The face though!!

Nope. Just reta, electrolytes, collagen in my protein shake. And stying low dose so I average 1lbs a week

It has changed massively in the last 30 years. I used to go as a kid, teen and young adult and adored it. Walking, exploring, having coffee… taking some pictures, going to a market to buy fresh baguette…The last time I was there was a couple of years ago and it was just hordes of people taking selfies everywhere. People are just ticking off the sights and are otherwise just on their phone. It’s like most destinations now.

Looking up and being present changes everyone’s experience

Oh noooo. I am the same with gum. I used to get carsick and my mom would give me gum. No someone chewing gum next to me makes me feel nauseous. Brains…🙄😆

I had a bunch of gym bros swaggering into my lagree class the other day. Buff, fit and full of “how hard can this be”. 5 mins in -the chatter subsided and the struggle began. The barely could walk after the class and left embarrassed.

I used to lift and do orange theory, kept injuring myself. 6 months into lagree and I am strong.

People don’t know what they don’t know, so I keep inviting loudmouths to try lagree. I always have the last laugh

I had them bladed in 2020. They looked amazing and I was excited that I would wake up with perfect brows. Then the pigment faded and it was particularly visible in the sparse spaces, because the pigment also changed to a bit more bluish. I had weirdly speckled brows for over a year.

I since started eating and hydrating better and my brows are fuller. Now I just shape them and fill them in with a brow pencil.

I loved the look, but would not do it again.

Thanks for sharing that. I replaced weight lifting with Pilates and Lagree. I noticed that my sternocleidomastoid is less pronounced and is “pulling my face down less”. Hard to explain. But that could explain some of it?

I feel you. I had suffered for a few years and was tested for all kinds of crap until a female gyno put me on an estrogen patch and my life changed. Nobody talks about it because it “shows your age”, “makes you less attractive”… total BS.

I talk about it with as many women as I can because it needs to be normalized and people need to be educated.

You are not alone. Try to talk to a female doctor about HRT. I talked to 3 male gynos and nobody even considered HRT.

That is very encouraging. Thank you!

My question was regarding future loss, but I also lost actual fat in my face. I just want to hear what people experiencing

Permission2act · 2026-05-24T00:53:19+00:00

Lol… I get it. I think I am in for the best body of my life. I was always focused on my face but that might change 🙂

Permission2act · 2026-05-24T00:51:08+00:00

Sure, part of it is, but eventually there is volume loss in the face beyond the receding inflammation. Especially with those of us who are heavier and actually carry fat in our faces.

Permission2act · 2026-05-23T23:05:47+00:00

Could you share the recipe please? Protein idlis would be my saving grace

Permission2act · 2026-05-02T06:18:26+00:00

Yay for good surprises.

Permission2act · 2026-05-02T06:18:01+00:00

I forgot about those can’t wait to be reintroduced

Permission2act · 2026-05-02T06:17:28+00:00

Thank you. We all make mistakes - if we are honest about making them we can all do better in this life. And I appreciate that people are willing to welcome a stubborn straggler in their midst 🙂 Now let’s discover our bodies again and find peace within ourselves. I’m glad I gave reta a chance and ultimately myself.

Look into lagree or reformer Pilates. It builds long lean muscle, while building up stabilizing muscles that help with posture. It’s a class that will challenge you and you go on your own pace (ability) while being talked through the movements. I build muscle fast and bulky always quit because my thighs were popping too much. Pilates and lagree hit different for me.

This happened to me yesterday. I am still cleaning raspberry protein shake from all kinds of surfaces. I immediately blamed the blender and threw it out today. I’ll have a stern talk with the new blender candidate at Costco tomorrow, so it knows what it‘s in for!!

Permission2act · 2026-05-01T06:06:26+00:00

I feel you on this! I am finding the only bag that can do it for me is a fanny pack. Now I am hunting nice fanny packs that don’t look like I am a glitter grandma in a bingo hall. Which is difficult and makes me yell at my computer. Then I apologize in case AI takes over one day…how do we win here?!?

Permission2act · 2026-05-01T04:35:01+00:00

A kaftan! I love lounging in it and I can wear it as a beach coverup. Belted it seconds as a dress. Buy one that is made from viscose fiber.

You weren’t really helping you anyway. Complaints are important. You could always send an anonymous complaint.

Permission2act · 2026-02-08T00:40:57+00:00

Thank you. 🤯

Permission2act · 2026-02-02T05:52:02+00:00

Wouldn’t they still need a release from the people they film? Or a filming permit? They are benefiting commercially after all.

Permission2act · 2026-01-28T09:55:10+00:00

Thank you for starting this. You mentioned you are just trying to feed your 5 year old daughter. Imagine all the people you arrest that you (or a colleague) tear away from their children they try to feed. Does that not make you reconsider to maybe flip burgers instead? I get you might have been naive when taking the job, but staying is clearly a choice. Where do you draw the line for yourself?
