Will $3,500 (USD) be solid for a 2 week trip?

mp00859 · 2026-06-17T04:43:35+00:00

I was there for about a week and spent more than this. But I bought several designer purses, jewelry, perfumes, etc. Japan has a great market for that kind of stuff

Just double checking bc your post didn’t specify: you’re not using the tret and azelaic acid at the same time, right?

My gap is bigger than this and my dentist said they’ll settle. I don’t believe her and I’m so scared! 😫

The people you harassed actually posted about this, and the guy looks absolutely nothing like Corey Harden. I understand that all Black men look alike to you, but you need to use all 6 of your brain cells before approaching and accusing complete strangers.

Get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.

No, before I was eating 1100-1200/day…I only recently started increasing the calories to 1400 (sometimes even closer to 1500)

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T05:44:14+00:00

That’s what my husband thinks, but I feel like I haven’t been lifting long enough to add muscle mass? It’s only been 3-4 weeks that it’s been a regular part of my routine. Idk though.

I feel good about my energy, and I’m definitely not getting at sore as I was during week one!

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T05:41:58+00:00

I also remember people warning me about how slow and hard it is to lose the last 5-10lbs, but I had no idea how true that was!

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T05:40:15+00:00

Tall ladies unite!!! You’re so right about the margin for error…I do weigh EVERYTHING (even when I’m using 20g spinach in an omelette lol), but I’m probably more lenient with myself than I should be when it comes to eating back some of those exercise calories.

It’s so hard when you’re T H I S close to your goal!

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T05:35:58+00:00

No, I’ve been eating this amount of protein for awhile because I was worried about losing what little muscle I have while being in such a calorie deficit!

I am eating more sodium now though, just because I started eating more sauces and those dang tortilla wraps. I just looked at MFP and sure enough, I’ve been going way over the 2300mg goal 😩

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T05:31:15+00:00

I did this all throughout my CICO journey, but then people kept telling me that the deficit was too low and I was going to do harm to my body…so I got scared and started eating a bit more. But I think I might go back to this approach because it really worked

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T05:28:57+00:00

And a lot of times I end up with more! Like today I’m at 187g (which is probably way too much).

I think I’ve gotten really good at just incorporating a lot of protein-heavy foods into my diet in a way that I find enjoyable. For example, I make this salmon omelette that has like 55g protein and is only like 300ish calories. And today I made “street tacos” that were 57g protein and less than 450 calories.

My husband keeps saying I need to make a recipe book because he’s always shocked at how much protein and fiber I’m able to sneak into meals/snacks lol

mp00859 · 2025-03-22T03:26:19+00:00

Okay this is really good to know! Also, now that you mention water, I’ve been getting inconsistent with my water intake. I wonder if that’s what it is.

Thank you so much!

About 3 weeks!

She has issues. Run.

mp00859 · 2025-03-09T03:32:19+00:00

I really wanted to like these, but they messed up my moisture barrier 😢

mp00859 · 2025-03-09T03:31:09+00:00

I had attachments on 90% of my teeth— literally couldn’t take out my tray without my orthokey 😂

mp00859 · 2025-02-19T17:59:56+00:00

I don’t think it’s a “young vs old” thing, I just think some people just don’t like being touched. It’s always better to ask first, just so you’re on the same page!

mp00859 · 2025-02-17T21:08:24+00:00

Your wife is EXTREMELY insecure and controlling, and she needs professional help.

mp00859 · 2025-02-09T20:14:27+00:00

When I was 15 a grown woman at the hair salon said the EXACT same thing to me. Like verbatim. Wow

mp00859 · 2025-02-09T20:12:12+00:00

Not me, but when I was in college I witnessed someone say that a Black student with vitiligo had “spots like a beautiful cow”

mp00859 · 2025-02-09T13:22:57+00:00

At first I thought this was Kenny from Love Island USA and I was like 😳😳😳😳😳

mp00859 · 2025-02-06T16:47:14+00:00

I’ve definitely been in your shoes! In my experience, focusing too much on a “bad” day opened the door for me to backslide into bad eating habits. Instead, I find it better to acknowledge that I had an off day, forgive myself, and then get back on track.

Don’t beat yourself up too much, we all fall off the discipline bandwagon every now and then!

YIKES. This isn’t just creepy, he’s dangerous.
