I recently lowered my calories to 1500 because I wasn’t losing on 1700. I work out 5-6 days a week. Usually 2 strength training and 3 mixed stuff like hot yoga, Pilates, conditioning etc. since I went down I start feeling really weak during my workouts and this morning I even felt dizzy. Is it just a matter of getting used to 1500 cal or should I adjust something. Right now my split is 110p, 50f and 153 c. I will admit that sometimes I don’t meet my protein and I’m at more like 95ish. I never go lower than 90. I pulled my charts for the last 2 weeks and my average was 95 so maybe I really need to try to get 110.

I looked at a place luminous med but the starting price is $1500 plus the actual product. Seems crazy to me. They’re ultrasound guided and I think that would be good because my filler is super old. Thanks!!!

I accidentally left my tatcha water cream in my mail box for 5 days and it’s been crazy hot in CA. Do you think I should just exchange or should I just use it if it looks fine? I’m not sure if the heat would affect it. I’m sure I’m transport it gets hot too but the metal mailbox is probably like 110 or something.

Weird question but I started going to the gym in the morning and I’m trying to reduce how much I take with me. It needs to have spf. I don’t go outside at all but I like to have it just for inside.

Thanks

I have super heavy and painful periods. Like literally today I soaked through a tampon and pad on my 30 min drive to work and almost leaked to my pants. I’ve seen 3 different gyn, had 3 pelvic ultrasounds and talked to my pcp and they all act like nothing is wrong. The one piece of advice I got is one provider said to get an iud- which I’m still considering but I don’t like the fact that most providers give no pain relief. It’s like this for about 2 days and then the rest of the time is ok. I’m 44 with no children for reference. Is there a provider I should seek or someone else to talk to?

He’s been soooo nasty the past few weeks!!! Gage problems????

I got them off in Feb and I’ve been using nailtiques formula 2 and 2 plus all that time. At first my nails were super bendy and peely. Now they’re stronger but they’re still peeling right near the ends as soon as the nailtiques chips off around day 2-3. It’s almost like they’re a little brittle. Should I switch to something else. I’ve been using either jojoba oil or hard as hoof the entire time. I usually remove the nailtiques and reapply every 3-4 days but sometimes I just reapply on top.

TIA

I’m a female and I’m noticing a lot more hair fall after transplant. I’m about 4 1/2 month out from a kidney transplant so I’m not sure if it’s the trauma from the transplant and it will stop or the meds. I’m on 2mg of tacro and 1000mg of mycophenolate and 10mg of pred for immunosupression. I have a lot of hair so I haven’t noticed it much in my hair except I have more baby hairs in the front so maybe they are falling out and then growing again?? It’s kind of stressing me out because every shower it’s a huge handful and before I usually only had a few hairs and every few days I have to clean up my floor because it’s covered and I never had that issue before.

Thanks!!!!

I normally use charlotte tilbury spray with everything but I notice mild separation with this. Should I just go without? TIA.

There are mixed reviews so I want to see if anyone has any first hand experiences. Thanks

Some liforme mats are on prime day sales. I ended up getting a mat for like $131 before tax.

I only ever see maybe like 10% of people clean props after class. Is this normal or is my studio full of gross people. I’m immunocompromised so I probably shouldn’t even go to group classes but I love it so it’s like something I just need to do but I feel annoyed by it. It’s also yoga six so I’m wondering if it’s a big box yoga thing.

Every other recommendation has been on point probably because I have a similar hair type to her. I don’t like the living proof bonded. It makes my hair really hard to brush through which makes me feel like I’m ripping it out when I brush through it. I also just get annoyed by the smell of living proof in general.

I was lucky to be off for awhile and then back on 5mg and now 10mg. I literally cannot put down the snacks. 😬😬 any tips? I’m trying to eat volume stuff like popcorn and fruit but I’m seriously struggling. Tia

I’m touring some local gyms and I’m sick of ones that don’t advertise their prices. I’m basically looking for somewhere that has classes, gym and clean shower facilities. It’s surprisingly hard to find out here.

So I actually kind of followed this method before I even found her because I had seb derm so I’ve been using ketokonazale shampoo and washing more frequently for awhile but now I’m using like 2x as much conditioner and more conditioning heat stylers. What I noticed is my style really doesn’t hold as well. I suspect it’s because my hair is too moisturized. I have fine hair but a lot of it. Anyone else have this issue? My hair is as long and full as ever but I get sick of wearing it straight.

How much is it? I love the idea of a gym that’s not filled with teenage boys and is clean but I’m always suspicious when a place doesn’t list prices or wants you to take a tour. Equinox is expensive but the one out here isn’t even very clean. If you’re a member what’s your opinion of it?

I know we’re not allowed to have unheated deli meat but what about the ones that are in a sausage and you cut them yourself at home? I assume that’s ok. It’s usually salami and pepperoni.

We did that a few years ago but I had surgery in Feb and I don’t think I’m quite up to it. I was thinking inspiration point because we haven’t done that yet. Any other ideas? I loved Taft point but glacier rd might now be open we’re going 5/10. Thanks!!
