There was a point where she had started working out regularly when she was still in Houston and you could actually see the results of that on her with her clearly toning up and putting on a little muscle. So yeah, considering she’s been going at orange theory for a year now, doesn’t feel like it’s getting any easier, and is thinner than ever points at her not eating enough imo.milanese15 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 12:18 pmYeah, like in her latest vlog where she complains that she’s been doing OrangeTheory for more than a year and it hasn’t gotten any easier...that seemed like evidence that she definitely doesn’t eat enough. If she were eating enough, I imagine she would’ve seen lots of progress by now.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Yeah, I actually don't believe that her current "I need to open myself up to my audience" mode is healthy for her. She acts like she's literally in physical pain sharing most of this personal stuff. The recent TMI videos are incredibly guarded and even quite vague; it's too hard for her to be direct and address the tough parts. Fertility issues and family members' illnesses are understandably difficult topics, and she probably shouldn't be oversharing these private things, at least not in real time imo. If anything, I think she should move back to as much fluffy, fun lifestyle/beauty content as possible and find a legitimate therapist and/or marriage counselor to discuss major life changes and learn some effective communication tools. She can still try to be an authentic "influencer" (as much of an oxymoron as that is, lol) without being so vulnerable. I don't exactly understand what propelled her to start making such content anyway.treetown_squirrel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 6:20 pmBut then there's boundaries, and that's where I'm like you and am always wondering why she's pushing herself so hard specifically in front of the camera.
Like, yay! It takes tremendous courage to be vulnerable, good for you (and I really don't mean that sarcastically at all), but like, are we the right people to share that with? And that can mean a number of things, her pregnancy journey, the sick family member, whatever.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Can anyone fill me in as to why she’s going through IVF and now taking a fertility medication? She’s only 32 and I feel like she and Grant hav only been married a short amount of time.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
She's not doing IVF yet; she's currently doing IUI. She has PCOS which can affect fertility (and she is clearly underweight, but she hasn't made a real effort to remedy that ). It seems like they've been trying to get pregnant since...well, it seems like since their wedding night tbh, lol.
Of course 32 is young in the context of a full lifespan, but it's not really young as far as conception goes. Fertility rapidly declines in a woman's mid-thirties, and childbearing at 35+ is considered higher risk and is often medically referred to as "geriatric pregnancy." I guess LA and Grant are trying to beat the clock in that regard, especially if they want more than one kid--though I truly can't imagine LA as a mom to one child, much less two or three or more.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Thanks for your detailed response! I know most people are told to try for at least a year before seeing a doctor about fertility issues, and I thought they had only been married for like a year and some change.dew2 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 9:35 pmShe's not doing IVF yet; she's currently doing IUI.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Oh yeah, they got married in July 2018.
She posted this video in May 2019. She started going to a PCOS/fertility doctor for a PCOS diagnosis and treatment and stopped taking the pill in early 2018. She started charting her cycles about two months after her wedding. Then she started taking ovulation predictor tests and had a lot of in-depth fertility testing in early 2019.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
She's probably reading here. She probably sees all of us saying how boring she is and how we wish she'd open up and be more vulnerable, especially with topics where she hints at things or shares a bit of it but then when people ask about it, she shuts up and says she doesn't want to talk about it. I don't know, it reminds me of when someone posts something on social media like "UGH I'M SO MAD" and then when people ask what's wrong, they're like "I don't want to talk about it"dew2 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 6:14 pmYeah, I actually don't believe that her current "I need to open myself up to my audience" mode is healthy for her.

So now she's talking about it. *shrug*

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
I like that LA is being more open about her life. I think that she can't win, if she were down and not talking about it people would moan and if she shares people still moan.
What is wrong with Mary? I know she used a scooter around Disney, does she has RA?

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
We've been saying for years at this point that she needs to be more open, but that also doesn't mean we want her to come on camera crying and acting incredibly uncomfortable. The real issue is that she has always been vague and hinted at things (for attention), refused to actually fully share, and then gotten annoyed when people asked anything further about it.Apollo2016 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 1:05 pmI like that LA is being more open about her life.

I don't personally have an issue with the recent vlog, but I just wanted to point out what people are really asking of her is to not communicate things (as someone just said above) in the style of a vague passive aggressive AIM away message/social media post. She has always loved being "mysterious" when it has really been attention seeking behavior.
But I agree, overall I think it's good that she's sharing. It's just in stark contrast to the usual monotony of her vlogs that divulge so little about what she's really thinking/feeling. She has very few opinions/takes on anything and can come across almost robotic.
I think it's pretty clear that she has issues with openness and vulnerability in her real life, not just her online one. She really, really needs to go to therapy.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Opening up and showing vulnerability is helpful to get people to follow you and connect with you. But when you spend half the time explaining just how uncomfortable it makes you feel to do it, I think you should just move on. She does it in such an uncomfortable way that feels prying, unnatural and voyeuristic. Sometimes you need to know your limits.
It’s not that she can’t win with me. It’s that she’s simply not good at being an open person and sharing her life with the internet. Not everyone is meant to do it and not everyone excels at the things they try. The fact that she leaves all that in there and doesn’t edit it out tells me that she thinks it’s really important to express herself this way and it’s very frustrating as a viewer. Based on the things she’s said over the years, it’s obvious she has a negative view of people who share everything, who turn to the internet for comfort, who use difficult moments as “content.” So why is she sharing these things now, but only after a 10 min spiel where she lets us know that she’s not that person? I personally feel like she’s become so isolated, that it actually is fulfilling a need for her, but it goes against a lot of what she’s finds to be acceptable online behavior. Whatever the reason, I wish she would just pick a side. Either keep your life very curated or use your personal life for content.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Nah, that's not it, at least not for me. Leigh Ann just makes sharing her personal life feel intrusive and wildly uncomfortable, and it's simply unpleasant to watch. Plenty of other YTers share (or overshare) and talk about difficult life events and sensitive topics without making pained, drawn-out videos that come across like pulling teeth. Leigh Ann can literally talk for half an hour without saying anything of substance or connecting with a viewer.Apollo2016 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 1:05 pmI like that LA is being more open about her life.

That said, I'd much rather watch her "vulnerable" videos than her Disney content.

Hrm, with the greenery everywhere it...kinda works? It's at least an improvement on having it in a white room with nothing else to go with the vibe. For such a weird set you need to style the hell out of the room to make it work.
Still hate it, though.

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
Two things about the vlog
1. Those side tables have to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. I now think I need to go into the over priced vintage store business to sell to people like them
2. They bought yogurt at Costco (at least it was in their cart) and then proceeded to go shopping everywhere else that makes me uncomfortable - don't like my dairy to be In the car very long unless it is like 20 degrees out

Re: Neigh-ann and Grant: Horsin' around (Leighannsays Part 9)
The amount of just stuff that she has in her bathroom even after "de-cluttering" is genuinely disgusting. She doesn't need that much stuff and I can't fathom being able to fill up what was it like six drawers and an entire cabinet with just junk. she showed like scrunchies and hair ties and then opened an entire drawer full of scrunchies and hair ties and she has these headbands that she literally has never worn like I don't get it
I also don't understand why she has so much tanning stuff don't you just need the bottle of can the glove and then the tan remover? Why does she have an entire section devoted to tanning stuff? She just hoards so much stuff and I don't understand how she could live like that. I'd feel claustrophobic
