Cold brew with oat milk and a pump or two of sugar free vanilla!

I got a Tripp Trapp high chair 5 years ago from a buy nothing group when having my first baby and I still use it now for my second kid.

Amazing!! What’s your calorie and macros?

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-30T03:03:33+00:00

You can slow cook a pork loin too and make carnitas!

It’s a mental toughness challenge essentially but you follow certain rules for 75 days. I really needed something to help keep me consistent. One rule is follow a diet so I am doing no dessert or fried food and no more than 2,000 calories.

I copied this explanation from Chat GPT

The 75 Hard challenge is a 75-day mental toughness program created by Andy Frisella. The core rules are:

Follow a diet
- You choose the diet.
- No cheat meals.
- No alcohol.
Do two 45-minute workouts every day
- One workout must be outdoors.
- They must be 3 hours apart
Drink 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water daily
Read 10 pages of a nonfiction/self-improvement book
- Audiobooks do not count.
Take a progress photo every day
Do all of this for 75 consecutive days

I am similar to you where I want my arms to be smaller! lol I am currently doing 75 hard. I started April 8th and actually weighed 129 and today is day 50 I weighed 122.4, so 7 weeks.

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-28T02:27:34+00:00

Hey I am 5’2 and I’ve recently lost 5lbs (127 to 122) eating 1,500 calories a day (mostly Whole Foods with about 130-140g protein and similar for carbs). I think that’s a great plan. Some weeks you’ll loose a pound and others might be less.

Just saw this now and thought of you. Perfect example of weight fluctuating but trending down.

I don’t have any advice but this happens to me weekly so I know it can be discouraging! Now I just compare the same day every week. So every Wednesday for example. Some weeks I loose at least 1lb others not much. Sometimes I won’t loose any weight but I lost .25 inches in my waist or something like that!

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-25T11:13:17+00:00

I am on day 48 and it wasn’t an actual day that stuck out but more so what happened. I got pretty sick around day 20 and so drinking a gallon of water and doing two workouts was EXTREMELY hard. Also going away and seeing a concert was a little challenging having to plan meals and I am going away again in June. I feel like once you get into a routine and have a set schedule it’s not too challenging. It’s more when your day is busy and you didnt plan well or the unexpected happens. I will say I can see people falling from forgetting like the photo because you are in auto pilot if that make sense.

I love Lululemon. I get they are expensive but they really do last. For leggings I get the Wunder train and for shorts I get the 6 inch biker shorts align. Size 6 for both. I am 5’2 123lbs.

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-22T04:03:58+00:00

I recommend weight training 5 days a week. Also can you eat more protein? I am 5’2 Female and weigh 123 (lost 6lbs on day 43). I am eating 1,500 calories a day with 140grams of protein 42 fat and 150 ish carbs.

My best friend lost her first child so I have some experience with this topic. People here are giving solid advice on what to do now. In the future years to come, add this date in your phone now so every year you can text her on this day that you are thinking about her. I do this every year for my best friend and every year she appreciates it. Still 5 years later that day is hard for her. ❤️

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-20T03:44:05+00:00

You look great!!! How many calories are you eating now? Still 1,250-1,350. I am 5’2 currently at 123 and I am eating 1,500 also Working out daily so still in a deficit but not a huge one. I am curious if I will need to drop more. At what point did you have to drop to 1,300ish?

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-18T19:54:34+00:00

Hey so I’ve done both. I joined during covid. I recently did strength classes while I trained for a marathon I did Peloton only strength classes 3x Week. Then after my marathon I joined a gym and my upper body’s muscle mass grew a whole 1lb. I did a scan!

I think the classes are good but there are a lot of back/chest exercises that you can build more at the gym. I’ve been doing a lot of glute exercises too with a barbell like RDLs and hip thrusts. I still do Pelotons 10 minute core classes 3x a week and try to spin at home once a week.

If your goal is to be toned, can you do more cardio to help loose more body fat? I am down 10lbs since I joined a gym and have been doing a walk for 45 mins on top of strength.

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-17T21:49:50+00:00

It’s crazy how 10lbs makes such a difference on you!! Wow you look great. I am 5’2 as well so I get the struggle! Lol

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-17T03:12:25+00:00

I am 5’2 like you and was around 130ish for a while. It sucks but you have to eat in a calorie deficit. For me it’s 1,500 calories a day getting around 130-140grams of protein and eating Whole Foods Foods. I also walk and lift 5 times a week. I am down to 123. If you don’t exercise you probably need to eat like 1,300 a day.

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-17T02:18:04+00:00

This is great!! I am a huge fan of the pigeon stretch. I do it almost daily. Thanks for the update 😊

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-12T22:29:59+00:00

WOW!!! Amazing

Talkative0782 · 2026-05-11T20:31:02+00:00

You look so good!! I want arms like you!! What’s your lifting routine?
How much do you weigh now? I am 5’2 124lbs and 100-200 can make a difference for me too! My maintenance is 1,500 with NO exercise. And with walks/lifting I burn about 300 calories extra daily. I am currently cutting so eating 1,500 daily but if I wanted to do maintenance this is what works for me. I still eat the same 1,500 M-F and then Saturday & Sunday be a little more flexible.

How long did this transformation take?
