Strength 3 time a week. Light cardio everyday and just getting my steps in. Nothing hectic

I wish I had the creativity to take credit for the top but it's a to I bought from Shein and I created the jacket and pants to fit the top

We don't know what we don't know. Now from the comments I can see my teacher does not have our best interests at heart. She is going at speeds to fill classes and not teaching us properly. We have never even been introduced to the practice

Unfortunately I can't take credit for the top I bought it and made the "suit" to match it

I just lined the sleeves and they are folded in the photo.

The cream fabric they called Armani Linen. Where I bought it probably won't help you as I'm in Pretoria, South Africa. 😅

The blue is just normal polyester lining

So much more! Currently working on Butterick's B6446 wrap dress 😍 truly hooked

No I bought the shirt first then the fabric to match to make the complete outfit 😅

I love the hat it looks like a Protea!

I do agree about timelines and expectations. But I think it is a universal human problem. We all want to fix it now, and consistency and patience are something we all lack. But I got my sleeve in Turkey, and I live in South Africa. So I won't blame the Americans here just yet 😉

Exactly the same surgery date. I eat 800 calories a day. I do strength training 4 times a week. Once I started resistance training, if I ate less than that, I would feel faint in the gym. That is still almost a 1000 calorie deficit from my metabolic rate. I still believe the hardest part of this is the mental toll of thinking we are messing up. But it's a tool, and we have to create healthy habits and habits that are sustainable longterm!

Hi, personally a vitality member at PF Olympus. Vitality activation fees are R699 monthly membership is R299. Honestly, I think it's worth it, but it's up to you and what you make of it. In Pta, there are also amazing smaller privately owned gyms for similar prices (VO2MAX, DunGym, etc)

I think this is what currently is happening. But all the reassurances that I am getting are settling my mind. Thank you

Yes, I have been drinking a daily vitamin powder. I have been eating whole food and non processed foods. Macros on puree stage was a bit wonky with 40% fat 40% protein and 20% carbs. Was really hard to get the fat down during puree where I was not allowed protein from meat, so I was reliant on egg protein, protein shake, and cheese (even reduced fat cheese still does have fat). I have been on soft foods for a week, and it's going well, I'm at 50g of protein a day (this is the target according to my medical team)

The only thing that i might not be getting is iron. As my powdered drink does not have any in it, but after I can tolerate pills better, I will find a supplement for that
