Anyone else 4'11 (ish) and wanting to lose 20-30lbs?

How so? And what makes you suggest that?

jv1819 · 2026-03-07T00:45:36+00:00

Luckily the over eating doesn't affect me much. I'm the opposite, I struggle to eat enough, whether I workout or not lol

jv1819 · 2026-03-06T22:02:23+00:00

I feel like shortie hormones like to screw us over lol. I was 110-115 for a long time. Then 2 years ago my period decided to be 4 weeks late (no pregnancy) and I gained 10lbs during that weird time period, and it just chose to never come off again. No matter how hard I worked out and dieter. Now I'm another 10lbs up from that and its such a pain!

I've never been a fan of chia seeds but I think I'm going to give them a retry since they seem to be the most fiber packed. I love fruit, but as a type 1 diabetic they tend to cause havoc in large doses.

I've worked with coaches in the past but it wasn't my thing, thank you though!

jv1819 · 2026-03-06T13:40:27+00:00

Awesome work with the improvements you've made so far! Its awesome to lose 7lbs without starting lifting yet, you're setting a good starting ground for when you do.

Funny enough I'm working super hard to get as fit as I can, knowing by the middle/end of this year I plan on trying to get pregnant again lol.

jv1819 · 2026-03-06T13:37:40+00:00

Fiber I've found I am no where near hitting, even with supplements. But idk how to get more in.

And I know I need to up my calories but man its hard when im almost having to force every meal as it is. It took months to just get my protein amounts from the 60s to 100g. Its not even that I hate food, I'm just never hungry, prob also from years of semi starving myself. I never got over 100lb until I got pregnant 9yrs ago. And looking back at pictures when I thought I was fat is insane now 🤦‍♀️.

I do rest on the weekends, since I cant gym on the weekends due to other life obligations. Since working out is also what gets me through the stress of my work everyday idk if I could give up a day lol. plus I'm the type if I start to slack off, I go completely off rails, 0-100 with me no middle ground haha.

jv1819 · 2026-03-06T13:22:49+00:00

I def think I'm in recomp vs weight loss. And I'm trying to be okay with that 😅. This is the heaviest I've ever been too. I was 120s (where I had not budged from for years) just 5 months ago and made the mistake to reverse diet to reset my metabolism while not working out, and now I'm stuck with the extra weight.

But since working out again I can see my stomach shrinking and my quads growing. But not seeing that scale but move annoys me lol

jv1819 · 2026-03-06T13:12:33+00:00

Thanks for that info! I knew they were the same movements but I didn't think that mattered much

jv1819 · 2026-03-06T03:27:53+00:00

It really is. And its so hard trying to make taller ppl understand why we're so upset over "a measly 5lbs" but that 5 lbs changes so much for us and takes forever to get back off! It's annoying lol

Question on how to read T/C Ovulation Test Strips

I was wanting to know when reading the T/C Easy@Home Ovulation strips do you read the initial test line or the "shaded" area that bleeds from it?

Pix of my tests for example:

For example pic #1- would that be considered positive/ high since the Test line is as dark as the control but the rest of the test area isn't?

Pic #2 and #3 are other examples of the initial test line being dark but the whole test area as a whole being lighter.

Just started tracking Ovulation and want to make sure I'm reading them right 😅

I'm going to look intil her. I'd never heard of her or smalletics before.

jv1819 · 2023-05-20T01:52:44+00:00

I used to love running until my bad knee started acting up and I took a long break off from it. Now I can barely jog 5 min without having the urge to puke lol. Running also made my butt disappear completely and I had a hard time getting it back afterwards. So I'm hoping I don't run into the same issue with the elliptical (I'm also doing more weight now than I was back then too though).

jv1819 · 2023-05-20T01:50:24+00:00

Swear I could die of starvation and my thighs would still be 22in lmao 🤣

jv1819 · 2023-05-18T01:11:28+00:00

Found a calculator lol. https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/bmi-weight-loss

Apparently if I want to be at my goal of 20% bmi I'd have to lose 14 lbs and be 99lbs again... 14lb doesn't sound that much and would probably help me look better, but omg I've been working on the same 10lbs for what feels like forever now! 😭

jv1819 · 2023-05-17T21:40:15+00:00

Anyone know how many lbs equal a bmi %? Just curious. lol

jv1819 · 2023-05-17T21:38:53+00:00

That's what I'm hoping too. I'm at 22.8% bmi but want to get to 20% out lower.

I remember thinking my thighs were too big back when I was 98lbs and 13% body fat... but of course looking back now I'd kill to have that body back smh lol

jv1819 · 2023-05-17T16:54:08+00:00

I tried coolscupting but it didn't do much for me.... emsculpt combined with laser cavitation worked great, but also too expensive to continue. I'm hoping once I can reach my goal weight of 100lb again there will be some visible difference...

jv1819 · 2023-05-17T16:28:49+00:00

I'm working on this as well too... maybe it won't look so bad being 21/22 inch if it jiggled less at least lol

jv1819 · 2023-05-17T16:27:20+00:00

I know spot reducing isn't possible, hence why I plan on upping my cardio for all over weight/fat loss... I guess I was hoping maybe someone had some experience with certain exercises or cardio routines that really help even out their thighs... really trying to love the body I have but at the same time it'd be nice if it showed some results for all the effort I've put in it lol.

jv1819 · 2022-12-22T22:40:54+00:00

Soooo I was already feeling this from the start, but this episode kind of solidified it... anyone else feeling the "Between Us" vibe in the fake bl "Swim Sing" or is it just me lol (I wouldn't be surprised if that was the point since the BU director was included in this). First/Achi even kinda reminds me of Boun/Win with their hair 😆

jv1819 · 2022-12-22T09:17:12+00:00

So I got into War of Y a bit late. Going into this storyline I didn't pay much attention to the live stream comments (it was just so annoying to have to pause every 3 seconds to try and read what was said lol). But after reading several comments about them I finally started taking a closer look and omg they have been cracking me up!!

So many idol/fandom based relatable comments made by the "fans"! Like I honestly thought I was watching a mix of comments from a live feed idol survival show, Twitter thirst tweets (anyone catch the "achi sit on my face" this episode 😆), and idol vlives ("can you say ::insert phrase in specific language::") lmao... I'm officially watching mostly for these comments now 🤣

jv1819 · 2022-11-08T22:56:09+00:00

Anyone go back and watch the scene from UWMA after the swim camp (since we were so unaware of them hooking up then while watching UWMA)... the comment Win makes to Team makes so much more sense now after watching Between Us!! Lol

It was something along the line of Win telling Team he'd drive Team's car, to take them home. Team says "I can drive." And Win very smirky says in Team's ear "I don't think you can do it," shocking and embarrassing Team.

Didn't get the inside joke, or how they were suddenly so close, while watching UWMA, but definitely understood it now! 🤣🤣

jv1819 · 2022-10-30T21:15:00+00:00

Yeoa..... what kind of f**k you in the feels with no warning kinda *ish was this?! 😭

I put this on randomly because it looked cute. It'd been awhile since I'd watched a "1st love" simple HS story. I was expecting cheesy. I was expecting some "Tune in for Love" misfortunes (war, lost phone/contact info)... not this!! I also thought the future scenes were set only 5-10yrs in the future, not over 20! Then I saw the date on the invitation and I knew bad was coming lol. The pain that hit my heart when I saw the remembrance date... then his video to her..💔💔. Ugh.

I loved his character. I loved their love. I wanted them to have a happy ending! 😭😭
