130 lbs in May and I’m now 116 eating at maintenance. And maintenance is a scary thing for me after being so selective for so long. Was doing 3 full body workouts since last October but I recently swapped to a push/pull split and I’m loving it so far. I can’t wait to see what three months or even a year looks like. Lifting has helped me so much and changed my life. Adjustable barbell and dumbbells make me more accountable than going to a gym. I can’t workout in front of other people.

Also, anyone else have scoliosis and have a weaker side? Still working on the imbalance, and I hate how noticeable it is in pictures but it’s getting better.

Has anyone ordered from Disturbia recently noticed they swapped to using OnTrac? It’s one of the worst shipping companies I’ve ever encountered. It takes forever or gets lost. I’m a state away from where the ship from. Recent outfits for tax.

I got a Renpho scale in May, and I was quickly humbled by it. I’ve been locked in on my weight loss and fitness journey since last October of 2025. I had a high starting weight of 190. In May, I was 130 lbs with a BF% on the Renpho scale of 36%. Today, it says about 23% at 116 lbs. I do not believe that. I’ll take the flattery but realistically I’m probably around 28-30%. Navy measurements put me around 28%. Renpho also suggests I have equal muscle in left and right arm. But visually that not true. I’m right hand dominate, but that’s the weaker side and leaner. My left arm has more fat but more visual muscle and stronger. Incline bench really shows the right arm weakness. What I have learned is to divorce myself from the specific number on the scale or percentages. Just watching the trend.

I also invested more in my home gym this summer. My mother always says buy once cry once, and that applies here. I got an adjustable barbell that goes up to 125 lbs, and adjustable dumbbells that go up to 100lbs each by MX Fitness. They have micro plates to add 2.5-5 lbs. I workout with my husband and my code word for “help me get this shit off of me” is yelling “BANANA.”

Non scale victories:
I can now deadlift more than my body weight for 10-12 reps (125lbs).
Bench press PR this week of 80 lbs for 6 reps.
I prefer power walking but as of August I can run a mile in under 9 minutes. It feels like micro dosing hell, and idk how y’all do it.
I can do 8 dips and 5 strong pull ups. I started at one rep pull up in April/ May.
I can do an hour of yard work in the BS heat and not feel gassed. I actually like picking up sticks now.
I have grown half an inch? I swear I was 4’10.5 and suddenly am 4’11.

Hi redditors looking if this should be your next mattress purchase. I said I’d update in 3, 6 and 12 month increments. Life slipped away from me but I’m here to review!

King Size Classic Hybrid

Comfort: It’s gotten better with age. I’m 70 lbs lighter than when we purchased this mattress. It’s broken in beautifully. I’m 118 lbs and I sleep fine on my back or side. I do sometimes wish I would have gotten the premier instead of the classic, but it fits my needs just fine.

Structure: the sides hold up just fine. I can sit on the edge and feel supported. As can my 200 lb husband. I haven’t noticed any dipping or sagging. We rotate the mattress when we change bed sheets so I’m sure this helps.

Temperature: if you use the right sheets (hint Cotton) it will be fine. 9/10 it’s the sheets. I thought I liked bamboo and I kept buying Cariloha sheets but my husband sweats in those. Sateen works fine.

Would I buy again? Yes! It’s affordable, comfortable but I do wish it was more plush. That’s a personal preference.

I’d like to add one thought. My previous reviews seem to be a repository for upset customers due to shipping. I’m not a customer service agent. Please make your own post or get in touch with the appropriate parties. I can’t fix your issue and it’s rude. It’s my post regarding my experience, make your own post please.

33F, 118-120lbs, 4’10.5

I am at the point I want to focus on body recomp. I’ve lost over 70lbs in the last year and I walk 8k-16k steps a day. Generally less on the days I lift 3x a week for 60-75 minutes. I focus on progress overload. I walk a lot outside at a brisk pace. Some are slower strolls for mental health and my weekly average is about 11k overall.

For the beginning of my journey I used my Apple Watch as a gauge for how many calories I should eat. I was losing 2-2.2 lbs a week until around April. As of July I lost 3.8 pounds a week. I started to “reverse diet” my way back up because I’m honestly terrified of gaining it back but I needed more fuel for my gains. I have visible muscle, I’m proud of the work I’ve put in. But it could be better out of a deficit.

I got a free session with a personal trainer and he said my TDEE was 1550. That feels low given my movement but I am petite. He is insistent that all the apps and my watch are trash. My watch that also pairs with bevel averages about 1750. MacroFactor is basically the same. I guess it’s hard for me to interpret as I do not eat the same amount everyday in a deficit. In July I ate anywhere from 1200 on a rest day because I’m a complete potato besides the 8k steps, to 1450 on a heavy lift day. How accurate has MacroFactor or your Apple Watch been for you? I’m wanting to go into maintenance but scared of hopping off this wagon.

SW:190 CW:118 GW:115? Height: 4’10.5
I skipped a few months sharing with you guys because I had to take a break from Reddit. As of yesterday, I am now 118 lbs. This entire journey has been a roller coaster, I’m constantly battling body dysmorphia, moving the goal post, and wishing my results were different. Specifically with my abdomen. I guess 15 years of obesity, yo-yoing weight and birthing a whole human will do that.

I’ve changed my diet, learned better habits during this time, walk 8k-15k steps daily, and strength train 3x a week. I’ve invested in a full gym at my house with adjustable dumbbells and barbells, etc. I’m happy that I’ve gotten stronger and enjoy lifting. I can deadlift my body weight for 8 reps, and I can do 4 pull ups on a bar. I feel better than ever but I look in the mirror and I’m just constantly disappointed. I went from a size 16 to a size 4-6. Some brands even an XS or size 0. I still feel like the old version of me sometimes. I don’t know if I want to continue meds forever. I don’t know when to hope off the wagon and focus on body recomp. I want to look like someone who lifts, but I feel like I just look like a slightly smaller version of me. I’m going to continue my nutrition and fitness journey. For those that are wondering, I’ve been on .5 mg the entire time (aside from starter dose the first month). The scale is a lot harder to move these days as my TDEE is around 1700-1800 now. I’ve upped my caloric intake to around 1400 for my fitness goals. I lost about 3.7 lbs in July.

I am 4’10 and have a larger than average chest, but nothing crazy. I lost a lot of weight (8 more pounds to go) and I’m still figuring out sizing. I buy a lot second hand from brands I love and if I really want it on the brands website, I’ll just get it. Lately I’ve been wearing a 6 in Disturbia but those items are getting looser. No big deal, I’ll tailor them. On Vinted I found a $20 mini Pinafore dress by Disturbia that’s sold out on website. The resell market is high for disturbia so it was a steal. Sellers on Vinted rarely add measurements and I snagged it because in the past an item as sold before a seller responded, if they even did. It was a size 4, so I was somewhat confident it would work.

NOPE. I go to button it up, I’m getting excited until I get to the chest. Without a bra I can button it, but BARELY. Needless to say, I’m disappointed, and idk if a 6 would fit elsewhere the same way and I can’t find it online second hand in a 6 to have it tailored. It was actually the right length and not knee length on me. The waist down was SO flattering. I’ve never had this problem with this brand, so maybe it’s the style of dress?

Anyways, do you know where I could find a dress similar with a more forgiving bust area? Or pinafore dresses in general I could try in stores or online that won’t look frumpy in length?

Anthuriums are my favorite. We moved from Florida to Kentucky two years ago and the only anthurium that I brought with me is my bush of a Clarinervium. I was afraid they’d all die or struggle and moving was more than I could handle at the time. As we’ve settled in, I’ve slowly started collecting again. My husband got me what I call, “anthurium starter pack” at a recent plant expo. They have settled in and are pushing new leaves. I now have 5 new babies, and boy do I want more. I want to replace all the ones I gave away. But my question is what is the best fertilizer? My normal soil mix has had to change as it’s a different climate. It’s more chunky but I still use worm castings and bat guano. I use to use a variety of plant vitamins (liquid dirt, super thrive), and MSU Lite from Tezula. I think I used the last of my Tezula slow release on my aroids since being here so I’ve been using Osmocote (don’t shame me please). That being said, is there a favorite? One you’d recommend? Or is the MSU Lite still a decent combo with super thrive? I feel like rusty. My husband also got me a Delta Force for anniversary present and I want it to THRIVE!

Some days I wake up and I see the progress. But I still feel like a big girl. I’m 4’10 and I was 190+ pounds and I did not wear it well. I’m now 135, and my goal is 120. My initial goal was 135 but when I got to about 145, I realized I needed to move the goal post. I’m still not happy. I am overly critical of my arms, and my mom belly. I’ve been strength training this entire time but it feels like I should have seen more progress? I do full body workouts 3x a week and throw in yoga and Pilates. Physically I feel amazing. I can do pull ups now, I have my mobility back and I can run a mile. In 11 minutes.

Is this all in my head? I finally started getting new clothes lately. I reached for 10/12 and ended up a 6/8. I feel like an imposter. I feel wide. I feel delusional on the days I feel good. Other days I feel like a mini meatball sub. Does anyone else experience this after weight loss? Is there something I should be doing differently? I’m so close to the finish line. I don’t want to be on the meds forever. I want to go into maintenance and taper off.
