I'm going to the gym today! I'm doing a full body workout. I'm still on baby weights but we all start somewhere.

Today is another full body day. I can't wait for my muscles to start showing but I know it will take at least a month.

How much protein are you eating?
No cardio?
>>21832
I've been getting into it these past few months (I was too heavy before) with the Couch to 5K program. It's getting to the point where it is enjoyable.

I've been kicking ass in the gym lately and it's starting to show in my arms. I'm happy but I want more! I still don't look like I workout yet.

>>22322
I do not keep track of my protein intake. I try not to eat too much because I'm trying not to get big. I do cardio every day I'm at the gym (that's the 30 min incline walk), HR gets up to like 170-180 usually

you can take both ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the same day as it affects organs differently, and also you can stagger your medication doses so there is less chance to be affected by pain. i did this for post-wisdom teeth removal though, so im not sure how it is long term if you have monthly periods, but maybe it could reduce how those medications affect different organs. just a suggestion as you have both of those pills already. definitely look into it before taking advice though.

tea helps but i think that's bc the heat makes the body relax a bit more. when i had tea i usually had something calming like mint or green.

>>22304
(Turmeric) ginger tea helps a lot for me. I must drink a whole goddamn ginger plant every month.

>>22304
>>22338
Oh, also:
For some women, light physical activity is known to help.
Dark chocolate because of the magnesium.
Apparently orgasms for some people?

raspberry leaf tea helped when I had horrible periods! I started on bc a couple years ago and my periods last like 3 days, are light, and involve basically no cramping/bloating so I don't need the tea any more though. would recommend looking into going on hormonal bc if you're OK with that

It honestly looks uncomfortable and like it would ride up your ass, the stockings are nice I guess but I would rather wear fabric ones than the ones scene in lingerie

>Does any woman actually like lingerie
Yes, I think lingerie on other people looks nice.
>Does any woman like wearing lingerie
Yeah, that too.
I like wearing lingerie when it's cute and comfortable. Same with pyjamas, hair clips, cute pencils, phone wallpapers, whatever, if it's cute and causes no discomfort, that's all the reason I need.
All a matter of taste and mood. If I wanna feel fancy, I'll wear lace, if I'm more in a mood for sth cute, I'll wear my underwear set with little bows on it. I also have silk underwear which is so fancy and comfy, I should probably buy more of it… Whether I put that much time in picking out the perfect underwear for the day depends entirely on how much time and money I have for little things like that though. I usually just wear whatever. I probably have way too many socks but I love them.
>g-strings
I've tried out a tanga once and decided to never wear that again, too uncomfy. No way I'd wear something similar that looks even more uncomfortable.

>>22170
>(idk if he buy them for a girl in the past or whatever)
You're more graceful than I would be about it.

I have been unable to pick out why the hentai outfits drew his attention. They don't flatter a woman at all, just look "unique"? One of them looks like the Borat swimsuit, I hate it. Some of them he showed me were some hentai volleyball video game he played as a kid. Like why did artist decide these were nice?

>>21930
I loveee this kind of lingerie. It's so pretty and I would honestly wear corsets/gowns like this out if men didn't exist. Hate any kind of thin string underwear though.

>>22292
this might be a good idea but i think some of it relates to hormone balancing, no?
but they like men anyways so they’re probably giving the few women that come across bad tips to purposely masculinize them kek

im not sure how healthy drinking canola oil is nona

the muscle thing potentially works but i can only see it having results if you already had muscles built up there and then stopped exercising. over time, the muscles will become looser and your body will convert some of the cells.

a better idea might be topical estrogen cream, you can get it on amazon. some use it for acne.

>>22292
that stuff works because roidbros spike their t levels with anabolic steroids. when your body overloads on testosterone, it breaks down into estrogen. the same doesn't work the other way however.

>>22319
I stopped exercizing there for a while and have started again kinda accidentally because I only hit bench and squats(poor coordination and it feels badass lol). think I might be seeing some results. thanks for the plug about amazon by the way. mad appreciate it

>>22319
>>22319
it’s called spirolactone, right?

There was a reddit just for women trying to grow a bra size or two I was lurking before I got robo-banned. Some of the girls used breast pumps because it stimulates the breast similar to baby suckling (but if you dont have a baby then no milk is made or something idk).

I was also looking into the estrogen cream thing too because I think thats what MTF use.

Feeling better a month later but I have no clue how much the Mag to be credited tbh.

I take vitamin b and vitamin c. Also prescription iron suppliments.

>>21880
B12 and iron are a necessity (too much monthly blood loss, vegetarian diet).
Magnesium in case of insomnia, and also for dreams (it has tryptophan and L-theanine with it).
Probiotics.
Vitamins (especially D) during winter.

In the past, I have played with weird stuff in the hope of lessening the blood flow, but it just disrupted cycles and actually increased it lol.

>>20827
NMN is a gamechanger, literally no supplement ever works for me for making me feel energised but this stuff is like magic.
Why Glutathione and not NAC ?

Also to add, I am a bit of a supplement freak. I been monitoring my macros/micro nutrient intake for years but diet alone really can't fill in all the gaps unless I have like 50% more of the calories for a girl my height.

Over time I introduced:
Morning: Iron polypeptide + Vit C
Midday: Vit D + Mg + Methyl folate + Biotin
Evening: Algae Omega 3 + Vit E + Calcium + Vit C again

You get good at swallowing them without tasting (I just copied how they make cats/dogs take pills by putting it in the very back of the tongue).

There’s no way this does anything

Yes, this worked for my eyelashes.

Anyone here successfully deal with persistent crust?

>>22168
It doesn't. It makes them look nice. If you use a lot of drying products, it kind of protects them, so they might look better. Any other cooking oil would have the same effect.

How do you feel about the orbital fat loss?

This is genuinely really physically bad for your health.

>>22331
it can be but it seems like much of it is safe but im not sure about major lifelong complications or disabilities being common

I don't think it's worth stressing yourself out. i have pretty bad ones on my legs but eventually it gets hot enough outside that i stop giving a fuck and just wear the shorts. There is a lot of societal pressure for people to just mind their own business so even if they notice things like that they aren't gonna go through the awkwardness of bringing it up with you. I've only ever had like 2 people mention it to me in a solidarity type way which is still pretty awkward but not rude or anything.

i have scars on my inner upper thighs, so not very noticable.
I make sure to exfoliate them more as part of my shower routine and used lemon and baking soda when they were pinker. A tattoo (whether temporary or not) is something i have been considering, probably like a robot/cyborg looking body tattoo.

mine are almost four years old now and they're still very noticeable. i'm considering co2 laser even though it's extremely expensive.
thankfully, my boyfriend doesn't mind my scars. i remember being so scared to tell him, but he ended up just asking me what led to me hurting myself and told me he's happy i'm doing better.

I don't think about it. i have my ex's name carved into my arm because i have a personality disorder. did that about a year ago and its still there now. i think people started treating me worse after i did it, but what am i going to do about that? i will probably get some tattoos eventually

>>19908
I wear some bracelets or a kerchief to cover them if I'm at the doctor, work or any other place where I don't want it to affect how they treat and see me. But with friends and family, idc.
Sometimes, I just like to look at them. Makes me feel more at ease, oddly enough, like, "things aren't so bad now, things were a lot worse back then, I've made it through way tougher times".
There was so much stress in my life back then, like regular dissociation and later frequent breakdowns and all that, so many things going wrong in my life… Wild to think about. I'm pretty chill now, wouldn't even think of doing that cutting stuff again, but damn, would I love to tell my past self how much better things can get…

>Does anyone else feel like foundation is a total scam? Italways ends up making my face look so much heavier even thpugh I apply it lightly. I also hate when young girls slather their acne with foundation. The texture is still visible, it seems like a waste.

Your face will always be sweating buckets when wearing foundation

>>20804
stop schizoposting

I posted before about wearing warm-toned makeup on my cool-toned face… Although I liked it I realized it does clash with my skin so I'm going back to cool tones now that I've used up stuff like blush and lipstick.

I want to buy dark lipstick for fall but constantly reapplying it during the day is such a hassle…

>>22306
go for a lipstain+ exfoliate your lips and then put a matte long wear-lipstick on it, wait for it to really absorb then put on a fuller coverage gloss. Then again, I go for a more xiaohongshu gradient look so it applies more to that look

I think most women are beautiful but I do particularly notice girls that look healthy (hair, skin, nails, weight, etc) and carry themselves well. I find it weird when girls wear low cut tops and stuff though cause that makes me think they're stupid and annoying.

I love women that move in a very sensual way. Like hips swaying and all that. There is a specific way to it and not everybody can pull it of without practise. Also love hand movements.
