/hb/ - Health & Beauty

You look great nona, I don't really think you look overweight. Unless you are having difficulty with movement, health etc., I don't think you need to change your diet very much. Losing weight isn't a problem, but you could probably gain some and still look fine. I really want to emphasize that you just look midsize and perfectly ok, wouldn't call you skinny but definitely not chubby either. Judging by your arms, you are maybe just a different body shape with narrow hips/chest but wider waist? Also, both cardio and weight training are great for losing weight. Packing on (light) muscle helps you burn fat. Cardio does burn calories directly, but weight lifting helps you build muscle (which burns more calories at rest than fat, so you eventually don't have to do so much cardio).

You wouldn't happen to be asking boys online to be honest about whether you are fat or not, would you? Maybe 4chan boys?

ask me how I can tell.

>>22297
How can you tell.

>>22204
leg exercises are the best imo
it consumes so much more energy than the rest because legs are supposed to carry our entire weight around

>>22201
your larp isn't fooling anyone

>>22299
because you are a normal-looking woman who thinks she is fat. I used to do the same thing, and it took YEARS to realize they gave me body dysmorphia. You are beautiful Nona, don't let yourself get bullied into thinking you are ugly.

does my gym routine look ok? i've been seeing results, I think my arms are getting a little bigger than I would like though so I'm doing high weight/low rep sets.

>monday: leg day
>30 min incline walk (3 mph, 13% incline)
>3x8 RDL
>3x8 glute thrust
>3x6 leg extensions (don't want my quads getting too big)

>tuesday
>usually a rest day, will try to get my 10k steps in though

>wednesday
>30 min pilates routine

>thursday: pull day

is it just to get toned and towards weight loss/weight balance? if so this is not a bad routine. its very cardio focused but if you dont muscle growth then it probably will meet your goal. id recommend more for your push day (i do cable flys and dips with chest press) but, again, it depends on what you want to achieve (weight loss, muscle growth, toning, endurance, etc)

>>22261
yes, looking for a "pilates body" lol. want to lose as much fat as possible but still have muscle tone underneath.

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.

Do you have other darker skin folds on your body? Like your neck or armpits? You may have a condition like diabetes or POS and need medical help. I hope that's not the case.

Synthesizing these, letting dick cheese ferment would bleach their dick.

>>22048
Partial agree here, if OP has a pale complexion, the thicker skin looks much starker than it actually is. Still, since body image is all perception and mindset, get it bleached if that'll help you not think about it anymore, nona

aren't certain parts of your skin (like your armpits and crotch) supposed to be a bit darker than the rest of your body?

>>22084
>zebramaxxin
lmao

>>22052
>>22093
Yes
Some parts are supposed to be darker like nipples and the anus and this is normal because the skin tissue is different from the rest of the body

Don't internalize porn beauty standards ffs

>>22084
Fuck that

Luckily I don't have that many so they aren't super noticeable but I cover them with jewelry (on my wrists)

applying glycolic acid a few times a day and then thick moisturizer/bio oil/cocoa butter. and keep them out of the sun cause it'll make them much worse

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.

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

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…

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.

sometimes уоu want tо show оff your lеgs, nоt the entirety of your crotch.

So you view women as birthing machines? Interesting…

>>21946
??? dudes can create children

i feel it. my family has a huge history of both cancer and depression, both sides. i'm just not gonna keep it going.

>>21943
As a person whose entire life revolves around the fact that I have children (because I love it and chose this), I am glad that you were able to choose the future that is right for you. Good for you Nona. <3

>>21949
Lmao talk about lack of inner awareness from that poster.

>>21943
Couldn't be me. I come from a long line of wives and mothers.

I've been craving ice cream which usually hapens when I diet a little too hard so I had 100 extra calories at lunch instead.

nonas does walking actually reduce body fat at all, despite being in a pretty harsh deficit it seems like walking around has done nothing but make my calves bigger……

>>22175
How much are you walking? Walking doesn'tuse up that many calories but it does add up.

finally got a doctor that would give me ozempic for my pcos and have lost 20kilo
never even think about food anymore and it cured my pmdd too
kinda crazy

There's something in chocolate and the junk you used to consume that you're missing nutritionally and its messing up your metabolism
