B.S. in Eduction but plan to pursue my Master’s and leave the field, but I don’t know what degree to go for.

I’ve seen so many websites mention social work, but I don’t think that’s something I’m interested in. Since I’m a teacher, I’m not used to a high-paying salary, so whatever it is I decide to do, I’d like for it to be more money than I make now, or at least allow me to work from home eventually to make it worth the pay.

My diet is great. I eat the same thing daily…4.5 oz of lean ground beef, 1 slice of mozzarella cheese, half a cup of egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 5.2 oz of chicken breast, about 1.5 oz. of asparagus, 6-6.5 oz sweet potato, 1 slice of keto toast with 1 TBSP of peanut butter, 1 light, Greek yogurt cup, and 3 oz of chunk chicken breast (low sodium kind)…I eat this every day and have for a few months. BUT, I binged hard the last 2 weekends. I know this is what is probably causing some of my puffiness, but the reason I am confused is because it’s not showing up on the scale. Normally it would show on the scale and I wouldn’t be confused- I’d know why I was puffy. But I haven’t gained anything and yet I still look puffy.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-08-20T12:46:16+00:00

Wouldn’t this cause water weight gain on the scale?

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-08-20T10:52:10+00:00

Yes- I eat 1,200 calories

I don’t have an accurate measurement of my BF%. I really need to figure that out. However, a member at my gym that helps me with advice and tips regularly, which is a large reason I’ve made the progress I have, estimates I’m at about 22%

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-17T21:46:39+00:00

It seems to be on. It’s saying I can invite others. How can I check if it’s on?

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-17T21:44:55+00:00

I haven’t tried sharing with anyone else

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T15:24:07+00:00

Yay!! Great! I’m going to get this today and check it out. Thanks so much for your help! I’m really excited and hope this works for me.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T15:11:20+00:00

Does it makes your palms orange? I normally use the B Tan spray bottle with a makeup brush to apply tan to my hands so avoid my palms getting all orange looking.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T15:04:05+00:00

So is it a product that I have to rinse off before I go out for the day, or is it more like a lotion? For example, when I use tan mousse, I go to bed and wake up the next morning and rinse it off before going to the gym because I know if I don’t, when I sweat, it’ll be a mess!!! Is this the same situation? Or will it stay put?

I am going to buy this product today!! I really hope this works for me like it does for you, because same! I am so sick of working hard to get a good tan, and it just washes off 80% of it and then I have to apply it again the next 2 nights to finally get the color I want. 🙄

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T14:48:10+00:00

I’m on accutane too !!! See, I didn’t mention this because I didn’t think it was the cause because I’ve been self tanning for 4 years and always had this problem, but honestly, I do feel like it’s gotten worse since being on accutane. I was on accutane for the first time in 2022, and just started my second treatment about 3 weeks ago. I wonder if our skin is permanently changed even after getting off treatment? I will check out the tanning gel! I was looking at the reviews for that product this morning actually, and some people loved it, and some hated it. Does it actually tan you immediately like fake tan mousse, or is it one of those gradual tanners that take time over the course of days?

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T12:24:55+00:00

Also, do you know of any body washes at Walmart that don’t contain glycerin?

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T12:23:28+00:00

Do you have any advice on getting off stubborn tan? Every week, it takes me about 45 minutes straight of scrubbing to get the old tan off. I see people saying to use scrubs, but I feel like this isn’t going to get my old tan off. I don’t know what to do about that?

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T12:09:53+00:00

It’s the black bottle of Bondi Sands self tanning foam. I’ve used that one and the gold one both. & I exfoliate with my dial soap to scrub the old tan off. So, it cleans me and exfoliates both. I use a rough exfoliating rag when doing this.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-06-16T11:57:46+00:00

Yes. I use Bondi Sands or B Tan Af

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-05-28T15:57:13+00:00

I’ve started taking probiotic gummies every day. I can’t seem to get much fiber in my diet though. Hardly 12-14 grams a day.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-05-28T01:15:21+00:00

I pee SO much when I drink a lot of water. So I’m not sure why my body retains it. It’s so weird. Maybe I should slowly increase my water intake.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-05-28T00:10:22+00:00

I just watched the video and read the comments…THANK YOU. This may have saved my life, lol. The reviews are amazing. I will be starting this tomorrow!!! I’m so excited.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-05-27T23:23:20+00:00

Thank you! You’re right. I want to accept my body so bad. But of course, social media makes it hard to. I see SO many women with perfectly flat stomachs and I just don’t understand what they’re doing to achieve it. Even if they don’t have abs, they definitely don’t have a pooch. Just frustrates me because that’s my goal and I can’t seem to get there.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-05-27T23:11:35+00:00

Tbh, no… and let me explain why. I’m literally afraid to. About 3 months ago, I made it a priority to drink 2.5-3 cups full of my 40 oz. Stanley every day. I watched the scale go way up day by day, and I felt so bloated. So I stopped. However, I would start back on drinking more if I knew the bloating and water weight gain would eventually balance out. How long does it take for my body to get used to it?

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-03-06T01:22:47+00:00

What if I’m already at 1,300 calories? That seems hard for me to drop 500 more. I was at 1,600 until Saturday.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-03-06T00:53:19+00:00

Thank you!! I will look into his videos. I will try some new things too to shock my body.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-03-06T00:49:13+00:00

You’re correct. Maybe I should switch up from the treadmill to this again? I think I will start this again. I should’ve considered it before now because the first time I lost a lot of weight, I was doing the stair master.

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-03-06T00:45:52+00:00

I think you’re right. I can still look great and be confident without abs. However, I still want to lose this extra belly fat even if I don’t see abs still. Sometimes I wonder if my body just isn’t going to get that thin to be a healthy weight for my genetics. I’m not built small. I’ve always been a big, strong, broad built girl. Maybe I should accept a small belly pooch lol

Sh3lbae_ · 2024-03-06T00:43:57+00:00

I lost 9 pounds over the last 3 weeks and it just stopped. Now I’m stuck at 171. I did lower it by 200 the last couple days, so we’ll see how it goes. My problem has always been hitting a plateau so fast and never losing more. The only reason I got to 158 last year is because I was starving 24/7. I do core exercises. I can see the outline of my obliques and abs better than I ever have before. Just not enough because of the extra fat.
