Tetsu got a reaction from marylander1940 in My weight loss journey
I lost almost 60lbs in the past eight months and have gained some muscle as well. My goals are a standard fit gym bro look, lol.
Just to preface, everyone's bodies, habits, lifestyles are different so what worked for me, might not work for you but I found the following helpful:
Calculate how many calories your body needs to maintain, lose, or gain weight first. There are many online calculators that can give you a rough idea. That's your starting point. Be okay eating the same food everyday, it makes the process smoother and you're less likely to fall off the wagon. Meal prep (related to the one above). You'll have less decision fatigue. Choose meals that are easy to prepare. Input your calories into MyFitnessPal or some sort of calorie tracking app. You need to know how much you're eating in order to lose the weight. Be okay with being hungry. This will be tough, especially in the beginning. Gym x 3 to 4 times a week. You don't need to lift too heavy if you're looking for a more feminine look, but doing some lifting will tone your body up as the fat drops off. There are plenty of online programs you can follow. You don't need to spend hours in the gym, usually 45 minute session will do. If you're going to have a "cheat" meal, make it one with friends or family and limit it to only ONE meal (not day) per week. You will see results if you're consistent with it, but you have to track and continue to do this and to maintain this. This is a lifestyle change.

Tetsu got a reaction from Michaell in Naked Warrior LA
I'm not sure where to put this, but as it pertains to fitness (and thus health), I'm putting this question here.
I started practicing yoga April of this year and am really into it now - I go to six classes a week at my local studio.
I'm interested in trying out naked yoga at this studio in West Hollywood:
https://www.nakedwarrioryoga.com/
Has anybody been here before? What was it like? Do you need a certain body type to go?

I wanted to update on my thoughts about Nathan.
In my opinion, the best out of all the guys I tried at Thai Wellness! Very professional and provides an excellent massage that really hit the spot! I'll definitely be going back to him.

I made a reservation with Nathan, looking forward to it.
So far I've tried, Joe, Andre, Billy, Teddy, Kenneth, and Patrick.
They're all fine but I didn't like how one of them sent a pretty aggressive text message saying I didn't tip him well enough. I don't mind paying but I would have appreciated being up front about the value he thinks he offered instead of not communicating, being angry after the fact, and then sending a rude, aggressive text message. I'm not exactly sure what sort of thought process he had, but the fact he did that tells me he doesn't know the concept of creating good will. Some people do not know how to communicate.

Tetsu got a reaction from + GD85 in Sun Spa in LA
Yeah! Let us know! Unfortunately I'm not in LA most days so my time to try these places is kind of limited otherwise I would have gone already.

Tetsu got a reaction from S_G in Sun Spa in LA
Hi, I'm new here but not new to the massage scene in LA. I sometimes go to Thai Wellness but was curious about Sun Spa not too far away.
yelp.com
WWW.YELP.COM It seems two reviewers are guys who got a massage from someone named Chris. Their website doesn't have much information though, just curious if anybody can share any details.
Thanks!
