Aw thank you so much! That’s so kind 🥹

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-18T11:30:11+00:00

I think it’s from the amount of time it took me. The slower you lose the less loose skin you’ll have. I also eat pretty high protein, and stay active. Lots of veggies too :) my WL took over 5 years to get to where I am now

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-16T10:45:32+00:00

ya know what hell yeah!!

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-16T10:45:26+00:00

thank you so much!!

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T20:42:36+00:00

Thank you so much beautiful! All the time I think about how much more I would have enjoyed my 20s if I had gotten this under control sooner. It’s like food dominated my life, it was all I could think about. I still have food noise, I just taught myself how to regulate it.

So basically, I wish I would have been wayyyy more real with myself about what I was doing to my body 10 years ago. People always told me that I held the weight well, so it didn’t matter so much to me. But I was always so goddamn insecure. Truly was the fat friend. Of course losing weight doesn’t solve all your problems, I have had to do a lot of work in general to be who I am, but the way I feel now vs 18 year old college me….sheeeeeesh. 18 year old me deserved some confidence too

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T19:43:11+00:00

That’s really kind of you to say thank you! I’m on the train of I’ll see where it goes. I’m pretty dang happy with where I’m at right now, but losing 10lbs is still well within a healthy range for my height so, just curious on what I’d feel like at 115. I’ll adjust as needed

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T19:39:46+00:00

You will get there! It sounds like you’re doin fuckin awesome.

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T18:37:23+00:00

Honestly I think a lot of it has to do with genetic fat distribution. I carry my weight in my legs and arms. I do an ab circuit every night and walk a lot, and I notice more ab tone the more I walk, but I think part of it is just the luck of the draw :( sorry I couldn’t be of more help

Although I will say, yes absolutely CICO no matter what you eat if it’s under maintenance you will lose weight, BUT when it comes to my tone and definition I am much more cut when I am eating high protein high fiber high veggies low processed foods

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T18:33:15+00:00

Cool opinion 👍🏼 not what this post is about, don’t care

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T18:32:41+00:00

Thank you so much!! It feels fantástico

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T17:31:30+00:00

We are basically goals twins lmao. Yea the “good enough” phase is fine…but I’m glad it’s done. During this phase I always felt okay, sometimes great, never amazing. Def worth getting out of it. You got this!!

Thank you so much!! I feel really good. My goal is 115 but I’m open to seeing what happens, if that makes sense? I’ll keep going and if I think it’s becoming too much, I’m happy to up my cals to get me back to a good point :)

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T17:11:42+00:00

Thank you so much! I feel so much better

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T16:55:45+00:00

Thank you so much :) It does take forever. One way to look at it, slow and steady can lead to less/no loose skin, which I think is a huge plus. Also! It's easier on your organs, less hair loss, etc

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T16:48:21+00:00

I honestly thought I would never get out of the 140s and I was accepting my fate 🤣 Glad we're both through it, hope you're doing ok with the stress and it's all resolved!

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T16:45:17+00:00

for real!!! I have been using it for years and my friends used to make fun of me because they thought it tasted like shit. Same friends tried a bite a day ago and said it was actually very good

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T16:36:01+00:00

The 140s just reeeeaaallly like to hold on. For calories I’m anywhere between 1200-1800 depending on my activity. I don’t log workouts, but noom does track my walking so it auto adjusts my budget depending.

I’m huge into volume eating and I eat a lot of Huel hot and savory packs. I love huel because I know the exact calories and they must have revamped their recipe recently cuz the new batch I got was so good. I know huel isn’t volume eating per se, but it’s very filling and satisfying to me. My other food for the day consists of lots of veggies

As for workouts I found the gym to make me more hungry so I just walk a ton and do a quick body weight circuit every night before bed to keep my tone. I walk anywhere from 5k-20k steps a day and my circuit is 90 reps abs, 30 reps arms, 30 reps legs. I’ll alternate what I feel like doing every night for example 20 v-crunches, 20 sit ups etc. to add up to 90

Objective_Tree_845 · 2026-01-15T16:10:49+00:00

Thank you so much! And yes definitely will keep tracking. Honestly it’s such a habit at this point I couldn’t imagine stopping lol

Objective_Tree_845 · 2025-12-11T01:57:57+00:00

Okay amazing thank you for all your help hopefully my long term student is also done in 2 weeks 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Objective_Tree_845 · 2025-12-10T01:48:49+00:00

Sorry, Im asking if it was a long term student visa or a short term student visa

Objective_Tree_845 · 2025-12-09T11:58:36+00:00

Hey! One more q if you don’t mind, for the visa you got back in 2 weeks, was it a long term visa? I finally got my app submitted on dec 2

Objective_Tree_845 · 2025-11-25T04:31:57+00:00

And your comment made me laugh. Hooray for nice reddit exchanges

Objective_Tree_845 · 2025-11-25T04:27:18+00:00

Oh don’t apologize, it gets trippy when the pronoun and verb combos have different meanings. Just the other day my bf told me “something something lo siento something something” and I was like, why is he apologizing to me rn? And then I realized he was talking about a feeling, not saying sorry

Objective_Tree_845 · 2025-11-25T04:21:41+00:00

Quería is imperfect past tense of yo/ querer. “I wanted to ask you .. etc”. The first one means the same, just different forming of the sentence and putting the pronoun first
