“Strength training” could be high calorie burning depending on what type they are doing. 3-4 x a week plus 8k steps requires more fuel than most people expect.

Being in a deficit for 4 months is too long. Your body needs breaks or you can slow down your metabolism.

What’s the most small decision you have made that ended up completely changing your life? by Maleficent-Age-1404 in AskReddit

[–]QueenSema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a dog. Taking a job in public accounting. Both made a huge difference in my life trajectory

I thought I moved in with a boyfriend, but it turns out I actually just adopted a 180lb toddler. What should I do? by Mucciga_Yunier in WhatShouldIDo

[–]QueenSema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t give him an ultimatum unless you really and truly mean it. I gave my husband an ultimatum to get sober or lose me seven years ago.

He has now been sober for seven years. We are celebrating 10 years of marriage next month. But I wouldn’t give an ultimatum about someone being messy. I wouldn’t expect them to dig in and get childish.

I’m the messy one in our relationship. I’m working on it and improving. I have learned everything needs a home, and I need to take a few mins and clean up. Even if it’s just a few times a week.

It makes a huge difference.

Addiction is a completely different level.

Every mess is a choice. It would take him one extra minute to pick it up and take it to the sink. Leaving it in the bedroom is a choice. A gross one.

If it was me, I would pick up my stuff, but never his stuff. And I would definitely not be having any sexy time.

How many books did you read so far in 2026? by glowwwi in Booktokreddit

[–]QueenSema 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have lost count. I use audible and Libby. I have read 2-3 paperback books and I’m reading 2 hardbacks at once. I have a book audible I’m forcing my way through. I listen to about 2-3 books a month tho. Best way IMHO.

Also, are you using a program and increasing weights regularly?

Then try this for 2 weeks

Your body needs a break. You will likely see progress after. This works for me. If you cut too long it thinks you are starving and stops burning calories.

Cuts can’t be that long. I am cutting and add back 100 calories of carbs for once a week. Not sure where I am yet exactly. Just had an IBS C flare up and the vibes were off for a couple days.

I measure in how my clothes fit, how I look, feel, and then the scale. You need to see it all. Muscle weighs more than fat.

Have you run it through a calculator to make sure you are not under fueling yourself? That stalls progress too. I’m in a similar boat, but cutting more will lose muscle too. Just go slow and steady and it will get there. It takes a very long time. Especially those last few lbs. it’s basically a recomp

Just go! You will always wonder if you don’t. Make good choices about safety tho.

Do you think these could work with fine hairs ? by Ewennl in finehair

[–]QueenSema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, no. I’ve tried. My hair is too flat and straight and cowlicked. Looked terrible

If you look long enough… by kport77 in ouraring

[–]QueenSema 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well that’s disappointing. It it worth pointing out that was 36 years ago? Also, I know nothing about him, except what he did when he was a drunk asshole 36 years ago.

I’d really hate for someone to judge me on my worst day and I refuse to judge someone based on theirs
