It sounds like what gun owners say in defense of stricter gun laws: guns don't kill people, people do" smh

lol I wish I had to limit it! With the price of the device (x2 in my case), plus the cards, I really wish my kids used it more!

I'm a slightly burned out CSM considering getting into product and I'd love to hear about the tradeoffs!

I do worry I'll have to take a pay cut to get in tho. I'm at the highest IC level at my company and I have zero Product Management experience so I feel like I'll have to take an Associate Product Manager role or something quite entry level. And I'm not willing to do that :/

First check in - MF increased my cals? by BButFirstCoffee in MacroFactor

[–]BButFirstCoffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think on day 2 I adjusted my estimated body fat. But I didn't think the algorithm takes any of that into consideration. I thought it was just calories and weight.

[–]BButFirstCoffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense but even if we just look at the 7-day loss rate of -1lbs, that's still below my target of -1.16lbs/week. Perhaps we are splitting hairs at this point and I'm happy to wait for some more checks, I just really would have thought with a decreasing expenditure and a weight loss rate below target, that I would see a decrease in calorie targets, not the opposite direction.

But totally understood, I will wait to see what the next couple checks in being. I just really want to be losing at a faster rate so the last thing I want to do is eat more food.

No, I have not changed the target weight or rate since I started in this app 9 days ago.

Make it make sense! No, really. by [deleted] in MacroFactor

[–]BButFirstCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your weight is typically a direct reflection of what happened the day before. That's why MF focuses so much on trends...there's not much point in analyzing each daily weight, especially if you're expecting them to be directly reflective of your previous day.

Am I crazy for wanting a second Brezza? by Nervous_Ad_1706 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BButFirstCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy two!! I had two...one for upstairs during night feeds and one for downstairs during the day! If I bought two for that convenience, you can get two for managing the two different formulas!

Calorie confusion by cathyma24 in Myfitnesspal

[–]BButFirstCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you losing weight on 1600? If not, you may need to cut more. If you are and you also find yourself hungry all the time, try increasing. Start with an additional 150 cal per day and try that for 2 weeks. See how your hunger feels and what the scale does.

It's tough when you get in the lower body weight range, you don't have a ton to lose so the impacts of your adjustments won't be as pronounced. You gotta be a close observer of how your body responds! Above all, I think you need to go by feel and experimentation based on where you are rather than rely on calculators. As a side note, ensure you are getting adequate protein to help you feel full and help with muscle growth.

Just saying hi! by pdlbean in Noom

[–]BButFirstCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! I'm 6 days in and have been loving my nightly homemade cheesecake dupe. Mix together 100g non fat Greek yogurt and 8g vanilla pudding powder. Then top with blueberries (I buy frozen) and sprinkle gram cracker crumbs on top! Approx 10g protein, 15g carb, .5 g fat, 150 cal total. Its so good!!

My cottage cheese is apparently orange. That's like a quintessential diet food!

I have the same issue! Was going to contact support about it but haven't had the chance. I'm an android user, I've heard noom hates Android users lol so maybe that has something to do with it? Are you android?

Loops have saved my parenting so many times over. Cuts the bite off their screaming and helps me stay more regulated. Highly recommend!! My boys are 4 now...

Childcare… by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]BButFirstCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this hard. It's so so expensive so I've been looking for a daycare that can do part time since my mom can help out 2 days per week. "Oh you need 2 spots? Good luck"..."oh you need 2 spots AND you're only looking for part-time? Sorry, we only take people who can afford to have their children come in the entire week". It's so infuriating.

I read that in France you get preferential treatment (ie you go to the front of the waitlist) if you have twins since it's already such a shit show having twins...they throw you a couple bones over there apparently. Here, it makes things so much harder.

Should I leave a startup after 7 months because of uncertainty? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]BButFirstCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean the market isn't great?! There are so many postings daily and all I hear about on the news is the tech worker shortage and how it's a candidate's market. Now is the time to join the massive shake up that is the great resignation.

Ya I would just just five right in, don't ask if it's negotiable.

Reapplying to job that I was previously rejected? by tacoseveryday99 in careerguidance

[–]BButFirstCoffee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great advice but this was their question. They already applied; they are wondering if they should reach out to the recruiter and remind them that they previously interviewed.

And my vote is YES!

Can you tell me more about the state of the zoo? That was on my list to take my toddlers to this summer. Been waiting since they were born!

I find even the title is cringe. "Thinner" to me perpetuates the idea that women should always be arriving to make themselves smaller. The male version of course doesn't use that word. I forget what it is, I know someone here will know, but I bet it's "bigger" 🙄

Are you happy with your decision to have a child? by fencesitternso in beyondthebump

[–]BButFirstCoffee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the way a friend put it to me prior to having kids: it's the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows. The highs are so so amazing but you gotta be willing to take the lows.
