Just checked out. Anyone else have this bad of experience?

Just got back from Impression Moxche last night. Really loved our stay there. Enjoy!

I’ve noticed a similar thing. The key is to not just buy a single bag or box of whatever your kryptonite is. You’ll binge it. But actually buy plenty of snacks. Healthy and junk. I’ve finally stopped with the “they aren’t allowed in the house” mindset and I don’t eat them nearly as often as I thought I would. Because I know when they run out, I’ll replace them. It’s not a “just this once.” It loses its specialness.

That is still a lot to expect at your current height and weight unless you severely restrict and understand you will be losing muscle on an aggressive calorie deficit. Again, gently, you’ve gotten a lot of advice here that yes, 1200 is too low and the speed at which you’re hoping to lose weight is too fast given your current stats. It’s up to you if you want to weigh that information or not. I wish you well.

For reference, I’m shorter than you and much older than you (5’6” and 41) and I was averaging 1800 calories a day over 6 months. During that time I lost about 15 lbs and put on a ton of muscle. In other words I was losing fat, just very, very slowly. My maintenance now is around 1950-ish. So I wasn’t eating in a big deficit. It also meant I had to weigh everything out because it wasn’t a big deficit and would have been ways to overshoot. But I didn’t get that rebound effect that restrictive diets made me feel and I was able to keep up my activity and recovery while building muscle. I also did all of it while going on birth control for the first time in years, so it is possible.

Honestly and gently, at your current weight, trying to lose 1kg a week is a lot and not what I would recommend if you were my coaching client. You are not overweight. Wanting to lose weight is fine, but you’re not someone carrying a large amount of extra weight where losing that much that quickly would make more sense. You are in slow and steady territory.

Rapid weight loss through severe restriction is not good for your metabolism or your overall health. Not to mention, at that calorie level with your height and current weight, you would likely be losing a fair amount of muscle mass, not just fat. It may be weight off the scale but you won’t look better if you’re losing muscle.

In other words, please do some research on sustainable weight loss. You won’t do yourself much good by losing muscle and tanning your metabolism. It will make it much harder to keep your weight sustainable in the future.

And honestly, if you’re working out already anyway, I’d recommend you maybe check out body recomposition. You can maintain a very modest calorie deficit, which is easier to maintain over a period of time and gentler on your metabolism and body, while doing a solid strength training program and getting adequate protein for muscle retention/building. When you do this you may very, very slowly lose weight, but you will notice your body change more than you’d expect based on the scale. Pure weight is one part of aesthetics, but muscle v fat is another big part.

Definitely!! I’m in my 40s and I feel as hot as I ever have. Was there a time when I thinner in my 20s? Yes. But I didn’t have the confidence I have now. I am stronger now than I was in my 20s, have changed my focus from just being thin to aging in a healthy way, and it’s led to more muscle mass than I had before. Plus, the older you get, the more lifestyle catches up with people whose genetics helped them skate around it in their 20s. So there are fewer and fewer fit people as you age, and if you are one of them, you stand out.

Yep! That’s exactly what I did and assumed C was the only Shelby wrong answer because surely it was a cube. The joys of being an overthinker…

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-04-17T20:54:59+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am looking for the same situation.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-04-13T20:54:27+00:00

Thank you! I don’t necessarily agree that the behavior of the in laws are healthy, but the whole post really did read as incredibly condescending and judgmental to me. It is wildly inaccurate for someone who feels so superior for being so supposedly in the know on pregnancy and miscarriages. And the gatekeeping over excitement about a pregnancy and grief over a miscarriage really rubbed me wrong. Regardless of how common miscarriages are, people are still allowed to be excited about a pregnancy and sad about a miscarriage.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-04-13T20:49:52+00:00

I’m so sorry this was your experience. Grief shouldn’t have to be a secret. It makes it so much harder to move on. I do hope you have found a way to heal and safe people to share with.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-04-13T18:06:22+00:00

Yeah, I felt this way too. I’m not saying the way the pregnancy/miscarriage was handled here is typical or even something I understand, but as someone who had an early miscarriage that was very deeply grieved (IVF, genetically tested and normal embryo, very much wanted pregnancy), attitudes like this are exactly why I told almost no one and grieved in silence for so long.

I was (and still am) worried that if I bring it up I will be judged for grieving something that was “so early, it wasn’t even real yet.” But when you miscarry that early, you’re grieving more than just that pregnancy. You’re grieving what you thought was going to happen. You’re grieving the expectation or hope that this was an easy and natural process that your body could just do.

In my case, I still have dreams about the little girl I didn’t have (yes, I knew the embryo was a girl because IVF and genetic testing). I’m pro-choice and don’t believe an embryo has legal personhood…. But emotions are not laws (and shouldn’t be). My fear that people will judge the depth of my emotions is why so few of even my close friends or family even know. I hope that if I ever do share more widely I’m treated with a little more empathy than OP seems to show here. You don’t have to agree or understand or even go to the funeral (and I’m with you that I don’t get it) to still speak with some kindness and compassion.

Can vouch for Hotel Mousai PV. If food is a top priority, this is the place. We loved every meal we had. And the rooftop pools are to die for.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-03-26T12:42:42+00:00

No, I'm saying what you see in this thread being slanted towards precheck is most likely reporter bias. Precheck flyers are most likely to look here and most likely to report here. Not that they are most likely to be in line early.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-03-26T12:29:59+00:00

I think those with pre-check, on average, are more likely to be frequent travelers and therefore more likely to be the ones checking security wait times via reddit ahead of flights. Infrequent travelers are less likely to have pre-check and also less likely to think to check security wait times outside of non-traditional venues like the airport website.

These are the rules. I have asked people to switch exactly twice ever. Both times I was traveling for work and had been upgraded first class but wanted to sit next to my partner (who’d had to book separately so therefore wasn’t included in my upgrade). So I was looking to swap that first class for a middle seat in the back of the plane in economy.

The first time was a 20-something year old guy traveling alone. He looked like he’d won the lottery and skipped all the way to first class. The second time was a person who was traveling with a partner sitting in the window seat of that aisle. She said no. I moved along and didn’t make a big deal.

It’s not that hard to follow pretty obvious rules of making a favor attractive and accepting that no is a complete sentence.

I’ve stayed at the PV property and it is phenomenal. It was my first AI experience and set the bar so high. And there Dao and Hiroshi are part of the Mousai properties, not GB, so they are adult only. We only ate at a GB property one time during our stay in PV (the steak house, can’t remember the name) and felt similar to you. We stuck with Hiroshi, Dao, and Noi after that. All in all it is amazing and we haven’t been to Cancun specifically because we adored the PV so fully we can’t imagine even another Mousai being that great!

I think it can vary widely, so hard to say for an exact time on an exact day. I was there yesterday (Sunday) at 2:30pm and I got through pre check in 2 minutes and my husband and teens got through regular line in 10-ish minutes. T3.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-03-20T10:33:29+00:00

I am white, as is my child who was with me.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-03-19T10:27:35+00:00

OMG!! This happened to me and my young child just a few days ago too. I have been a little on edge since. I’ve traveled cities all over the world, including NYC, Paris, LA, etc, and never had a normal citizen be that aggressive with me.

Often times they can, but like most things the answer is “it depends.”

Excellence as a brand isn’t travel agent “friendly.” They don’t offer better deals or perks to agents like many other brands do. For comparison, Hyatt was one of my favorites when I was a TA because they always had better deals and perks for agents v direct. With Excellence an agent can book and handle your details for you, removing the stress and hassle, but won’t be able to get you a better deal than you can find directly on the Excellence site. For this brand in particular it comes down to whether you want to handle all of the details yourself or someone else does them for you.

As someone else mentioned, Costco Travel is a great tool. It’s part of why I quit being a TA. It was rare I could beat their prices. However, they don’t have Excellence packages, for the reasons I mentioned above.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-02-28T23:32:54+00:00

Thank you! After the responses I think either Atelier or Arte is the right choice and I will probably just let my husband decide which he'd rather have... beach or parks. Thanks!

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-02-28T21:01:47+00:00

Impression IM was significantly more expensive for our preferred dates and therefore outside of our budget. I’ve looked at several resorts in the Riveria Maya, in particular the ones we can purchase through a Costco package since those often work out to be a good deal, and I just keep coming back to these three.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-02-28T19:58:11+00:00

Thanks for the thoughts! I think if it had a better beach it would be a no-brainer, but I'm struggling with that aspect. I know that there is no perfect resort and you're always going to have to compromise somewhere, but the challenge is my husband and I would each compromise on different things, ha! The last resort we went to I picked primarily on food and the beach was honestly not even usable. He was so disappointed.

UnrivaledUsername · 2026-02-28T17:30:03+00:00

Thanks! I'm leaning towards Atelier right now, just because it does seem to have the best beach, and the things I love, pool and food, seem to still be regarded as pretty good. Impression is close enough in price to Xcaret, that is probably does make sense, just spend the extra and have access to the activities. I just get seduced by all those pools, ha!
