very beginner, no idea where to start

hello, i want to start going to the gym and changing my diet and just overall being more healthy and productive, but i genuinely don’t know where to start.

i’m 5’4(F) and probably 150lbs~ but i haven’t checked in a month or so.

I eat pretty awfully and maybe once a day, twice at most, and when i do, it’s usually not something healthy. currently i’ve been unemployed for almost 4 months(not by choice) so i am also moving a lottt less than i used to.

i have an idea of the type of foods i need to start eating so I’m not as concerned about that, i’m just not sure how many calories/protein i should aim for i guess since i want to both lose fat and gain muscle.

my bf and i want to start going to the gym. i want to gain muscle yes, but i do want to be 135lbs~(honestly i don’t care much about the number i just want lower fat and some muscle.) But i don’t know where to even look for advice. i’ve never worked out a day in my life. i dont know what any machines do, what muscles to work out and when, and i just feel overwhelmed

so how do you build a workout routine? how many days a week should i go to the gym and for how long? i don’t think it would be hard for me to commit to it, i just don’t even know what i’m doing lol. are there any apps, or videos?

any advice would be nice, thank you guys.

i’m looking for a fun modpack

Hello. i’m kinda looking for an exploration mod pack with quests and i guess a progression sort of thing and lots to do. something i can loose track of time playing. But i don’t really want magic to be the main focus. combat is fine, i like bosses and rpg but i’m not very great at magic stuff? I wanted to play fantasyMC, but i don’t know if i can get into it.(though do let me know if i should give it another try) i do have curse forge and modrinth and my PC can run heavy mods.

I’m “kinda” new to modded minecraft but as long as there’s help on what to do i don’t really mind any difficulty or anything.

What color would you say?

sometimes they look greenish, sometimes they just look kinda grey. it usually depends on the lighting. I used to have Blue on my license but that just doesn’t feel right

Can i get to my goal size?

i just stretched to 9mm. As my ears are getting bigger I’m realizing that one is a lot thinner than the other (probably) because they were pierced unevenly when my mom got them done when i was a child.

(naked ear pics were before stretching, and sorry the picture quality isn’t great, my phone camera kind of sucks)

Are either of them gonna be a problem for me? I want to hit AT LEAST 1/2”, so 12mm, but i kinda was just going to keep going until i was good with it. i definitely want to go bigger than a 00g, but i don’t know how much i can.

Will waiting longer help? i don’t mind waiting because my ears have always taken forever to stretch and i started like 5 years ago😭😂 or am i just overthinking it anyway lol.
