Vw go kart body

Hello, I am 28 years old, I live in the UK (Yorkshire) and I have always been interested in older women. They are more seductive, flirtatious and have body awareness. I am a masseur and I am looking for a woman for yoni massage and getting to know each other. I don't go to clubs, so where can I meet a mature woman open to new experiences? Any online groups, active classes, or places where you can connect? Thank you in advance for all your tips and ideas. All the best, people

What Ideas do you guys have for board themes for maybe the next game.
Toy Dream is one of my favorite boards of all time and I love the aesthetic, so my Idea was a board called Toy Town and it would be very similar to Ribbon Road from Mario Kart as it takes place in a bedroom but there would be lots of different toys all around and covering the board.
I also love the idea of a board where the main feature is a waterfall and the board is split between a top and bottom section with different events and ways to swap between the sections. It would cool if you could go behind the waterfall aswell. The overall area could be inside a jungle.
I would love your ideas on what cool themes they could do.

Hello there!
I would need some new insights/opinion about this topic from people who also practice spirituality/meditation and are familiar with this spiritual concept. I'd like to present my own insight first and then gather different opinions, it would personally be very helpful to me.
Things that are up for discussion (and also my own insights after practicing meditation for a long time and learning from different spiritual teachings) - feel free to comment on them:

1. If existence/ego/our bodies is an illusion then why don't we just stop drinking or eating...? It's all an illusion anyway.
2. Since everything is an illusion and nothing is real including psychical existence, then anyone who is a serial killer is not responsible for what they've done or the victims family they ruined with their actions at all.
3. I've read different insights on this same topic from various spiritual masters. While some completely deny our psychical form and teach us to destroy/remove our ego and to forget ourselves as a separate self, others teach that the outer and inner are part of the same whole, and that one is just as real as the other - claiming that that's the true wholeness. And denying one or the other either leads to material or spiritual poverty.
4. Down below I'll copy some quotes from a spiritual master that's speaks about this particular dynamic.
5. My own opinion is that not every teaching made in spirituality in realization will always stay the same or can be applied in current reality/developed society or in the upcoming future. We are made to evolve in psychical and spiritual realm.
6. What is your own interpretation about completely removing your ego or denying it existence? Can we use it as a tool, is it an essential part for everyday living, our ego has its own function in our family, work, and so on.. Is it automatically wrong to have it and should we deny it existence?
7. Do you know any quotes (from any spiritual master) connected to the topic, that do not completely condemn the ego and rather describes it as a useful tool for daily functioning and living in society, while also using it as a part of our individual roles in society?

Here are the quotes from an enlightened master about the outer vs inner:
"I teach you the whole man. The inner is real – as real as the outer. And the outer is as significant as the spiritual. You have to attain to a certain balance, a balance in which both are equally complementary to each other. This has not happened up to now. But unless this happens, there is no possibility for any humanity to exist in the world."
“And a mobility…just as you come out of your home and go back inside the home, your coming out of your being and going into your being should be as simple as that.”
“Whenever you are needed in the market, you should be in the market with your totality. The market cannot destroy your soul. And anybody who has preached to the world to renounce it, was against humanity. Neither does going inward, being in a meditative silence, take away anything from the outside world. You don’t have to condemn it, and you don’t have to declare it illusory. It should have been so simple to see, that I am amazed why thousands of years have passed, and still it is not a recognized fact around the whole world.”
"The outer cannot exist without the inner. Neither can the inner exist without the outer. They are both two sides of the same coin."
“I cannot believe it – if the outside is unreal, whom are you teaching? If the outside world is unreal then what are you renouncing, where are you going? To the Himalayas? The Himalayas are as much outside as M.G. Market!”
"These two thousand years of slavery are not just an accident. The East was prepared for it. It has accepted it – what does it matter, in a dream, whether you are a master or a slave? What does it matter if in dream you are being served with delicious food or you are hungry?"
"Every day you need the outside food and every day you need the outside water, and still the outside is illusory?"
Feel free to share your own insights from your spiritual journey.
Much appreciated!

I've (M38 / 5'10 / 160 lbs) had (mild) COVID-19 three times so far, and everytime I get an increase in skipped heartbeats (PVC's + PAC's) that lasts for weeks / months after the initial infection. Before COVID I only had a few per month. Everytime I caught the virus, the frequency of the ectopics increased. Last week I had a few days with 100+ per day.
I have been to the cardiologist before, they say the PVC's + PAC's are benign and there is no sign of structural heart disease. I did not go to the docs after my latest infection and increase of ectopics though, but I assume that nothing structurally has changed in 1.5 years.
I read that antihistamines could work for long Covid and so I started taking ceterizine 10mg per day. A few days the palpitations decreased to almost zero. Only a handful here and there. I couldn't believe it. I stopped taking the ceterizine and 3 days later they came back. I started taking it again and 2 days later they decreased again to almost zero.
So it definitely seems as if the ceterizine is working. But my question is: Why?
Why could the ceterizine be helping? And is it just 'covering up' an underlying issue? Should I take the medicine long term, from now on? Or will it help my body with solving the underlying problems?
So in short: What could COVID-19 have caused, that lead to onset of frequent PVC's and PAC's, that the ceterizine is helping with? Histamine-intolerance? Vagus nerve inflammation? Myocarditits? Mast Cell Activation Syndrome?
I am just trying to make sense of it all and would like to know what is the best way forward from here. Thanks so much

Anybody have one or have any experience with this bike? I need a new hardtail with a l/xl frame and this looks like probably the best option I’ve seen just not familiar with Poseidon at all. The 130mm forks are what I’m liking about it most. I currently have a specialized fuse 6fattie and I love the 27.5x3.0 tires on it but I’m thinking about going to a 27x2.35 .. or possibly a 29’er … any body have experience with Poseidon bikes? I’ll be switching my cyc x1 pro gen4 and 72v battery over to the new bike as well so I’m wondering how the 2.35” tires will handle that also, anybody have previous experience with that? That’s one of the reasons I got the 27.5+ fuse 6+.. the wider tires handle the extra weight really well I just absolutely have to have a bigger frame bike, the small frame I have now is not livable lol

In a Celestialsapien arena, two alien figures are summoned to battle for the entertainment of the attending audience.
Rath, an Appoplexian, growls with contempt of the situation he's gotten himself into.
"Lemme tell ya something, Celestialsapien Council, and men and women and children of all ages! Rath does not like being summoned to fight in the middle of Sumo Slammers Seven!" the hulking tiger alien roars.
Blitzwolfer, a Lobean, bares his teeth as he snarls into a defiant howl. He sniffs at the air, and catches the scent of shame off of Rath. Shame masked with unyielding rage like a cheap, oppressive cologne. And he is positively wafting. Blitzwolfer crinkles his nose and furrows his brow at Rath.
"What? What?! What're you lookin' at, pup?! You got a problem with Rath?! Rath's ready to be your problem!" Rath rolls his shoulders with hostility.
"That mouth of yours is going to be your problem, buff boy!" Blitzwolfer lets out a challenging roar, getting into a crouching at-the-ready stance.
"Lemme tell ya somethin', Lobean wolf guy from Luna Lobo! Rath is gonna pummel you in the buff, and you're gonna eat your words in your mouth holes!" Rath spat.
BEGIN!
Blitzwolfer rushes on all fours, claws scraping at the arena floor and jaw hungrily hanging with killer intent. Rath charges with claws extended from his feisty paws.
Rath tackle slams into Blitzwolfer, roaring in his face. "Ursa Major Bodyslam!"
The two spin in the grapple, hurling each other across the arena with a hefty thud. Digging his claws in the floor, Rath charges with an angry grin, while his canine foe leaps aside on his legs. The Appoplexian staggers forward with his grab failed, while the Lobean scores a scratch across his back!
Rath roars, spinning on a foot to swing an arm claw first. He catches air as Blitzwolfer has already several feet leapt over him. He bares his teeth mockingly. Another charge at each other, leading into a clawed grapple!
Rath growls with strain, while Blitzwolfer sneers with his lips curling in a toothy grin. His muzzle splitting into quadruple lobes, he unleashes a harrowing sonic howl!
"DYAAAUGH-!" Rath screamed and recoiled his head back, and as he stumbled back, he scrambled his legs with Blitzwolfer falling atop him. A heavy kick launches the wolf into the wall with a loud slam!
Smacking his jowls together with a lick of his chops, Blitzwolfer rises up and charges again. Ears ringing, Rath can only right himself in time to orient his palm firmly on his foe's face. Swinging his free arm into the wolf's side, his leg strikes into the thinner, taut leg of his opponent.
"Lewodan Elbow Drop!" Rath slams his elbow straight down on Blitzwolfer upper torso. This earns a pained canine shout, and it further angers Rath.
"Now shut your trap!" Rath clamps over Blitzwolfer's maw, hands acting as a makeshift muzzle. Natural instinct kicks in, and the Lobean wriggles his head. Legs kick, and a clawed hand slashes at Rath's torso!
Grabbing hold on his thigh, his prehensile foot starts slashing his claws around before managing to kick the Appoplexian off!
Falling on his back, Rath staggers up and huffs with blinding rage. Blitzwolfer is grinning maliciously, egging him on to attack. He springs upward just as Rath charges, offsetting him and sending him tumbling into the wall. Having enough, Rath roars furiously. One final clash between the two.
Punches are swung from one to another! Their bulky chests make for large targets on each other, littered with scratches and scrapes! Eventually, Rath has him slammed into the wall, raining down body shots with his fists with the Lobean raising his arms to defend. Managing to catch one of Rath's fists, Blitzwolfer's claws begin to dig into his wrists with a growl that rises in fury.
Rath's angry face begins to turn to shock as Blitzwolfer pries his hands from him, chest heaving. Reeling behind the alien tiger into a full nelson, the Lobean's mighty spring legs launch the two into the air.
With a mighty howl at horrendously close proximity, the recoil violently sends Rath high above the air slamming into the floor! With his wolf foe landing claws first on his back, Rath is much too groggy and in pain to retaliate. Large, blue furred arms wrap around the Appoplexian's neck.
Stranglehold. Seconds pass, and a snap is heard.
"You talk too much," Blitzwolfer mocks as he stands upright.
K.O.

Do you spend a lot of your time day dreaming what life would be like with your perfect match? Would that life consist of lots of quality time spent together, shared hobbies, travelling together, supporting each other and sharing not just the good times? Are your passions a weird conglomerate of sciency and artsy topics? We might just be a match. No, this is not an infomercial.
What makes finding my match somewhat difficult i,0s that my personality is all over the place, I can't really be put into a box and I dream of finding someone I'm deeply compatible with. I have a PhD in physics/math and work in a related field, involving IT and programming. My take on life is rather critical, rational and I'm not religious. BUT I'm also very by morals, emotional in certain aspects and my biggest aspiration in life is having a happy, fulfilling relationship where we are inseparable, each others best friend and more. A soulmate sorta thing if you wish, even though souls obviously don't exist...right?
Soo what are my passions that we could hopefully share together? I have to get the cliché out of the way first, I'm really big on films/tv shows/video games/manga and some books. It's not just something I consume to overcome boredom though, I'm extremely interested in stories and the art of story telling. My tastes are varied and something that would be fun to discuss, some of the things I like:

• weird, obscure horror movies that sometimes make me wonder if anyone else on the planet has ever seen them (spoiler: yes they have). Also horror movies in general.
• "artsy, deeper" movies without bordering into pretentiousness, a line that is entirely subjective but I shall still defend as if an objective truth. Kubrick I really like, also Disney.
• big sucker for romantic comedies and enjoy some goofy comedies as well.
• mostly story driven, single player games, Life is Strange would be an example of a game that had a deeper impact on me, wowser.
• would enjoy getting into multiplayer games together, I consider it a fantastic way to bond. Mario Kart (GoldenEye?) should be obligatory for a couple, friendly trash talking included (or not so friendly, if you're into that). LoL? Yes please (even though I hate it)
• I already feel like it's getting too long (that's what she said) but I enjoy the Harry Potter books and don't like when people call them children's books. They contain more wisdom about life than most literature classics.

The point being, talking about stories, analysing movies together or writing our own video game plot (don't worry I already have an amazing idea, but not so good at writing dialogue)/short stories is a big thing I'd like to share in a relationship.
Still with me? Some other things I enjoy:

• music, especially older stuff rock, pop, some metal, classical and soundtracks!
• photography, especially nature & architecture. Going on a hike or exploring nature with the intent of taking pictures gives you a whole new outlook on things.
• running, that would be a really fun activity to share together as well.
• cooking and every now and then baking. Let me cook a romantic dinner for you?
• travelling! I've somewhat dipped my toe into the digital nomad thing in the last year and loved it. Exploring a new city/country is super exciting to me. My style of travelling is definitely more adventurous. I like being out and about all day and see as much as I can in the time I'm there, doing a moderate but not too crazy amount of research beforehand about attractions. I like a certain degree of spontaneity and some days where we would just walk wherever the wind carries us. Long... really long walks on the beach are the best, especially at night. That being said, I also enjoy a day laying at the beach, café hopping, exploring restaurants or a mall haha. My favourite place so far has been Japan for sure (not a weeb I swear)(lot's of malls here!). If you're a solo traveller let me know. If you're younger or haven't travelled so much, this is not a deal breaker. As long as you're curious and open minded with a sense for adventure.

Phew ok, not done yet. I need to say something about the type of romantic connection I'm desiring as it's somewhat off the norm. I want to spend a lot of time with my partner. A lot. That doesn't even mean constantly engaging with each other, but just being around each other, checking in on each other, leaving little notes, generally what they would call being clingy. Maintaining a happy relationship should be the number 1 priority in your life, as it would be for me. I would never neglect you in favour of other people or obligations and expect the same in return. Location wise would be great if you're in Germany of course, but really doesn't matter that much to me. This would just be an awesome motivation for me to travel somewhere and as I'm very flexible in my day to day life, I would make a visit happen sooner than later.
Appearance wise, 183 cm, caucasian, slimish/fitish/averageish build, short dark brown hair and eyes. Finally, I'll finish off with an arbitrary list of traits that describe me and I'm simultaneously seeking out in a woman: sense of humour (did that come across...like, at all? Writing this post I felt like it was all rather serious at times, because I take this seriously, but my style of communication is more light hearted, being silly together, not taking everything too seriously, but being able to talk maturely should the situation require), responsible, curious, reliable, trustworthy, loyal, honest to a fault, dedicated, creative, self-aware, honest again because it's important, thoughtful, caring, kind but not a pushover, enjoys arguing/debating, romantic, sweet. If you have a (very?) k1nky side that would be the cherry on top, but it's not a must and all in due time.
Have a virtual cookie for making it this far. Now don't be shy and send me a PM already, telling me what's on your mind. If you send a chat and I don't reply, send a little PM as a follow up in case the chat didn't work.

Hello, sorry in advance but english isn't my first language and I'm on the phone. I hope I write everything understandable. (I need to google some words. lol)
I'm currently staying at a mental hospital for some stationary therapy. This includes occupational therapy(OT). It's like crafting stuff or painting or colouring pictures or stuff like that. My favourite form of therapy..or so I thougt.
I knew I would stay at least 8 weeks and OT is like 3 times a week for 2 hours everytime, so at least 6 hours a week. I decided to do pottery because why not.
My first piece was a little figurine of one of my plushies and it really looks like her. But 2 hours wasn't enough so I rushed it because it was practically finished. Yeah...it breaked in the burning process...now it has a good site and a bad site...
Then the second thing I would make was a basket. I weaved it (no pottery this time) and one day wasn't enough, but I was more patient this time and stored it in the shelf for unfinished pieces. (Mind you each group had a different shelf.) So the next time I wanted to finish it and discovered some other patient worked on it. And it looked terrible! I was so mad..but okay, it was probably an honest mistake..I mean we are in a mental hospital for some reasons, you know? Well I fixed it and finished it.
But now...I started my 'masterpiece'. One month ago. It is a little chest and I tried to make it look like it is out of woodplanks. I wanted too at optically metalparts and so on. (everything is out of clay but shouldn't look like it.)
Well...things happen and much OT was canceled due to holidays, sickness of our therapist and staff shortage. I understand that really. I was building up some frustration, but I am understanding.
The problem with clay is, you can't work with it if it's dry. You need to keep it moist. So everytime I put the chest in a plastic bag, do some watering, close it and put it in the shelf. Because of the cancelations I would moist it more even if I don't have OT. Last week I didn't have one day with OT but I moistured it on friday.
I was sick on the weekend and still sick on monday. (Stomach pain sucks) I wanted to do the moisturing on monday, because a other group was in the OT room, but I was focusing on my body.
Well...finally today I could work on it again. But..the plastic bag was gone and my chest was standing in the shelf. It was dry. My heart sank. Someone (I don't know who, but I think the replacement therapist of the monday group) put my chest out of the bag so it could dry. I wanted to remove some things, I did wrong the last time, but it was so hard. I tried my best, but I finally broke down. I told the replacement therapist (an other one than the monday one) that I can't work know, because it is to dry. I was fighting my tears. He felt so bad and said he would talk to the RT for the friday group so that I can work tomorrow on it and did some moistering stuff on my chest.
I cleaned my workplace, walked to my room and cried on the bed. I am so so mad. I want to scream to the person who put the plastic bag away. But I'm not sure who it was and it did not really matter. I'm so sick of all the cancelations. I'm going home in to weeks and I don't have time to finish it in the OT because of the damn cancelations. Everything I did in the normal OT became some big shades. I hate it. I am so mad and sad...
The only bright side I have is, that I can now take it home on the weekend and finish it at home, because I have now the tools for that... but I don't know if it will be moistured enough till then...
I was praised so much because of the chest and all I can think of is, how terrible the circumstances are. I have so much bad feelings now for this little chest, which could easy be one of my best things I did till now, when I would have enough time for it. But know it is dry and I don't know if it will be moist enough again...

I did IFS with a therapist for 3 years and then RAN in 2020. I got so terrified after getting to know my parts so well. I know why now and what happened and I’m back with that same therapist.
The issue is NOW ifs feels SO HARD. So hard. I used to love it. Now I’m in bed two days after a session. My beloved therapist who I love and have considered family even after leaving her (I stayed in touch!) feels angry and my parts feel she is annoyed and doesn’t like me. I even discussed this with her.
I’m guessing this is why my parts ran and facing it is extremely hard but I’m having a difficult time understanding (I’m likely very blended) and having compassion for being stuck in bed and feeling shame. I KNOW these are little kid parts. I feel like I’m in a tennis match inside me and the parts keep going back and forth between who is safe and who is scary.
I canNOT regulate or do any soothing besides binge watch videos. Does anyone relate have any suggestions? Therapist said not to go TO these parts let them come to me. So I just feel numb af, kinda sad, kinda dumb.
Def feel like a 17 year old in a 40 something body.
Help?
TLDR started ifs in 2017. Left in 2020 due to fear (and other trauma happening) and went to ego state therapist. We talked about parts but not TO PARTS. now am back with original therapist and am struggling and curious why I feel so scared of this ifs therapist I adore.

Bit of context I am 21 years of age probably started having drinks regularly when I turned 19 over the past year it got pretty bad drinking everyday or every other day having 7-8 standard drinks. decided to stop for 2 weeks and had withdrawals like sweating lots very anxious and nausea then after all the symptoms are gone I go to have some drinks with friends and the next day I get withdrawals again, is there a timeline that I should be one to cut alcohol out for a certain timeline to stop feeling the effects of withdrawals and just body to return to normal or is it like this forever?

Everytime I get a “flare up” I get anxiety, irritated, brain fog, hives, and worst of ALL constipated, but it’s not the like dry stools constipation. My stools are not the problem, it’s my actual intestines. Everything just slows down. My sister took a stethoscope and listened to the speed of my digestion in each quadrant of my abdomen, and it’s very fast in my upper quadrants but it’s very very slow in my lower quadrants. Taking stimulants doesn’t work, neither does stool softener. I still can’t poo, and when I do (when I wake up) it’s not a full evacuation and it’s just diarrhea. This can go on for a couple hours, and as SOON as I take vitamins C (which hasn’t been working recently) my whole body calms down and I have the urge to suddenly poo right after. What is this?

I knew that airplanes would probably make your symptoms and headaches worse. I had a sneaking suspicion that going to the mountains and coming back to my house (near sea level) would also make it worse. Turns out I was correct!
I went to the mountains for a vacation to go birding and saw so many warblers so I think it was worth it! I only went up to around 3000-4000 ft max in elevation in the mountains for about 2 days. I had no headaches during this time period.
So, any of y'all visit the mountains or go up a few thousand ft in elevation to keep in mind you may get wicked headaches after you drop in elevation. I experienced the worst of the headache on the way down the mountains to the foothills but it sorta leveled out but now my body is adjusting again and headaches are happening again. I would assume something like the Rocky Mountains and coming back down would cause more headache pain than the Appalachians (which I visited). So, the higher the difference in elevation change, the greater the pain and symptoms because there is a larger change in air pressure.

I posted a couple days ago what I think would be a great idea for cosmetics but I don't think anyone seen it, so hopefully someone sees it this time.
I don't know if it would be possible to add, but I was thinking about what if a Wardrobe feature was added under Cosmetics, next to Outfits and Weapons.
The whole point of the wardrobe feature would be to mix and match the different Outfits that you own.
E.g. If you play as Johnny then go to "Cosmetics" and then "Wardrobe". You would have 4 options. HEAD, BODY, LEGS AND FEET. For HEAD you could keep the DEFAULT head, but then under BODY you could equip the SHIRTLESS body, and then for LEGS you could equip the STALKER LVL99 Legs, and then for FEET go for the STALKER LVL99 Shoes just to keep the blackout theme.
And to also spice it up, if you own the BLOODY KILLER pack then add an option for Blood, if you equip it then it adds blood to the whole outfit as if the blood was already part of the whole outfit you just put together.
The whole point is to edit all the Outfits you own and match them together and create your own colour theme and such.

I know they say fibro is not degenerative but I feel I have worsened significantly in the past 2 years.
I was diagnosed in 2018, symptoms started over a year before. For the first few years I was in pain but would have a good few days where I was fairly symptom free. This is no longer the case at all. I am in pain daily now, my fatigue is worse than it’s ever been, I’m getting migraines 2x a week or more and I honestly feel like my body is wasting away.
It’s so depressing, I am only 27 years old. I can’t work, I’ve just been granted disability which is a huge help financially but has also made me question is this just going to be my life now? I can barely take my dog for a slow 20 minute walk anymore without burning pain and feeling like I’m going to collapse. I leave the house on average once every 2 weeks, I spend most days sleeping and in pain or feeling so foggy I can barely hold a conversation.
I guess this is just a bit of a vent and to see if anyone else feels their condition has worsened over time as well. Also am always looking for any tips, tricks or new treatments people have found helpful so please leave any in the comments.

I'm going to try to keep this short while giving as much relevant information as possible. Basically, a few months ago I had a pretty bad panic attack after smoking a little too much with one of my friends on 4/20. It was scary, but I made it through fine (and also quit smoking za the next day). I noticed that during this panic attack, my right side went mostly numb, but feeling returned the day after.
Fast forward to Mother's Day and I have another panic attack out of the blue (the panic attacks are new as well, by the way). I actually go to the hospital for this one because it feels like I'm dying. Doctors do bloodwork, X-Rays, urine samples, etc., but turn up with nothing and send me home with a clean bill of health and tell me to stay active and lay off alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc. (which was good enough motivation for me to drop most of it).
But now, a few days later, I still have this weird, almost inexplicable feeling on the right side of my body that seems to come and go. I'm not sure I would describe it as "numbness" per se, although it definitely does feel like that sometimes. The best way I can describe it is almost like the left and right sides of my body are disconnected. I also have a light pressure on the top right side of my head that comes and goes as well. Nothing hurts, everything seems to be working properly, but I can't shake this odd feeling that something is wrong and I'm beginning to wonder if something actually *is* wrong or if I'm just experiencing really bad anxiety. I've always had anxiety problems but they've never ever been bad enough to give me panic attacks or make me feel quite like I am currently.
Please let me know if this is something I should go see a doctor about or if I just need to find a way to work off some stress, because this has been freaking me out a bit. Thank you in advance, and I hope you're having a better week than I am =)

I switched to a dedicated team of thyroid specialists in March (2024). I haven't felt this great in years. No fatigue, no brain fog, little stress, I sleep great, no more depression, body pains are gone, and more. I'm 54 and have struggled with thyroid issues since my 20's or younger. For years the doctors told me it is all in my head - the single thyroid test they would do always came back normal. I found a specialist in my early 40's and felt great with the proper meds...then I moved to a different city a few years later and have struggled since.
I am now with Paloma Health (available in the U.S., countrywide). I was hesitant to go with them, because they do not take my insurance. Turns out it isn't that expensive (just a bit more than without insurance). They ran a full panel of tests (4 in total - never had this done before!). I met virtually with a doctor who focuses on thyroid. She changed the type of medication I was taking (which included T3, and it was pushing that T3 number too high). First 6 weeks of the new medication was too low a dose (though she said I should expect that to happen - she didn't want to push me into a hypo state). I took another panel of tests after that first 6 weeks, which clearly showed I have Hashimotos. She upped the dosage, and like a miracle, within a couple weeks I felt amazing!!
I had lost hope that I could ever feel this good again. I highly recommend Paloma Health! (I'm not affiliated in any way).

Hii I apologize if this isn't quite the right sub for weight loss questions, but the community is so nice and I'm not sure where else would be safe to post as it does relate to my transition a little bit. Also it is a little lengthy so there is a quick TLDR at the bottom. Though the context of the full post may help with more useful answers. Either way, thank you for your time!
So Jan 1st of last year I weighed myself and saw I was 245lbs. I then made it my goal to work on myself physically and mentally that year. It was around this time that my egg started cracking and that spurred a desire to actually care about my body for the first time in my life and I actually made significant strides in losing weight. Between Jan and Oct of last year I lost about 85-90lbs by intermittent fasting(I only eat between 12pm-8pm except on rare occasions like parties), eating less (partially as a result of fasting), and eating healthier.
I completely cut out fast food, sodas, and highly processed snacks except on very rare occasions. I also rarely drink alcohol now, maybe once a month (if even) at a party. My dinners consist of a balance between a fish portion or half of a baked chicken breast - some baked, roasted, or sautéed veggies (lots of broccoli), and small portions of rice. Around noon I typically have some oatmeal and a fruit like a banana or blueberries/strawberries and sometimes some greek yogurt if I'm still hungry or after a workout (which I often have an apple after). I pretty much only snack on lightly salted popcorn, fruits, and trail mix (I have an omega-3 mix and a monster mix which is a bit sweeter to try and sate my sweet tooth).
I also exercise at least 4-5 times a week. I go out for a jog/walk for anywhere between 1-2 hours most days and then follow up with mostly lower body workouts, as well as some core. I tend to do 100 various squats, I do deadbugs for a minute, leg lifts, hip bridges, deadlifts, and a 2-minute plank. I tend to mostly rest every other day. Recently, due to a doctor recommendation, I picked up 5lb free weights and added some high rep-low weight upper body workouts to tone on opposite days of my lower body workouts, as my doctor advised this might help with the weight loss.
My doctor also advised that I might be stuck around this weight, as she noted that when a lot of people lose weight very quickly, they tend to hit a plateau. She said when our bodies are used to a high weight, there is a limit to how much we can lose in a shory period of time. I imagine this is due to the fact that (I read somewhere) working out doesn't destroy the lipids in our bodies, it simply shrinks them down. I've read that it can take a long time for those shrunken lipids to actually disappear, so there is a limit to how much you can lose in a given time period since the lipids aren't entirely gone. Not sure how accurate this is, but I'm hoping it just means over time I will slowly be able to lose the remaining fat.
Due to all of this I went from that 245lbs and now float around 155-160lbs. The problem is that I have been stuck here since around October and haven't been able to get below the 155lbs at all in all this time. My goal is to hit around 140-145lbs and aim for a more flat tummy, which seems to be the biggest holdout on my body. I want to lose upper torso mass and belly fat on the front and sides, but nothing seems to be working. For reference, I am 5'7". Once I start E I plan on adding a little weight over time to help put fat where I want it to be (but not get overweight lol).
I wanted to make this post to see if anyone has any suggestions on what I could change or add that might help me get further results. Or do people think I may have hit that plateau I mentioned above and it will just take a long time of continuous effort to get rid of those lipids? I'm starting hrt soon so hoping the change in fat distribution will make it so the remaining male fat will be easier to lose since new fat will go elsewhere.
TLDR: I lost 90lbs and have been stuck around 155 for roughly 7 months - looking for advice to burn more fat and get rid of belly fat on front and sides to hit my goal of aroind 140-145lbs. I am 5'7"
Thank you all for your time, I appreciate you!

I care about my body alot, I like to stay fit and healthy (because I grew up in a morbidly obese family) my bf is starting to gain weight, and don't get me wrong I love him ALOT. And weight isn't going to scare me away, but he's much bigger than when we first met. I've talked to him about it and he doesn't think he has a weight problem at all.. he's gained at least 45-50lbs since we met and he wasn't exactly skinny when we met either :/ I'm sure this all sounds shallow, but I'm genuinely asking how to approach the subject without hurting his feelings. I really don't want my S/O to be unhealthy, obviously wanting us to live together for a very long time.

basically this is my new blog about my personal life and my wacky unfortunate adventures. i hope you enjoy. here’s a summary of what’s been going on lately.
my grandad has been diagnosed with stage 3 incurable cancer and he also has dementia. this has taken a huge toll on my already weak mental health. this man is my bestfriend and like a father to me, so it’s just a matter of time until i lose him, i try not to think about it by spending time on my studies and friends but it’s not working.
my friends are a whole different topic, don’t get me wrong they are great and i love them but i recently realized spending time with them just exhausts me more, i hate that i feel that way. they are the most loving and supportive group of people i have ever met but my mind tells me im just a stranger they picked up and they actually don’t like me.
i’ve noticed i need professional help but i cant bring myself to get it, i feel like im just a nuisance to be around and i shouldn’t bother others about my overthinking and problems as others have it way worse than me. that’s always on my mind. “others have it worse”.
i’m an empty shell of a human, i have no real personality, i stole it from others so they can like me. don’t even get me started on the whole relationship crush thing.
i’ll start anyways, everytime i find someone im interested in and i always hold myself back and admire from afar as i feel like i would ruin them, and when i do shoot my shot it always fails. i think it’s because of my looks. my uneven face, my hair, my body, my hands, my everything. i have some days where i look put together and somewhat attractive and most days i look like i just crawled out of a sewer. my humor makes up for it though, i always thought of myself as the backup friend, the friend who makes others look good.
this is already a lot and i hope people who read this finds humor in this blog which is basically comedic relief. this is entry 1

I lost my wife to suicide 5 years ago. She was only 26. She jumped from the golden gate bridge. I keep having this reoccurring dream that she isn't dead but faked her death so she can start a new life with someone else in secret. In the dreams I am always trying to call her or find her and talk to her but it's always her mom or sister or my siblings that talk to her in the dreams and give me vague answers. In the dreams I experience torment, I am constantly going somewhere, looking for her, trying to find her, always calling or texting her. When I wake up I have to remember her funeral and her deceased body in order to snap back into reality because after I wake up for the first few minutes I can't separate the dream from reality. Most of the time when I wake up from these dreams my heart hurts and I am in tears. The first 3 years I would have these dreams multiple times a week. Not it's less common but I still get them once every 2 months but it still hurts just as much. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I just have this strong feeling that there is some message in these dreams that I just can't figure out.
