I am 29 & I’ve gained about 50 pounds since graduating from college. I am in a rut because I feel like the style that I once had is just gone and I wear a lot of the same clothes all the time and a lot of black. Has anyone been in a similar predicament and gotten a stylist? Or somewhat of a style consultant? I’m toying between getting one now or getting one when I lose the weight that I’ve been working on losing for the last couple of years. What do you think?

Ok ladies! I posted a week ago about extreme fatigue, went to the doc to have bloodwork. They said high calicum due to hyperparathyroid. Now they have taken that off the table because calcium was slightly elevated and my parathyroid hormone was normal. They are doing a pelvic ultrasound today for fibroids (because that can cause fatigue). I don’t really have symptoms of those though. Anyway if that is normal they aren’t doing anymore testing and to follow this issue up with my gyno in Feb..cont.

Any weight loss stories out there? What has worked for you? I’ve tried to lose ~20 pounds on/off for the last 6-8 years and have never succeeded.

Any gift ideas for my cousins who's pregnant? I'm not close to her and I didn't even say congratulations til a month ago(she's around 5 months pregnant now but to be fair she didn't tell me she was pregnant or post it anywhere, my mom told me)
But I do want to do better and show her I'm there for her as well. Anything that you think would be a nice gesture? (And I probably can't do a spa gift card cuz new Covid variant)

Would you go on a 2nd virtual date with a guy that kept interrupting you but then apologize after he was done w what he was saying “ah I’m sorry I interrupted you”. But he keeps doing it. The interactions reminds me of the male colleagues that try to mansplain & be the center of attention but he seemingly checked the box in other ways - values & career. Am I overthinking?

Any women have extremely hyper sexual significant others? My SO is sex 2-3 times a day, when we are apart a lot of video and pictures, tons of sexting, and he is now asking for public sex. We have been together a while and I have a high sex drive, too, but sometimes I just can’t (work, period, etc). Does this drive keep getting more intense or is this more of a phase?
