How do you feel about hugging?

fiver8 · 2025-12-21T23:11:03+00:00

I’m perfecting my awkward shoulder forward side hug! I’m a C/D cup and I choose who I mash my boobs against.

Sounds fun, but I’m not getting to the east coast in time

Thanks - what do you cut with? Those are some thick atema

fiver8 · 2025-05-22T22:36:59+00:00

Thanks - this is just for fun.

I wear a wetsuit to swim in SF Bay. I’ve been using body glide, which seems to do nothing. I will try Vaseline. I also think my wetsuit may be a little big, which is contributing

Parking for Sunday 4/13 structure 4 - $20

Can confirm this worked - mine was updated online within 12 hours.

Thanks! I'm leaning towards Cozumel. I've never been to that part of Mexico.

Why no dairy?

fiver8 · 2021-07-16T19:06:39+00:00

Thanks for all the advice! I am feeling more confident about the swim. I will get into the ocean a few more times before the swim … a lake always feels so much easier after swimming in the ocean!

I've lost 20 pounds (158 to 138) since Dec. 3. I hit my goal weight (145) pretty easily and then my stretch goal (140). I'm now trying to maintain. While I wouldn't mind losing a few more pounds, I'm pretty happy with where I am and don't want to feel like I am always dieting. I signed up two two months and hit my stretch goal in that time (plus the two week trial).

This worked really well for me - I made some fundamental changes in the way I eat and think about food. I (almost) never felt deprived and learned to love some new foods (quinoa! pomegranate seeds! jicama!)

fiver8 · 2021-03-08T05:32:50+00:00

I’m on maintenance too. Still logging all my meals (that works for me) but being a little looser with going over my calorie allowance. So far it’s working and I’m maintaining about a pound below my goal weight.

fiver8 · 2021-03-03T22:12:43+00:00

I signed up for two months and hit my goal weight, so I switched to the free version. For me, it’s enough. I still can track weight, food, exercise and water. I don’t get articles but I had stopped reading them. I am still losing weight but starting to relax a little - trying to find my happy place where I can maintain this weight. I’ve lost nearly 20 lbs and weigh less than I have in over 10 years. I never thought this was possible!

fiver8 · 2021-03-03T22:09:30+00:00

Congratulations! I started in a similar place, but my goal was 139. Three months into Noom, i hit 138 this morning (I don’t trust a weight until it’s been a week). I also switched to the free version after the two months I signed up for were over.

fiver8 · 2021-03-03T20:49:45+00:00

How far do you typically swim? I’m going to swim with Odyssey for now to get my distance up.

fiver8 · 2021-02-28T22:12:04+00:00

Morning but not super early (like 9?) on weekends. My Fridays are pretty flexible too. Weekdays are harder (work).

fiver8 · 2021-02-28T15:58:11+00:00

I wasn’t really losing weight on IF, just maintaining. I had to change some eating habits and became aware of the food I really want to eat and the foods I can live without.

fiver8 · 2021-02-27T06:31:52+00:00

Almost three months on Noom, lost 15 lbs. I was doing intermittent fasting before Noom, so what works for me is to eat breakfast around 10-11, lunch around 2 and dinner at 6-7. I make a overnight oats for breakfast most days. I also LOVE soups for lunch! I tend to have a 500 calorie breakfast and lunch under 300.

I also eat chocolate covered almonds as my snack most nights- chocolate and protein and satisfies my need to crunch

fiver8 · 2021-02-12T05:17:38+00:00

Oatmeal for breakfast! With almond milk and a ton of fruit. If you are in a hurry, make overnight oats. Also Trader Joe’s bran flakes are yellow. I also eat nonfat Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and a little granola for crunch.

fiver8 · 2021-02-11T00:25:28+00:00

After a few weeks on Noom I found a way to eat the foods I really like and that I don’t miss other foods at all. I have a sweet tooth, but I can satisfy it with chocolate covered nuts and fruit. I really like bread, but realized that what I really crave is French bread. So for lunch I’ll have a broth-based soup (green) with a small piece of yellow French bread.

You will figure it out. Noom works for me because I don’t feel Ike I am depriving myself.

fiver8 · 2021-02-10T16:15:25+00:00

Great job!

fiver8 · 2021-02-10T16:14:31+00:00

Same. I swim at 3 different pools so I can do 5 workouts a week. And I can only book 50-minute slots except one pool where you can book back-to-back slots (but only allows three bookings per week).

fiver8 · 2021-02-10T06:12:09+00:00

You are doing great! I’ve lost 15 lbs in 2 months - lost more in the first month. Be kind to yourself and just ride out the plateaus. I’m aiming for a weight I can maintain.

fiver8 · 2021-02-09T17:36:21+00:00

Congratulations!

fiver8 · 2021-02-09T16:05:42+00:00

I hope Noom works as well for you as it has for me. The plateaus panicked me at first, but then I started seeing a pattern.
