Hi there, as the title suggests, over the past few months; ive been trying to lose weight but im unable too, instead ive gained a couple pounds. In january my weight was 134 pounds.
Lately, i have not been feeling good about how my body has started to look, and i want to improve and prevent before it gets out of hand, and turn into something much worse.
In 2020, ive suffered from an eating disorder which caused me to lose nearly 65 pounds in just 3-4 months, and the least i have weighed was 90 pounds, which wasn’t healthy at all.
I cannot go to the gym as of now, so i would prefer at home workouts without weights. I cannot do heavy workouts as i have dislocated my knee in the past. If, youve any suggestions or ways you can help me out through to reach my goal, it would be really helpful.
My desired weight is 105 pounds (48 kgs).

Bf and I live together 2 year relationship and have been living together the majority of that time. He has a 13f daughter. 50/50 custody but she tends to be here more often than at BM's as BM works M-F 9-5, and lives in a bad part of the city, so if daughter is going to be alone for the day BF makes her stay here and BM is fine with it. (BM is also HCBM and refuses to take daughter more than the minimum.. I know, sad).
To paint the full picture -

• I moved into BF's home. So this isn't our shared home where we both own it or something. However I pay him some $ per month to go towards mortgage.
• Daughter is a clingy teenager. She is needy and frequently deploys attention-seeking behavior. So instead of retreating to her room she will oftentimes come pester me about things and get on my ass about what's for dinner, what are the weeks plans, what about next years plans, oh and this is something new she learned how to do with her hair... yada yada yada ..... (I think she does this because she is a little emotionally neglected- not to say bf isn't a good parent but just given the dynamic of being shuffled around house to house, parents work a lot, kid is alone a lot... you get it).
• This is my first relationship with a child so it's been hard for me to figure out the dynamic.. I'm also very introverted and work a stressful job... so I do a lot of NACHO parenting tactics which bf seems to be iffy with how he feels about that. When I retreat away from daughter to be alone he sometimes takes it the wrong way. But daughter has expressed to him how much she loves me so that helps. All in all we're in a weird gray area of I still don't really understand the role bf wants me to be around her.

(I posted semi frequently last few days so if this sounds familiar - hi again, new problem!).
This AM bf did "warn" me that, considering her softball season is over, and summer vacation coming up anyway, I need to expect that she is going to be here a lot more often. (During softball she would stay at bf's mom's house virtually all of the time because she lived right by where they did softball and such- ugh it was so nice I hate to say LOL).
Bf told me "I just want to make sure you're ok with it and don't feel like a babysitter or something as you might have her a lot more often considering I usually work nights now".
To be 100% honest I would've said something along the lines of "Actually, it's not ok, she is very annoying when you're not here especially to keep her in line, you know I don't discipline her, so I prefer she isn't alone with me"
However, I didn't say this. Because I feel so guilt-ridden given, again, this is not MY home - and if I weren't in the picture daughter would be here alone anyway when BF is at work. So I feel like I have to deal with it or move out. BF has more than enough on his plate.
But I did tell him he has to streamline the grocery shopping situation and having her dinners planned as that is a huge annoyance to me when she comes to me and asks me what's for dinner after I get home from work. Bf said thats fine. But I still feel dread over the summer approaching... this happened last yr too but she wound up going to FL with her mom for a month to see extended family, so it wasn't for nearly as long a time.
Do I put up with it? Since this isn't my house?? Or make bf make other arrangements? Idk what the other arrangements would be - go to bf's mom's house (which I do not want her to do, I feel bad "dumping" her there for bf's mom to handle, she has helped more than enough) or BM but that is very unlikely and likely to stir drama.

Thinking about PCSing to Hawaii if im able to get it. Been to Korea, Germany now 4 years nearly and looking to go to Hawaii for the experience. The “ island sickness “ won’t really bother me because im a bit of an introvert and would probably spend my free time at the gym or fishing there, walking my dog on the beach etc…
I looked online at the average cost of food and im curious what is the difference between buying food on the economy vs buying food at the PX in Schofield Barracks? And also what is the rate for BAH out there if you want to live off base? Or is it better to live with on post housing?

before ppl question i lost both parents n inherited a duplex and an apartment from adoptive 'grandparents' they are fully paid off. duplex was built back in 1940s/1950s i believe. i live on 1 side of the duplex thats a 3/2 and the other 2/1 at 2k right now. my credit card has tanked at about 400, i have nearly 20k in debt
since i live on 1 side of the duplex, i then charge 2k for the other side and 2k for the apt so im making 4k a month in real estate and i make about 40k salary, after taxes and 401k i make about 1k a paycheck
my big expenses include: property taxes which is about 12k for my duplex and 3k for the apt. the HOA fees for the apt increased due to special assessment so altogether its about $500 for just HOA
i really want to do renovations so i can move out of my unit thats 3 bedrooms n at the least move to my unit next door thats 2/1 but in between the duplex i need to redo 2 kitchens and 3 bathrooms before renting my side out.
an option im considering is essentially making this a triplex and living in my backhouse thats roughly 1000 sq. ft plus i have a casita where id put my tools and small home gym
that way i can charge about ~2500k a unit, live in a smaller space since im alone anyway and still have the apartment
however being that my credit is awful, its probably unlikely i can get a HELOC or any type of credit/loan against my home value even though its fully paid off
i really dont want to sell my apartment, pay taxes on the sale for the full amoun, and then put that equity into the duplex and anything remainder in stocks/bonds most likely
then again, the apartment after taxes and everything is giving me about 15k in profits a year so im not sure if it is worth selling considering HOAs will most likely increase due to the surfside incident
my wish is to be able to get a credit line approved or the money to renovate the duplex by end of year, so that next year and moving fwd i dont have to worry about things falling apart or breaking. so that i can also increase my margins obviously as well and move out of the unit that should be making me the most money, considering the condition i cant bring myself to have new tenants move into such an outdated place
Please give me any tips as i really dont have anyone to confide or ask these type of questions to, please also let me know if u have any detailed questions if i missed some important details, and sorry for the long post.
Thanks for your advice

I (28M) recently started dating my current girlfriend (26F) about two months ago or so, and she’s my first official girlfriend after my previous long term relationship ended about a year ago. I have talked to some girls between now and then, always with the intention of ending up in a long term relationship, but none of them have worked out for various reasons, and my girlfriend is the first girl I felt deeply emotional enough toward and confident about that I knew I had to make it official. And there are so, so many positive qualities that my girlfriend has. Enough that until now I have been able to handle some behavior that I would normally consider red-flag behavior. But it has recently become a bit too much for me, especially since I’ve communicated with her about it and she promised to try to fix some of these issues, but I haven’t felt like she’s really made any progress with them, and I have been stressed out because of it.
She is very controlling, especially with my communication habits. I am a really communicative person, and I’m always open for texting or calling when I can. But I’m not always stuck to my phone. Some of the things she has gotten upset at me for are not letting her know when I go somewhere and do something (like going to the gym, or going shopping outside, or even just going on a long walk around), especially if it deviates from my normal routine. I’ve compromised on this and I’ve told her I don’t mind letting her know when I go to and from the gym (an all male gym, mind you, right down the street).
She’s also gotten upset at me for not answering the phone and calling her back 15 minutes later. I was playing a game and my phone is always set to silent for my own reasons, mostly that it’s not good for my phone to go off at work with the job that I have.
She’s gotten mad at me for accidentally falling asleep before texting goodnight, even though I do that nearly every single night. She also gets upset when I don’t text her good morning as soon as I wake up. This happened this morning, even though I texted her good morning. It was just a little later than usual because I was rushed and not in a great mood this morning. I sent her a very nice good morning text and she was still upset.
She’s also gotten upset at me for seeming “too cold” over text, when I’ve felt like I’ve been texting normally. Recently she got really upset that I take my phone into the bathroom with me, and I really pushed back on this one because I don’t find it to be an issue. But in the end I decided it was better just to leave my phone out when I go.
There’s also the fact that my current two close friends are female (I recently moved countries and this is just the way it’s turned out. I want more close male friends but haven’t met many yet). She is fine with me going over to their houses, at least she said, but she gets really emotional and withdrawn when I’m over there for too long, and once asked me to send pictures to make sure I wasn’t sitting on the couch too close to my friend, which I didn’t do. And bear in mind that I maybe hang out with these friends once a month for a few hours at most.
She’d explained that she had a very long term boyfriend in the past that cheated on her and that this is why she’s this way. Also that she comes from a culture (different from mine) where cheating is super common and it’s more normal to be worried about these things.
It’s just that I have been trying my utmost best to be a good boyfriend these past couple of months because I really want this to work out, but honestly it is excessive and I feel untrusted despite doing nothing wrong, and despite my own efforts to compromise. Is there anything I can do?

Hey, I grew up as an overweight kid until the age 17, when I started my weight loss journey I was 293 pounds (I was 6’ 3”), and since I used to play a lot of sport I got used to eating those calories burned. I lost around 50 pounds in one yr and started hitting the gym which I had a cutting phase and bulking phase, and now I’m at around 14 percent body fat and weighing 198 pounds. Now, to the main question, in the beginning I was able to go on months without getting tired and cheating on my diet, but now that I want to cut down the last 5 pounds, I’m really struggling and can’t focus on my diet. I’m kinda tired of tracking the macros and eating healthy and restricting myself cuz I’ve been doing it for near 2 yrs. Since the last month that I started my cutting phase I lost only about 1 pound only, and nothing much. I want to know what I should change to just be consistent with my diet. FYI, I’m not following a keto or diet anything I’m just tryna be in caloric deficit.

With axew comm day coming up, I'm looking for places to catch a decent amount of axew, but there isn't a high concentration of gyms or pokestops near me. Anyone have any suggestions for a good place? Also, looking for a community too!

This is an odd one, but I have been taking sertraline now for 3 weeks and having some pretty strange problems. Currently taking 25mg daily, originally it was supposed to be 50mg but decided to start low and build up rather than just charging head first.
I have worked out for 10 years consistently but the last 3 weeks have been nearly impossible to motivate myself to do anything. All I do is sit in my chair, I know should be moving but I literally have no energy to do so and feel like I am living in a haze. Even my work is lower quality and motivation to work is zero (I own my own company so I don't get sick pay).
I have tried taking the medication in the morning / night and makes little difference.
Before I started the medication I could push myself to go to gym and have a good workout 5 days a week regardless of mood. Is this expected behavior of taking antidepressants ? I am tempted to just quit them as if this is how it's like to live on them id rather be physically healthy than mentally.

This is a long one. TLDR below.
I (24f) recently moved to an area near family. I work from home and haven’t made the effort to meet new people so I’ve been pretty lonely. 2 weeks ago I just decided to go to a bar to check it out and maybe meet some people. I did, and at the end of the night I met this guy (32m) on a bench outside. I was immediately drawn to him. He was calm, kind, quirky, and seemed to be very intelligent based on his vocabulary and the topics we talked about. He’s got a decent job, humble life, and even good looks (for me, at least). We talked for hours and went on a date the next day, and several more over the next 2 weeks. Each date has gone pretty well and usually ends with us talking until sunrise. Sexual chemistry has been great too.
Needless to say, we fell for each other… HARD. Always texting and sharing music throughout the day.
He works in the lively part of the small-ish town and knows pretty much everyone. I’ve met many of his friends and can see myself being friends with most of them too. Our dates are always in town and I love the area so he’s been showing me around, and showing me off to people.
Now I think I have the ick and it keeps growing more and more. It started when Guy started calling himself an old man and said he says that to people all the time. The list just keeps getting longer: he has this anxious energy that makes me feel unsafe/anxious, a high-pitched laugh that echos in my head, is always cold (we’re in FL, always asking to go outside to “warm [his] weary old man bones”), teeth never seem to be brushed, always has dry skin flakes in his haifacial hair, picks the dry skin off of his lips fairly obviously, and I noticed today that he also picks his face but out of nervousness and I find it disgusting (picking has always been an ick of mine). I also don’t feel like he could protect me since he has a scrawny look to him.
I feel bad for Guy, though. His past relationships sound awful (abuse, generally being taken advantage of) because he falls so hard that he will do anything for his s/o. I really do admire his intelligence and willingness to help. I want to help him through his (many) issues but also feel like it’s not my job, and if I continue dating him I might just be making things worse.
He tells me many times that I am too good for him and he always wonders why I am still choosing to date him. I do know I can do better, but do have genuine feelings for him and we connect on such a deep level.
My intuition tells me to stop seeing him, but I do really like most of everything about him. He says I make him the happiest he’s been in a long time. Then, the selfish side of me doesn’t want to ruin the friends I’ve made through him or have to start avoiding the area I’ve come to love.
TLDR: been dating this guy for 2 weeks and we have a great connection, mentally and physically, but his anxiousness makes me anxious and I’ve got the ick for many reasons. His past is full of hurt and says I make him happy.
I just don’t know what to do.

One of the greatest things about Brazilian jiu jitsu is that it is so decisive. The submission in particular creates very clear winners and losers. Tapping out is a definitive admission of defeat and if you don't have good defense you are going to be doing a lot of tapping. Listed below are four defensive rules that will see you getting submitted a lot less in the gym. jiu jitsu classes near me
1) Face Your Opponent
This one might seem obvious but it is one of the fundamental rules that is most commonly broken by those new to Brazilian jiu jitsu. Always face your opponent. Even if your opponent mounts you and you feel as if your arms or face are exposed face your opponent. What commonly happens is that a person will panic when they find themselves in bad position and will turn onto their stomach in an attempt to escape. If you find yourself mounted or being held in side position make sure to turn into your opponent while you attempt to push their hips below yours.
2) Good Posture
Good posture, especially from inside of your opponent's guard is one of the best ways to protect yourself while training Brazilian jiu jitsu. The basic position from inside your opponent's guard is called base position. Here you want to sit with your knees wide, feet together, hips down and keeping a straight back. What you are trying to do here is prevent your training partner from breaking you down into their guard or sitting up and bumping you over. family martial arts classes
3) Stay Tight
Staying tight, as it’s referred to in Brazilian jiu jitsu, will protect you from many submissions. Staying tight can mean a lot of thing but mostly what it means is that when you find yourself in bad position that you ball up. A good way to implement this rule is to remember to pull your limbs close to your body. Elbows should be tucked into your sides, knees tucked into your chest and chin held down to your sternum.
4) Find Your Comfort Zone
The rules listed above are good rules when it comes to simple body positioning. However, finding your comfort zone will do more to improve your defense than any other single approach. Finding your comfort zone means finding a position where you feel comfortable or safe. This could be on your back with your opponent in your guard or any other position. Wherever it may be, work on being very good at this position and have a variety of techniques you use to get back to this point. Use this position anytime you start to tire or feel like you are losing your composure. brazilian jiujitsu near me
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu boosts confidence in your ability to protect yourself and in your self-reliance. The techniques and tactics taught in class help to prepare you for any type of altercation you may come across in life where you must defend yourself. For those not interested in professionally taking up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, classes won't center around teaching you how to fight, but will rather teach you how to protect yourself if you absolutely had to -- and how to succeed in doing so. Knowing that you aren't dependent on anyone else for your safety is empowering and will make you more of an independent person, helping to build a better you.

Here are a few things to think about when booking a rental property for your next vacation:

1. 📷

• Price - Since money is of the essence during a vacation, it is important to set a budget for accommodations, and then narrow the selection to vacation rentals that meet the budget.
• Accommodation Size - Since this depends on the number of people in the group, it is also an important consideration. The layout of the rooms is also significant, since it must be suitable for families, groups of friends, or solo travellers.Larger homes or cabins are a better fit for groups, while cozy condos or cottages are just right for a couple.
• Location - You should prioritize finding vacation homes in a location that is convenient for the activities you want to do while away. You may easily visit local beaches, ski resorts, stores, and restaurants on foot from a property that is situated in a convenient central location. On the other side, if you’d rather avoid the crowds, you might choose a more rural property that offers more seclusion.
