For the past week, my husband and I had been regularly feeding a very fragile and scared stray mother dog and her puppy. We had become quite attached to them.

Last night, I was sitting beside the mother and the puppy. My husband was on the other side of the road, holding our dog. He said, “Before we go home, I’ll pet the puppy once. You come and hold our dog.”

The puppy was still drinking milk from his mother, and my husband hadn’t even gone near him yet. I started walking towards my husband to take Manu from him.
And within those few seconds, a car accidentally ran over the puppy.

It happened so suddenly. The puppy cried, collapsed, his eyes partially closed, and his tongue started twisting. He became completely unresponsive. I kept patting him, not knowing what else to do.

There was a 24/7 pet clinic nearby, so we took him there immediately. Honestly, even before leaving, I had a feeling that he was already gone because his head had gone completely limp and he wasn’t responding at all. But we still needed a vet to confirm.

The clinic confirmed that he had passed away. We handed him over for cremation and paid for the cremation arrangements.

What is breaking my heart now is his mother. She was right there when it happened. After we came back home, she was still waiting. She eventually went back to her usual spot, but I can’t stop thinking about what she must be feeling or whether she knows her puppy is gone.

I know it was an accident. There was nothing intentional about it. But I keep replaying those few seconds in my head and thinking about how everything changed so quickly.

I just really hope his little mother is okay. 💔

Title: 26F, 90–95kg, 165cm. Want to lose as much fat as possible by November without crash dieting. Looking for a sustainable plan.
Hi everyone,
I’m a 26-year-old female, 165 cm tall, currently weighing somewhere between 90–95 kg.
I’ve successfully lost weight multiple times before. My lowest weight was 55 kg. Later I regained and reached around 75 kg, lost it again, and maintained between 65–68 kg for almost 2 years.
Over the last few years I’ve gained significant weight and am now back at 90–95 kg. I also have hormonal imbalances and my thyroid levels are close to becoming problematic, so I want to approach this carefully and sustainably.
I got married in March, and since then I’ve gained around 20 kg. I’m now determined to get back in shape and lose as much fat as possible before November in a healthy, sustainable way.
My goal isn’t just to lose weight on the scale—I want to lose fat, preserve/build muscle, tighten up my body, reduce my flabby arms, improve my overall shape, and look and feel amazing.
A few details:
Female, 26 years old
165 cm
90–95 kg
Work from home as a content creator/editor
Mostly sedentary during work hours
Can consistently hit 8,000–10,000 steps daily
Have access to a gym
Can eat vegetables, eggs, chicken, and fish
Don’t want to do crash diets
Don’t want to do intermittent fasting
Don’t want to go below 1,400 calories
Willing to track food accurately
Can commit to exercise consistently
Potential routine:
Morning (6–7 AM):
Walking or cardio
Evening (4:30–5:30 PM):
Strength training at the gym
Possibly adding:
Pilates at home a few times per week
More activity later in the journey if needed
Supplements I currently take:
Creatine
Collagen
Vitamin D
Zincovit
B-complex
Questions:
Is losing 30 kg by November realistic, or should I set a different target?
What calorie intake would you recommend starting at for sustainable fat loss?
Should I keep calories the same throughout the entire journey, or gradually reduce them as my weight decreases?
How much protein should I be aiming for daily? Is 100g enough?
What would a realistic fat-loss timeline look like from now until November?
How would you structure my strength training split?
How much cardio would you recommend without risking burnout?
How often should I have refeeds or diet breaks to avoid plateaus?
Has anyone gone from a similar weight range (90–95 kg) to significantly leaner in about 5 months while preserving muscle?
What are the biggest mistakes I should avoid if I want the results to last?
I’m looking for advice from people who have successfully lost a significant amount of weight, coaches, nutritionists, or anyone experienced with sustainable fat loss and body recomposition.
I’d love to hear what worked for you and what you would do differently if you were starting over.
Thank you!
