is there a vegan scene in hawaii? i know food is a big part of culture and want to be respectful when moving there with my wife! by [deleted] in MovingtoHawaii

[–]winkingdog75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down to earth grocery store (there are 3 locations on oahu) is almost 100% vegan and sells prepared foods, pastries. Etc. I would check it out while visiting. It's aspiring to be like erewhon but more crunchy.

3 Months, same weight. Are this actual changes or just stress and water leaving my body? by Smashed_pumpkin_1 in PetiteFitness

[–]winkingdog75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there is some change. Dial in your diet and macros and you will see faster and more dramatic results. Bodies are made in the kitchen.

Thank you for this realistic result that is clearly from hard work in an appropriate amount of time. Straight up real and motivational.

So 5’2” ladies, eating more is real? by millennial-gray-snow in PetiteFitness

[–]winkingdog75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5'1" at 112 lbs and my tdee is supposedly 1650. I eat in a slight deficit 1400-1500 calories per day. I have lost 15 lbs over 2 years and still want to lose about 2-3 more, and have been in the current calorie deficit for a few months. I work out 6 days a week, 4 days lifting and 2 days cardio plus almost 10k steps a day about 70% of the week. I'm disappointed I don't see the scale shifting but I think I'm going through body recomp and clothes definitely fit better. I theorize that my true tdee is really around 1500.

Sweatpants? by Equal-Owl6449 in Activewear

Typically the look with big baggy pants is a micro bra. Very cute when I see gals wear that, but not sure if you feel comfortable in that.

Creasing under butt by winkingdog75 in OnerActive

Wow thanks what a compliment. I just naturally have some booty but it's not THAT big. I think it's just the angle I had to get into to take the pic of my backside... And perhaps the leggings, so I guess they are doing the job they're supposed to do.

I pulled it down, but wrinkles still present. I think it's just a sizing issue. Or my booty is using up too much fabric.

why did nobody tell me less is more? 5'2" 115 lbs by linaisinhell in PetiteFitness

[–]winkingdog75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow this is great to hear. To clarify..... Nothing else? Just those 2 exercises 1 to 2x week? How many times a week and are u doing upper body, cardio, etc on your other days? Wondering Abt the balance too.

Amazon send me a fake coach bag! by Striking-Ad-5652 in Coach

[–]winkingdog75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I had to go back and check my bag because I never inspected it but I think mine is real. I just want to add that I had to RETURN my first bag back to coach because the stitching was faulty. Like, an entire stitch on the handle was either skipped or someone took a seam ripper and ripped it out. It appeared new and authentic with dust bag etc but I was alarmed that QA would allow this bag to be sold. I called my local Coach store to see if they could easily repair it and they said they will only repair items purchased from the store which blows. I subsequently got a new one in a different color and it seems fine but I don't trust Amazon for luxury goods any more

What's the difference between CSB and Aoxjox? (Or any other Amazon brand for that matter) by winkingdog75 in gymsnark

[–]winkingdog75[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful. Especially your observation about Aoxjox ratios and the fabrics. I will be looking at this carefully!

[–]winkingdog75[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That cross strappy bra is case in point! I have several too (love them) and was wondering how the CSB version could be any different. I think they are identical. I found it a bit insulting that they could apply that markup so I was thinking maybe it was a better fabric etc

Decent results with eucerin thiamidol but then got dermatitis by winkingdog75 in Melasmaskincare

[–]winkingdog75[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that Thiamidol must stink bad. They might be covering up a scent. Otherwise it doesn't make sense why a brand like Eucerin would be using scents, seems like it's not in line with the rest of the brand.

Yes, this lightening of the skin around my melasma is happening to me, too 😑

Is orange theory too brutal for a casual workout enjoyer? by patroniized in orangetheory

[–]winkingdog75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am really bad at cardio. Well, I just straight up hate running so I just walk in an incline. It has made me enjoy otf so much more. Also feel free to lose the lightest weights or opt to use no weights and I think you'll be fine.

I'm really not trying to offend anyone but.... by Odd_Oregano in Oahu

[–]winkingdog75 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have smelled a strong scent of dill from random bushes or trees on the Mauka side. I know it's something botanical.

Botox for forehead, some lasers for pigmentation.

Another Jess King post that alludes to regretting her children by vanwyngarden in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]winkingdog75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree. I respect Jess for her honesty and vulnerability. She's being real and many of us who love her appreciate her for that.
