Subtle glute gains!🍑

I made a post here the other day detailing my progress and talking about my experience with Zoloft and weight gain. I wanted to share specifically my glute gains because I’m very happy with this amount of progress in 10/12 weeks!

I’m 25F 5’1 and 108lbs, down from 115lbs since June. I’ve been consistently eating around 1500-1700 calories a day, focusing a bit more on protein (not intensely), and having days here and there where I eat around 2000-2200cal. I use dumbbells and kettle bells at home doing a very simple strength training routine! All in all I’ve been really happy with the results I’ve seen because I don’t feel like I’m pushing myself THAT hard. I do all of my workouts at home and again I’m only doing that 2-3x a week. I eat sweet treats every night too, I just work my calories around that and I have found it to be sustainable and I don’t feel deprived! Again, a huge factor to this was tapering off Zoloft because for me it increased my appetite like crazy. If anyone has any questions I am happy to share!

Stressing over calories

Hi guys! I’m 25F, 5’1 and 108.5lbs. Since June I have gotten down from 114lbs from consistently strength training 2-3x a week at home, going for walks whenever I can, and I was eating around 17-1800 calories for a while. I’ve noticed a bigger and quicker drop in my weight since going down to 1500 calories for about 6 weeks now, and once a week I’ll have a day where I eat around 2000, and then sometimes I’ll eat under around 13-1400 (not on purpose it’s just happened that way). Now that I’m 108lbs I feel really happy with that number, but don’t look quite as defined as I’d hope so I’m continuing to strength train and prioritize protein. My main concern is that the past week or so I’ve eaten around 16-1800 calories a day and I’m starting to feel really stressed about what would realistically make me gain weight. I have no idea how much I should be eating, I want to stay at the same weight at least if not around 105lbs. I don’t want to feel disordered but I’m just stressed! Thanks so much everyone.

I’ve been blessed‼️

These are my favorite chicken patties (I don’t like/use the sauce so just the chicken itself) and they always come with 2 but this one came with 4. FOUR!!!!

What’s happening to my pinky nail?

I have worked so long and hard growing out my nails and on a nail health journey for 8 months now, and my nails have never been healthier. I only use regular lacquer, PVB-free base coats, and religiously oil with jojoba oil. This is looking like the side of my nail is separating from the plate!? I’m stressing because I don’t know if something is wrong that I’m not thinking of!?

My polish ALWAYS lifts 😢

I’ve tried everything from double cleaning the nail with acetone before painting, not using acetone at all, I do extensive cuticle care every time, I’ve tried wrapping the tips before and after painting the nail plate, and I use a clean up brush in acetone every time. I am at my wits end with this, this is only my second day into wearing my mani! I’m just so frustrated because I feel like I’m wasting products for my manicure to lift after just a day or 2. Please help!

Products used are
1 coat Essie Strong Start
3 coats Ocean Water by Rogue Lacquer
1 coat Cuticula Limitless QDTC

First time trying these in 9 years being vegan

I’m sorry, why are these the best frozen dessert I’ve ever had?? I have known these were vegan for a couple years but I never tried them because I personally prefer a very slutty treat, and I was worried these would just taste ‘healthy’ or not good enough. But when I tell yall it tastes EXACTLY like a snickers ice cream bar, it literally does. It’s so fucking good!!!! I got these at Target by the way and I think they had a 2/$10 deal too.

Black Widow help PLS

I am desperately trying to figure out if I should get Black Widow or not. I have Emily de Molly Fiery Attraction and Cracked Drugstore Chocolate, but I am desperate for a deep, dark blood red magnetic. If anyone has any input on rather this pulls orange, warm, or overall just doesn’t love it, please let me know!!

Im literally so happy

If anyone like me misses those Annie’s vegan Mac and cheese cups all those years ago, I’m glad to say these are now available in store at Target (idk where else), and they are even more delicious than I thought!! If anyone has any tips to not make it boil over every time in the microwave I’d appreciate that lol.

I love these cart posts-my turn!

Hi everyone! This is my first time participating in the Mooncat sale since getting into polish. I currently have a lot of magnetics in my cart and I’m wondering if anyone has any opinions on those? I’m specifically going back on forth on Devil’s Ivy, Black Widow, and Taipan Venom. I love the idea of all of them, but not sure how the actual payoff is. Any advice is so appreciated!

Has anyone else stayed for their child in a relationship that doesn’t work? My relationship is beyond repair and he’s the only person I’ve ever been with. But my 4 year old disabled and special needs child is everything and my entire world. I have had panic attacks every day thinking about not seeing him half the time (we would do 50/50). I am 25F and don’t want to live like this but it feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest when I think about not seeing him everyday. He has JUST started to talk in the last couple of months and now goes on and on about how much he loves his mommy and daddy and I’m torn to absolute pieces and broken thinking about leaving. Please can anyone offer me insight??? I feel like I’m dying..

I currently have SIX nails with silk wrap patches on them🥲 they’re all right at the same place in the nail bed. I’ve never managed to get them this long yet at the same time they keep getting those little tears/cracks! The patches honestly work fine but the problem is that I change my nails every 3-4 days and the acetone usually removes the patch so it’s just a lot. I’m not emotionally tied to my long nails but ugh. AND HOW DO I STOP THESE DAMN TEARS!? Thanks in advance 😭
