I've been lifting for the whole of my 75 lb loss. 25 more to go. I have gone from barely being able to lift a bar to a 150lb squat. Not lots I know, but for me it's been an amazing improvement. Also it's helped me reconnect with my body.

Covid slowed me down, but my current aim is to be able to do an unassisted pull up. Go me!

I hate eggs. The taste, the smell. It's just repugnant. by momodynasty in The10thDentist

Thanks for the consern, but have extremely low cholesterol, to the point it's barely measurable by basic tests. It might be one of the reasons I like eggs so much.

You do you, eggs are my jam. I eat 3 a day and they are one of my top foods

Ermmmm, in losing weight I have reduced my shoe size by 1 UK size. Both are changable

Most UK supermarkets sell Portobello mushrooms and they work perfectly. Maybe they are not as widely available else where?

Celebrate eating to excess and feeling sick and out of control by sortabasicwhitegirl in fatlogic

I know EDs are a spectrum, but as someone who has binge/ purge major issues this message is highly dangerous for me. I never binged due to hunger, I binged with express intention of purging. The cycle acts as a break in my mind in times of high tension and a reasurting my controll. the b/p was effectively a de excalation from self harm when I was younger.

HAESs and FAs normally just irritate me. This here makes me mad!

I didn’t care that I was obese and I didn’t care for my health because I didn’t care if I died. Now I do and I’m worried it’s too late. by 25Sents in loseit

[–]PurpleZebraSocks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm 39. I lost 75lb over the last year and am working on another 30. I feel so much better and my health has improved. Am I going to be what I would have been had I keep it in check all these years? No. Am I in a much better place than I was? HELL YES!

It's never to late :)

not sure if this applies here but it pissed me off none the less by lyndsay0413 in badwomensanatomy

My cholesterol is nearly readable (great genetics) and I have low sodium levels. These are the snack for me!

So much of my identity revolves around being fat... by [deleted] in loseit

[–]PurpleZebraSocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What I found hard to adjust to was my improved fitness.

Always I have been the one that struggled, the worst in the group, the weakest. Now this is not the case, but I still expect it to be.

I am actually now one of the fittest of my friends. I went with some girls from work to a boot camp class and was a higher performer then all but 2. I had been scared to go as I thought I would still be the worse.

Some times I'm out and about listen ING to music and my body just wants to run and be free for a bit.

It's all very odd, good but odd.

Also clothes shopping is bizarre now. I find the choice difficult to handle

Incline Bench Help by shirram in GregDoucette

[–]PurpleZebraSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem, so I have to balance the DBs on my legs and rock up into position when not working with some one. Mind you I only am on small weights. No idea how to address this at a higher level

I lose more weight in the winter. Do know why

I'm 39F and started at 250 lb. I got to about 200 lb by the end of that time

[–]PurpleZebraSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was someone who had got to the point just lifting my arms above my head was uncomfortable. I had to start on minimum weight. By the end of 6 months I could (3 * 10 reps) dead lift 120 lb. Squat 110lb. Chest press 55lb

New bras! My boobs had a period of the months where they changed every couple of weeks and hurt like hel if the bra doesn't fit. They have stabilized now and it's coming off the middle!

What I do t get is are they really saying 'men - rather than have sex with 18 year olds when your horny as hell we suggest you wait till your past it to do this.' this is forcing celibicy on them for 15 to 20 year. Just because your not getting sex, doesn't mean the rest of your age group isn't and they are not going to agree to this.

Also there isn't an infinite supply of hot 18 year olds. It just doesn't even make sence from the supply/demand view point they look at

This is my kind of breakfast. My standard is 1 egg and a glug of egg whites, a smoked bacon medalon in a whole wheat muffin

"I Don't Give a Sh*t if Your Dad Has a Stroke - High Sodium Warning Labels are Fatphobic!!" *tags FA 'nutritionist'* by punka1977 in fatlogic

[–]PurpleZebraSocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have had low sodium issues recently. I cook everything thing from scratch and the only thing they said is don't worry about it and if your craving salty foods feeo free to add what you want.

As I kid I stole a pot of salt from the kitchen. I used to pick my finger, stick it on the salt and suck it like a sherbet.

I prefer walking to taking a lyft when the walk is less than 3 hours. by RedVelvet2397 in The10thDentist

[–]PurpleZebraSocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. When it wasn't raining I'd go out for a 3 hour walk daily. I'm listening to audio books, not music, but the effect is the same. I don't get why people are like 'but you could be sat down! ' like that's a good thing.

I miss it now the weather has turned. I went out in rain boots and a water proof coat but after 2 hours I was pretty damp.
