I love the cauliflower gnocchi so much and they’ve been a staple in my lifestyle change that has helped maintain my weight loss goals. Unfortunately I moved away from a tj’s and the closet one is an hour away 😭😭
Any alternatives besides making them myself?
I am moving from FL to Chicago in December and feel completely unsure how to dress for the office. I am concerned about showing up like a fat marshmallow looking all frazzled and that’s not the impression i want to be making. I also love to run on the LFT so any items for making that more enjoyable !
Currently what I have:
Lands end expedition parka
Uniqlo heattech thermal long sleeves and legging
Know layering is key
Planning to wear long skirts/dresses and layering under/over them.
As someone chronically cold i need recs on outfit inspo, gloves, scarves, boots, jackets,fabric blends on clothes. Links or advice is appreciated!!!
Please drop your chicago winter survival items!!! Will be using the red line or blue line mostly depending on where I decide to live.

Been eyeing these as healthier alternatives to eating processed sugar, obviously I know they are not low calorie but I’m focusing on eating foods that will make me feel good. Any ideas?? I’m normally pretty good at estimating but these have me at a loss
Hi! I know this is early, but just putting out feelers to see what may be available.
Looking for:
a place located close to a red, blue, or brown line stop. Very interested in west town, wicker park, west loop and river north/ river west! Would like my commute to be under 45 minutes to the loop so prefer not to be above north ave, don’t love lincoln park either
budget of 1700/mo, ideally it’d be a studio or 1 bed but i am open to having female roommates as long as i have my own bathroom. Furnished would be cool but not a necessity. If this is wishful thinking lol please tell me
Exact dates are flexible but im planning for mid December to mid March (spring internship)

I ate ice cream alone in my bed after a fresh shower, Because i wanted it. I would have never done this a few months ago and im feeling proud of myself. I am uncomfortable right now and a little panicky but it’s a lesson I need, and a step towards freedom. I had my first period after 2 years of not last month and i am supposed to get my 2nd on Monday. Fingers crossed it comes, i want to be separate from this disease and be healed. My period was only 3 days long last month so idk but I knew it was coming based on certain things

I’ve been eyeing this place near me but was wondering abt the calorie estimate just so I can help budget for the rest of my day!
What’s the general consensus on her being out charli for girl so confusing OR her playing if she could see me now??
if she played ISCSMN I would be unwell and my life would be altered
Hi CBWT! I (21) moved here in June and love to go to different spots where I can chat with strangers or just sit and get out of the house.
Any recs on bars that are good for this? I’m in streeterville but tend to go north when I am bopping around!! Not into a clubbing scene despite my age lol
TW Weight gain and loss mentioned
I’ve been through the wringer with my cycle, first lost it in July/ August of 2024 when I started to lose weight and make a huge shift in my lifestyle. It came from a good effort because I was genuinely unhealthy and severely overweight. Lost >!70lbs!< at my lowest of >!105!< but was such a miserable person to be around because I had restricted for so long and obsessively exercising. At that point I was stage lean and suffering the consequences.
Had to go through extreme hunger and a full binge cycle where I felt helpless alone and ashamed, not to mention uncomfortable in my body. Recovery is a journey and there are still days where I feel irrational around food and the odd rules I’ve created in my mind. Would most def say I was all in for 3 month and gained >!15lbs!<
I never once stopped or cut out exercise, my lifts got better and I feel stronger. I was able to start running because I was no longer under fueled. I live in an extremely walkable city and have no way around constant walking for daily tasks
A month ago I started sweating again lol. Sounds off but I hadn’t sweat in a good year from my hormones being so off. 2 weeks ago I started noticing my sex drive coming back in full force after having no desire with HA, my boobs were sore to the touch and hurt just from wearing a sports bra. My stomach was cramping and my legs ached as well. Emotions all over the place and was crying a lot
Basically I’d like any advice on how to make sure or enhance the chances of it becoming regular again!
