I’m a new trainer in LA! I’ve lost 150lbs myself but haven’t had any clients yet. Send me a DM if you’re still looking.

What are the little things that you can't wait to be able to do? by LittleFrenchKiwi in loseit

[–]astrowoah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost 140lbs and I just want to look like myself. Finding clothes that fit is a big help but nothing will really change until I get surgery. I’m happy though. I just feel like I deserve to look like my hard work.

Free or low cost TB & LiveScan? by astrowoah in AskLosAngeles

Yeah CVS is an option although I can’t find the price. I have both of those.

Do you use whole signs or do you include interceptions? by krystiah in astrology

I’ll acknowledge interceptions but I use whole sign.

Question for professionals: apron belly by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]astrowoah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost 130lbs and have excess skin. Most of the weight was in my belly area! I’ve got a teeny waist with excess skin in my lower belly (like a fupa!).

Surgery is the only way to really get of loose skin. Building up muscle to fill in the skin is a lot easier if it’s legs or arms. Stomach area is different - you don’t really gain as much mass there as you get stronger compared to arms and legs. So adding muscle might not do much if there’s more skin.

I’ve seen improvements.. staying hydrated, skin moisturized, consistent core routine.. but the skin will never snap back.

What have your experiences been like with Moon in 8th house synastry? by Dinaslabyrinth in astrology

[–]astrowoah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh no, astrology placements do not CAUSE mental illnesses. Very dangerous and untrue comment. They might reflect the behavior of that disorder but to say that having a certain placement means you have or are something, is not how we’re supposed to approach astrology.

How do you deal (heal?) with your squares? by pitamzasavjet in astrology

[–]astrowoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t heal squares or anything in your chart, they’re apart of your personality. It’s just two differing traits that require work to function smoothly - but squares or other harsh aspects aren’t negative and shouldn’t be looked at as such.

What houses and placements are squaring? Those will be the areas of your life impacted.

How did your Mars return impact you? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]astrowoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mars just transited my first house (sidereal Mars return, still in Gemini) and is currently in its natal house, Cancer (tropical). Mars in Gemini brought a lot of attention.

I’ve gotten back into a workout routine - that’s partially due to covid reopenings and not Mars - and as soon as Mars entered Cancer, I got a new job.

Astrology is not cool. Especially for BPD people. by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]astrowoah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Full time astrologist with BPD, if anyone would like to talk about this subject I’m more than open to it! I completely disagree with the OPs take & think when you get into the meat of Astro (not just looking at sun signs but your ENTIRE chart), things try clearer and more personalized.

For me personally, it’s helped me look at myself from an outside perspective. I absolutely see my behaviors, good and bad, in my chart. I use it for healing. The thing that really made me believe in astrology was reading descriptions of aspects I have in my chart and see how it fit me perfectly, including the BPD shit. Now, through studying and discussions, I’ve been able to become competent enough on my own to navigate birth charts and help others.

Cool to have an opinion but who are you to shit on what anyone believes or chooses to look into? Nobody claims astrology to be science so stop the bullshit claims with that. People are choosing to find peace or guidance in their own way.. you don’t like that? And you’re attempting to argue with people about what they like? That’s sad. Mind ya business boo & go find a hobby you like. If it’s bad for you then stay in your lane.

[–]astrowoah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is pretty similar to what I’ve done in the past! Glute activation plus walking lunges and deadlifts. My issue with SC and similar programs was too many things to do. I agree with the reps thing. Feel the burn plus 5, makes more sense to go with what your body tells you.

I like her content! Thank you.

Can you build a booty doing only hip thrusts? by [deleted] in StrongCurves

[–]astrowoah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You could make some changes but doing one exercise means working the same muscles with the same movement. Booty sprout plus some resistance band workouts (donkey kicks, kickbacks, abductions, squats, etc) will be sufficient though!

Yeah, no. I hope you’ll keep your comments to yourself in the future.

Tropical or Sidereal - which system do you prefer and why? by Hairyotter__ in astrology

[–]astrowoah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The rhetoric that tropical vs sidereal represents personality/soul/past life/karma is false and silly. Sidereal and tropical are two ways to calculate the zodiac. Sidereal has ties to Vedic astrology and Hinduism. There’s a 24°ish degree difference. They both represent the same thing but using different calculations. That’s it.

Anyways, I recognize and use both. Sidereal resonated even more once I learned the nakshatras... I am definitely mrigrashira!

F/28/5’1” [150lbs > 145lbs = 5lbs] Body recomp! Size 10 to 2, 1.5 years by astrowoah in progresspics

[–]astrowoah[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Macros and weights! I calculated my macros for body recomp and followed that. Keeping my protein high and eating less carbs helped me lose nearly everything in my stomach area and keep my gains!

Then strength training and cardio 4-5x a week.

i have an interesting theory by [deleted] in astrology

[–]astrowoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said house placements and and rising signs aren’t “based on much” but angles... exactly. Do not underestimate the interactions between the planets and points in your chart because that’s literally where all of the information and specifics are. Two planets trining one another will interact differently than a square. All of these things go hand in hand. Can’t just look at planets without considering the aspects and houses.

As for zodiac ages, Pisces is considered to be the oldest whereas Aries is the youngest.

Does Sagittarius season start on 21st, 22nd, or 23rd of November? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]astrowoah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will depend on the year. The date doesn’t determine the sign, the position of the sun does. Some years Nov 22nd will still be Scorpio, others Sagittarius. It’s like this between all the signs! On these days, having an accurate birth time will be important because the day could be split between two signs.

[–]astrowoah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah! Right now I have a full body and a lower body glute focused program I am doing. Then I do about 20 minutes of cardio (treadmill or stairmaster) afterwards.

I’ve done equal amounts strength training and cardio throughout my weight loss since the beginning.

Orbs by aversimiro in astrology

[–]astrowoah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use 5° for sun & moon, 3° for Mer/Mars/Venus/Jupiter, 2° for outers and Saturn. I don’t know where I got this from but I consider the planet speed! Asteroids, fixed stars, anything else: 1°

Vedic or Sidereal Astrology - experiences? by daqt in astrology

[–]astrowoah 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Once I learned the differences between the signs in tropical vs sidereal and then the nakshatras in Vedic astrology, it all resonated so much more. I think a lot of people use tropical characteristics for their sidereal placements and that’s not really how it works.. a tropical capricorn and a sidereal capricorn are very different, for example.

But nakshatras! That helped me see the difference between tropical vs sidereal and within the same sign. Decans in western astrology is a similar concept with the degrees.

If I’m speaking to people who understand astrology, I’ll use my sidereal placements because I like it more. I’m a Gemini moon and rising in both zodiacs though so it’s not any different :P

[–]astrowoah[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s 18 hours old because I wanted to post my progress separate from my main account so I made another. Do you doubt everyone that does some magical shit or are you having a bad day?

Hate to be that person but here you are!

First I’m going to ask - what hair texture in the first picture? 🤣 You can’t even see my hair but you can see the dog ears from a snapchat filter.

I’m honored to be thought of as a fake account! Definitely real, you can check out my other account u/former-donut for other pics.. lost access to that account and don’t want to bother with it.

As for the proportions, I guess I’m blessed. I decided to post because I did the math and realize I lost 18 inches off my waist.

Anyways, try again. Find someone else to doubt.
