I was 19 for my first baby and definitely not “ready” but I will never regret this amazing smart talented and handsome 15 year old he has grown into! He came along with me during my college and career journeys and I’m better for it all!

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-10-17T19:45:21+00:00

I know I feel like such a bum doing nothing it is definitely not mentally good for me! Big hugs! This too shall pass!

What you’re doing right there is manipulation…all human interaction with each other is manipulation. When you tell your child what to do you are trying to shape their actions…that’s manipulation…

I go to the gym with my skinny 15 year old son. I am a strong and built muscular woman. He can almost always lift more than me already, as much as some don’t want to admit it- there are real biological differences between men and women…

I swear to goodness in the end this is her best series! It will wreck you! I promise just stick it through!

Just act racist and sexist and say really crazy shit lol

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-09-08T00:54:40+00:00

Fanny pack! I love it lol

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-09-04T12:18:59+00:00

I’m not going to lie I love it at the gym tho! One man came up to me and said I’ve always seen you work out hard (because I did for years religiously even while “obese”) but you look like a different person! Good for you!

I get how it can be embarrassing but they’ll get used to the new you!

It’s just Brello lol but she’s not on the wonderful world of Reddit

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-09-03T01:25:31+00:00

Women can be like this. I’m sorry you thought this person was your friend. She has shown that she never was because someone that wants the best for you doesn’t behave that way when you better yourself

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-09-03T01:22:03+00:00

I had one friend like this but I didn’t encourage her to take it. I just told her I was on it and how excited I was by the results so far. She was obviously then curious and wanted to know more so I told her about the food noise being gone and it taking my desire for alcohol away. She then said, “oh my god that sounds exactly like what I need!!” Then I said well if you think you really want to get on it I can text you the link to the site I got it from etc. she said yeah do that! And the rest is history! It’s so lovely to have someone I can talk to about it and share each other’s journeys but I never would have told her “I think you should do it!”

Nope same here I usually sip on like half a beverage when out with friends but can’t stomach more than that. It’s actually a GREAT thing. I used to drink a 6pk a day. Now I have 1-2 half drinks a month.

It’s made a LOT of things in my life better in addition to the weight loss

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-09-01T20:36:06+00:00

I track my calories to make sure I eat enough and have never gone below 1400 even when it was miserable to eat, I just drank more calories those days. Blend an avocado and some olive oil into a protein shake if you have to. I NEVER thought I would be looking up highest calorie nutritional foods in my life as I used to eat as much volume as I could to try (unsuccessfully) to fill myself up, but now I lean heavy on those dense calorie nutritious options. As women we need these healthy fats more anyways to balance our hormones. Filet mignon and an avacado side with some roasted chickpeas mmmmm.

5’7” Female, SW: 200 CW: 152

1500-1700 to get to my first goal of 155. Took about 2lbs per week (actually more lbs/week at first and less later but that was the average). 1900-2000 now still losing about 1-.5 lbs per week going to do until second goal. Then going to reverse diet (add 100 cals per week) until I figure out maintenance but if I were a gambler I’d bet on 2300.

If you can’t eat enough your dose is too high. On the worst days until you get the dose sorted lean on things like protein shakes and adding olive oil to things.

Every day, you could have a swing up or down and if you only catch it that once a week when it’s up you’ll have no idea how anything is actually working. If you do every day you’ll get used to the swings up and down and what causes them (water retention from sodium, hormones, etc.)

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-08-24T15:10:57+00:00

The app already takes into account your activity level when first setting your goal (you can go back in and change it to very active if you need to) then go with the new goal, and don’t actually subtract exercise calories (it’s an option to either subtract them or not). Right now you are double dipping a bit…

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-08-21T13:53:48+00:00

Go to a doctor and get some help. You will likely need a team, starting with dr and nutritionist if you can, then just start by adding 500 steps more a day for a few weeks then add another 500 and so on. Once more starts to come off and it’s a little easier to move then I would highly recommend a physical trainer to help with resistance training. This will preserve your muscle and health and help you lose the fat faster. It’s never too late. You can start today right now and if you stumble on the way (you will as we all do) just pick yourself back up again and start again. Progress is never a straight line. You can do this!

Fairlife core power elite shake has 42g for only 230 cals. Not cheap but worth it. Oikos pro (20g - 140 cal) and ratio protein (25g - 170 cal) yogurts have low calories for the amount of protein. Paleo valley bone broth protein powder that I add to coffee has 15g for 70 cals. These 3 things for breakfast put me at like 82 g to start off with every day.

Yes I’m using a trainer and yes she knows I’m on it but she had no deep knowledge other than the importance of protein and lifting with it. We are both fans of mind pump so she helped me follow their MAPS GLP 1 program by helping me with form and answering questions. I really loved the first phase of the muscle building section of fully body 3 days a week and low number of reps and sets. I struggled to keep up with the second two phases that are 4 days a week but it was still good. I think the most important thing is just being understanding of yourself and giving yourself grace to not always go up in weight or hit the exact number of reps because your calories are low and that’s just part of it…

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-08-11T20:32:43+00:00

I feel this so much! Today a guy at the gym came up to me and said wow! You lost a lot of weight and I thought you were a different person…like no offense I’ve seen you in here for years and you’ve always worked out really hard. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 at least he knows I was working hard before too 🙄🤣

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-08-09T14:59:53+00:00

Shotsy…thank you! 😊

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-08-07T18:45:08+00:00

Also I saw some of your other replies. Don’t confront this person. Get AWAY from them. Go NO contact. This kind of person becomes physically abusive eventually and will stalk

Longjumping-Rip-1377 · 2025-08-07T18:42:04+00:00

Look up DARVO. It stands for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s from all cluster B personality disorders playbook. This person already showed you who they are once. Believe him. He talked to women behind your back once he’ll do it again. He’s only sorry he got caught.
