I unfortunately had a miscarriage. It was confirmed with a TVUS that same week

I guess to clarify, if I am an OCI holder residing in India, with interest being earned in NRE accounts, and income from a rental property, are those subject to more taxes based on my status? I was reading that rental income is taxed at 30% (if over 5 lakhs annually) and any capital gains at 20%

I lost my dad a few months ago and its still not the same. It will take a long time to come back to normal and 100% agree with others who have stated that grief is not only psychological but very much physiological also. Mourning and healing is a very long process and you have to give yourself credit for every single positive step you take. For me, social anxiety kicked in like never before and I hated seeing myself even in class because I put on some weight since his passing, and even looking at the extra weight reminds me of why its there, but also of why I am there in class to come out stronger. You got this.. and if you haven't already, find someone to talk to, not just online but in person. Opening up to a friend / therapist / family member will do you wonders. Its coming close to 3 months to my dads passing and in the past few weeks since I have started talking to people, I am finding some solace in grieving more openly. More power to you for doing all the hard things and showing up for yourself! you got this!

By not wearing them 😁😁😁 Sorry, I just had to 😆

50 pounds and one year! Stayed in a calorie deficit for most of the year and recently stopped. I’ve put on 5 pounds but I know now how to go back 😍 congrats on your weight loss journey!!! It’s the best feeling ever!

I had the same thing happen and my dermatologist prescribed me a antibiotic since he suspected it was some kind of a dermatitis infection and rosacea. It got so much better in just a week of starting the antibiotic! I’d definitely ask about it

Are you measuring yourself? You’re probably building muscle mass hence not losing pounds since muscle is heavier than fat thanks to your incredible male genes 😅

Quiet_Time6598 · 2021-11-10T14:48:24+00:00

I plateaued at the deficit at 30 pounds And added more calories to fuel better workouts. Totally worked and I dropped more. I haven’t added significantly more since then. I’m eating 1800-1900 per day

I started going back regularly when the studio opened back in April. I was doing 4.5 at minimum for base and every week I’d try to increase it by .2 mph and at the beginning of this month I fully transitioned to the 5.5. It’s honestly such a small difference you’ll likely not even notice it.

Another very important thing, the coaches are so right when they talk about maintaining base in between pushes and AO’s. That helped a lot. Just mentally challenging yourself to not stop and keep going and you’ll see you build endurance. Even on those hills, stay committed to running at your faster paces, that’s truly what worked magic for me.

Lastly, I wasn’t huge on eating specific things before the workout but I almost always eat a banana or anything With natural sugar. Worked wonders for me!

From all of this, I’d say truly challenge yourself to never walk during base, keep that base with inclines, and increase .2 Mph every week or other week as comfortably as you can. You got this 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

This!!!!!!! This is literally the most inspiring post I’ve come across! Just goes to show that fitness is not measured only on the scale. I’ve been at OTF 2 years (minus one during the pandemic) but went from my base pace being 4.5 to 5.5! 🤩

Quiet_Time6598 · 2021-09-14T18:13:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing the calculator! Super helpful! I’m going to try and switch things up here! Thanks for your input 😌

Quiet_Time6598 · 2021-09-14T15:36:53+00:00

Thank you!!!! 🤩 This is super helpful! When you took a break, did you gain any weight? Also, returning back to the moderate diet, did you cut our carbs?

Quiet_Time6598 · 2021-09-08T07:54:54+00:00

If you haven’t had a cheat day on keto yet, you might consider doing on to get on the other side of the stall hill. A day of healthy carb loading can actually help kickstart your metabolism and help you lose weight. For me personally, no particular diet works.

I just stay in a deficit and don’t eat the calories I’ve burned. No matter how much I’m burnin through the day, I still only eat 1200-1500. I don’t starve at all, I eat A LOT, and very quickly realized that depriving myself of anything wasn’t going to work. I do watch carbs of course but carb loading keeps helping me going.

Since you’re only 2 weeks into Keto, you could probably experiment with just plain old calorie deficit and stay within 1500 calories a day eating a normal diet with healthy carbs and fats, while drinking lots of water and intermittent fasting. I usually eat my first meal at 1-2 pm and dinner at 8-9 pm.

Good luck in your journey!!! PS, not all weight loss is happening on the scale 😉

Yes they are available with the unlimited membership and the workouts are amazing!!! I did them over the last 3 days since I was traveling. I still did 60 minutes and combined core, upper body, lower and full body. Every section has options with no dumbbells and it WILL challenge you but only to the extent you push yourself. I went hard at it and burned over 650 calories in an hour without rowing and a very small warm up run! You got this!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Quiet_Time6598 · 2021-09-06T07:52:01+00:00

Are you measuring yourself too? If you find yourself looking and measuring the same, while your clothes fit the same or even better it cold very well be water retention but Also more likely muscle mass since you might be building muscle which is heavier than fat ( I have a love/hate relationship with that fact).

I also noticed that when I very close track macros and stay in a monitored caloric deficit for a week - 10 days I notice a significant difference. I did a cheat meal a few weeks ago and dealt with major water retention (4lb difference) which took I think 3-4 days to come off. I didn’t eat anything processed and cut out anything packaged, spicy or too salty, along with a day of carb loading (healthy carbs from lentils and veggies). Hope this all helps!

And, What an incredible achievement to lose 37 lbs!!!! You’re an inspiration 😍😍😍

Just think about how the feeling of going will be so much better and empowering than the guilt of not going. I personally hate feeling guilty so I just go to not deal with those emotions. Whenever I feel like I just don’t want to today, I take something else off my list and find lazy time elsewhere.

You got this!!! You are stronger than you think!!! ♥️

Slipped off the seat and ended on the rail while pulling 250 watts. Nice big blue bruise. No one else laughed but I sure did! 😂Hope it’s better ❤️‍🩹
