Hey friends. Posted here earlier today about the cardigan I’d finished for my SIL’s birthday gift.

I gave it to her, and she IMMEDIATELY put it on, and said she loved it.

When I apologized for it being ugly and tried to say that if she didn’t like it she could tell me what she would actually like, she threatened to punch me in the boob.

She loved it. I overreacted.

Sorry if I upset anyone. I know my original post got a few downvotes and comments that the cardigan wasn’t to people’s taste.

Thanks all. Much love!

Hey lovely people! I was wondering if you could please give me some advice?
If not, I totally get it.

Basically, a dietitian I met with regarding a weight loss plateau told me “it may not be in my gift to lose more than another 5-8kg”, even though I’ve lost (and maintained a loss of) 30kg through diet and exercise.

For some back story:
In 2020 I weighed ~121kg. I’m 165cm and 34f.

I lost most of 30kg six years ago, and maintained that loss. I had been going to the gym 4x a week with a trainer.

I was eating 1600cals/day, with 120g+ protein, and under 60g fat (no gallbladder), and at least 30g fibre. I had been doing GVT at home with 5kg dumbbells.

Dietitian suggested I eat 1900cals for a few months, and to aim for 130g protein. I restarted a “proper” exercise routine (PPL split, and 2x a week swims). I dropped a ~2.5kg in three months, mostly fat. I’m now ~92kg.

In our next appt, he said that it “may not be in my gift to lose more than another 8kg max”.

He then said to drop my cals down to 1650-1750, and 110g protein.

Does this sound normal? Or should I get a second opinion?
