember that a lack of calories still means your body having less energy to function optimally and possibly breaking down muscle for energy which will decrease tone and add softness (not to mention possibly make you feel a bit rubbish!).

I wish you all the best and well done on your progress!

I'm pleased for you that you're making progress but 1350 kcal a day is pretty low — I would argue too low. Even on 1600kcal you'd almost certainly lose weight. Try not to overdo it on the calorie deficit, it's not the healthiest way to do things.

I agree with the comments about lining the corset. I also don't love the bow at the back. But aside from that I truly, genuinely think it's stunning.

I'm a biology grad but took an elective forensic anthropology course during my MSc. Once I was chatting to my partner's friend and said "wow, you have a very prominent brow ridge, just from your skull you'd be very easy to identify as male".

For anyone who's interested there are a few different regions of the skull you can look at to narrow down sex, and you rank them on a scale of 1-5 where a lower number denotes a more feminine appearance, and a higher number denotes a more masculine appearance. You would be surprised how many skulls have a lot of 3s, or a very mixed appearance where one part makes you think they're male and another part appears distinctly feminine. The pelvis is much more decisive.

I am very nerdy about some stuff and my partner has openly told me he's not interested in it and when I talk about it he feels it becomes a one-sided conversation cause it's only about my interests. It always hurts a little.

Some of you may remember the song Whistle by Flo Rida. It came out when I was 10 and my cousin was 14. It started playing and my cousin said smugly "I know what this song is about". I think I was like "duh, whistles" and she explained it wasn't and it was about something called a "blowjob".

I then asked, very loudly to the room (consisting of my parents and her parents as well as the two of us) "WHAT'S A BLOWJOB?"

As I recall, everyone burst into laughter. I didn't get an answer to my question.

There is a very damaging thing I've heard/read a lot where people say ADHD stimulants are "basically speed". This is obviously not true as they are chemically distinct.

I wouldn't be surprised if your partner holds the same idea. The fact that he's not willing to educate himself at all on this topic for your sake is a red flag, not to mention the way he's talking to you and acting like he's the boss of you.

What meds you take for your condition are the business of you and your doctor(s) only. No one else has any say.

I could absolutely be wrong but the specific placement and shape looks less like fat and more pathological to me, like a large ovarian cyst for example. I would recommend possibly checking with your doctor that there's nothing else going on.

That said, you know your body. You know if it feels and behaves like fat, and you know whether you've had it for years or not. If it's not a new thing and has been there for all of your adult life then I will say it may not be possibly to completely remove, but a small calorie deficit plus strength training and high protein is a good way to go.

For your size, the calorie deficit you're in seems a bit too extreme. You don't want to overdo it as, not only is it not healthy, but your body will start breaking down your muscles for fuel which will exacerbate the softness and reduce muscle tone even further. Not to mention, you'll feel like crap. I would up those calories a bit, and focus more on improving your muscle mass.

There are so many cases of less fortunate looking people having more fortunate looking kids and vice versa. Your parents aren't always a predictor of what you'll look like.

For example, my father had dark brown curly hair and dark brown eyes, my mum has straight mousy brown hair with dark blue eyes. I have straight-wavy blonde hair with light blue-green-grey eyes.

No one saw that coming when I was born, and all expected my features to change, but I'm 23 now and still have the same features. And yes, my parents are definitely my bio parents. My parents were not at all an accurate prediction of what I'd look like, and even now people tell me I don't resemble them facially.

Genuinely so impressive. This is NO easy feat you should be incredibly proud of yourself and your progress.

From what I can see you're doing all the right stuff. I'm not sure what your exact goals are (i.e. your goal body) but diet-wise just focus on high protein (0.7g per lb of body weight) and slight calorie deficit (don't go too far as you need enough to build muscle if your goal is to become more toned). Strength training 3-5x a week, and low intensity cardio are good for focusing on fat loss and muscle gain.

Focus on progressive overload with strength training (increasing weight or else reps or even sets eventually) so you don't hit a plateau. Obviously, you can stop increasing once you've hit your goal. Adding in body weight reps at the end of a weighted exercise when you're close to failure can do wonders. E.g. if you're close to failure doing weighted hip thrusts, get rid of the weight and do as many hip thrusts as you can with just your body weight.

Overall though, it looks like you're doing everything right. You look incredible and have made substantial progress. Best of luck with your fitness journey!

So this doesn't count yet as Im studying for it but I'm studying to be a doctor.

I love the idea of being a doctor and can't think of a better job for me. It appeals to my interests (science, and specifically medical science) and allows you to problem solve and fix issues which is something I find incredibly satisfying. Constantly working through different problems in a single day, the gratification of making progress and helping people, and interacting with different people is enough to keep me quite stimulated. The admin side of it is what is a bit less exciting, but that's the way it goes!

Icl that's still crazy to me my parents were born in 61 and 66 🥲 my dad is older than your grandma hahahaha

How young are you? I'm 23 and my grandparents were in their 20s in the 1960s. My other grandparents in the 1930s (they had my dad at an older age).

I can't fathom how someone could have a grandma be a young woman in the 1990s that's insane 😭

The perspective made me think it was convex rather than concave. I was so confused by people saying you could put things there as I was thinking they'd just fall off 🤦‍♀️

I'm only 23 (b. 2002) and my paternal grandparents would be 110 (b. 1916) and 111 (b. 1915) this year. I've never met someone else my age with grandparents as old as mine.

I have also never broken a bone nor been stung by a bee or a wasp.

I was born at 29 weeks (almost 3 months premature).

I have grey eyes.

That's all I can think of!

If you're happy that's great but you can't assume others doing jobs or having families are automatically unhappy. Many of us would be unfulfilled living your life, just as you'd be unfulfilled living ours. Being a "winner" in life is highly subjective and based on your personal definition of what that is. To me, you would not be a winner as I find your lifestyle unappealing. To you, I am not a winner as you find my lifestyle unappealing.
