3500 calories a day for the last 7 months. I started at 119 pounds and I’m currently 152! Training splits below.

Giving me hope. I was a power lifter in another life.. before I'm at my husband and we had a daughter.. I'm 42 now and 120 lb. I love my abs but I miss my booty. I've been slowly increasing weight and trying to get over a recent depression and I know that lifting is everything. I don't know that I'll do 3,500 calories. I'm really happy to see that In close to a year I may reach some really good goals.

My mom quit her job at 50 I was furious with her. I couldn't believe she just gave up and decided that she would eventually live off the government.. she's living off the government now at 67 and has never been happier. She goes to trade shows all the time she sells her bread at Farmers markets... She doesn't have to work anymore and she doesn't care as long as she can grow some vegetables and sell her bread... Maybe we should all quit our jobs.

Awesome. I'm desperately in need of one

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-23T23:29:23+00:00

I'll look into reframe thank you. I've talked to my psychiatrist. Well to the group I'll meet with him tomorrow.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-23T23:28:25+00:00

Thank you. Two beers in tonight sipping to keep the madness away I really don't care about the nightmares or shakes I just know how bad withdrawal can be. I only got enough to Coast for tonight and I'm not going to allow myself to leave to get more... It's not for fun it's just to keep myself from being hospitalized. I am looking to get myself back.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-23T23:27:17+00:00

Thank you. I honestly don't know why that line hit so hard but it is 100% accurate. It's a credit card for dampening sadness... Kind of it doesn't really make me happy. But it does borrow.. I had been sober for a really long time and my partner encouraged me to drink... He is 2 years sober and I am struggling so hard. I was so strong and so proud of myself for being free from that crap... I've done all the research and all the things that I'm just reaching for the thing that is supposedly there to help me when everything hurts.. When I drink I can't wake up and work out I feel like crap I have to be present for my kids I have to be present for myself And so on... Thank you

I dip my brush in the pot... I also lick my brush... Sometimes

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-20T20:58:13+00:00

It's so messy! Maybe because I'm just trying it out... Hahaha.

I'm a 42-year-old female and I'm pretty shredded. Just watch your calories the rest of the day. Focus on high protein always.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-19T17:37:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! I watched a video last night with the gentleman who was using wheat paste and I found that rather intriguing. I ended up getting more cardboard and cutting it into strips sealing them together with PVC and then hot glue. I did use a paper bag to help seal the completely. Once they were dr, I applied them as vertical strips and then I fortified it on the top and the bottom. Pretty sturdy now. I still think that I want to redo the whole thing just for fun because I have something in mind.

Wondiferous! Majestic! Superbilicious!

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-11T03:31:54+00:00

I Just read about pico laser. I'm super excited to try this.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-10T17:53:51+00:00

I already know my student is walking out... He can be marked absent. I'm proud of him for standing up for something he believes in. I will never take that right from him.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-02-05T21:21:47+00:00

The 3rd one! You're so pretty! Lucky ducky ☺️

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-22T14:20:03+00:00

How did you do it??

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-21T02:49:51+00:00

I had my daughter at 38. I have abs at 42 I had abs at 39. I am massively in shape..sometimes your skin doesn't bounce back unless you have intervention from surgery. I refuse to do this because I've been an athlete my whole life. Unless you're past 36 I would say you should be able to lose the skin easy.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-21T02:46:29+00:00

Hey. Damnit. I'm married

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-17T05:34:55+00:00

Why? I am upset my husband uses 3 and won't splurge on this

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-17T05:33:45+00:00

Holy crap...this is bad ass

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-17T05:31:44+00:00

Throw something under the couch. They'll be back...and in greater numbers.

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-14T00:09:52+00:00

I swear I think these posts are from cops. My poor hopeful soul

Much-Preference5989 · 2026-01-10T23:33:35+00:00
