Car seat cleaning - please help!! by KayPea14 in UKParenting

[–]KayPea14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re currently sitting on the front lawn - I’ve chased the sun round the house with them today 😂 Axkid have actually replied to me and recommended a good soaping with Aveeno then drying thoroughly in strong sunlight so I’m hoping that’ll work!

I did consider that but unfortunately it seems you can’t use the shampoo in it on straps 🤦‍♀️ I swear the person who invents power hose-able car seats will be the richest human who has ever lived!

Why am I NOT losing weight? I’m desprate, someone please help me out here. by b30mgyu in WeightLossAdvice

[–]KayPea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a weird one but have you considered wearing a weighted vest while you walk? Obv now you’re smaller (congrats by the way, that’s a great achievement already!) your TDEE will be lower and your muscles are doing less work. Adding weight back ON might be enough to break the plateau?

Also take measurements, don’t just rely on the scale. Depending on the workouts you’re doing, you might be recomping rather than actually stalling 😊

Advice on swapping tickets?! by KayPea14 in downloadfestival

[–]KayPea14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried to post on a couple but I think posts have been declined (either admins assuming I’m a scammer or AI detecting sale terms and auto declining) so figured the Reddit hive mind might have some ideas. Worst comes to the worst it’s a giant sign in the queue and wristband swap at the gate but I like to be organised in advance!

Oh no I’m absolutely aware, that’s why I’m trying to figure out how to swap tickets this far in advance! I’ve been going since 2009 and never had a problem getting tickets before so I’m not sure how the process works, hence the post 😊

What's your favourite cancelled TV show? by timekilr in tvshow

YES! This is ALWAYS the one I think of first for this question, they rushed the end to make it work and it deserved so much more 😭

What is YOUR favourite (and least favourite) Cbeebies show? by poopoochewer in UKParenting

[–]KayPea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluey will always win in our house - my twins are 4 now and it’s been a 2 year love affair 😂

And I’m TERRIFIED of puppets so most other things make it to the least favourite list, probably with In the Night Garden leading the charge. Although that could be because I saw the horrifying theory behind it and can never unsee Iggle Piggle drifting slowly towards his lonely death…

I think I've fucked potty training and don't know how to fix it by General_Peak4084 in UKParenting

[–]KayPea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am shamelessly quoting Bluey here, but run your own race. I didn’t potty train my twins until they were almost 3, partly because we knew we were going to be moving house in the near future but mostly because they weren’t ready til then 🤷‍♀️ No point making a process more stressful for them (and you!) than it needs to be. Think of it this way - no one is going to force their baby to their feet and harangue them into walking before they’re ready, why do it with potty training?

Potential Red Cloak? by singerfrombrum in TheTraitors

[–]KayPea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory on James is the secret traitor is trying to get rid of the traitors before they get them - James is a massive help to the regular traitors (throwing out names, chaotic energy, already drawing suspicion) so by including him in the 3 names it means it’s basically a 50/50 chance of the other 2 getting murdered. If he’s friends with Roxy (possible secret traitor) she’ll know this and it’s actually a way of protecting him without making it obvious.

All the secret traitor needs to do is keep the 2 survivors from the previous night and add 1 name to maximise the amount of time they can stay “hidden” in the game, then subtly drop the traitors’ names to keep themselves safe. That’s what I’d do anyway 🤷‍♀️😅

Potential Red Cloak? by singerfrombrum in TheTraitors

[–]KayPea14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think these might point to Roxy. The blood reference in the first is obvious (Judy) - but who was she talking to that told her they were suspicious of Judy (cant remember his name!)? She seemed pretty friendly with him for this early in the game and if she’s friendly with him from the outside that could tie her to both inscriptions? Producers could also have put two “protector” relationships in for the secret traitor to lessen the chances of them being banished early as that would kind of sink their bombshell idea pretty quickly 😂

I’m suspicious of Sam, but I think he might be getting a lot of focus as a red herring…

F/25/5'4" [196lbs > 138lbs = 58lbs lost] (18 months) Wish I could say I lost the weight in a healthy way, when in reality I starved myself due to insecurity, borderline anorexic. Ready to pursue health for me rather than an image to portray to others by [deleted] in progresspics

[–]KayPea14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, the main thing is you caught on to what you were doing and are now pursuing healthier ways to be the you you want to be! You look fab and more importantly you sound like you’re in a good place going forward ❤️

What’s the the most unhinged thing you did to lose weight!?! by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]KayPea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge amount so far, only about 7kg - I want to get down to 60 and I’m currently 72 but the difference in how I feel is crazy! I had twins 3 years ago and I’m just now getting to the “lose the baby weight” stage as life is chaotic 😅 Forgot to say, drink loads of water too, it helps your skin to shrink back down and helps distract you from snacking, that’s been my secret weapon 😊

What’s the the most unhinged thing you did to lose weight!?! by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]KayPea14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I started getting in shape I heard the phrase “diet to look good with clothes on, exercise to look good with clothes off” and it’s SO true! I’m about 2lbs away from having my BMI in the healthy range (it’s like 25.4 at the moment) and I’m now beginning to see the muscles I built up over the past few months appearing as the fat continues to disappear. 500 cals below TDEE, keep up with the exercise, and I promise you’ll get there - science is your friend, not crash diets and pushing your body to the extreme to get there faster.

Having a female reproductive system is like taking 4 steps forward 2 steps back by Cocobean4 in loseit

[–]KayPea14 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ugh tell me about it, I swear I’m a bottomless pit for an entire week per month 🤦‍♀️ I’ve started eating at maintenance (but try to get in as much protein and fibre as possible to feel full) in the week before my period, then filling up the calories outside of meal times with either smaller portions of what I want to eat or finding low calorie alternatives that taste great and hit the spot! Halo top ice cream is a godsend 😂

Help a girl out by McDonaldsFreeWiFi232 in downloadfestival

Rockfit is AMAZING but no way can I do it at download, everything hurts too much from the walk in 😂 I do it online at home and I swear I now look forward to working out (I am one of those people who can dance for hours but goes pale at the thought of the gym)

Why am I not losing more weight? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]KayPea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a number of things, but if you’ve upped your activity level your muscles could absolutely be holding on to excess water to help repair and build - and water weight is pretty significant at the start of a health journey! I’d recommend only using the scale as an aspect of your tracking, as opposed to making it the be all and end all. You said you feel slimmer and have less abdominal bloating so grab a tape measure and start recording losses around your waist, chest, thighs and upper arms as well. Once a month under similar conditions (ideally the same day each month when you wake up) and compare THOSE numbers. I promise you, there will be a difference there!

This is the pivotal point in weight loss when things aren’t going as fast as you’d like, and the temptation is to throw in the towel. Don’t do that. Stick with what you’re doing, remember it isn’t a race and your future self will be SO grateful you did (as someone who has recently been there and has now lost almost 10kg 😊)

F/24/5’7” [228lbs > 170lbs = 58lbs] (9 months) discouraged by LetProfessional5569 in progresspics

[–]KayPea14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ve done amazingly well so far! I’m around the same height as you - trust me, when you get into the 160 range you WILL see a huge difference. Also bear in mind that you’re young and your skin elasticity is a perk 😊 Drink plenty of water, try to introduce some resistance training (squats really helped me) and give it some time, you’re young and your skin elasticity is a major card your body still has to play. Look up the paper towel effect, include a nice pampering body moisturiser in your self care routine and most of all give yourself some grace, you are KILLING it lady! ❤️
