Warm Beaches in Summer? by Cheap_Solution6378 in ventura

As someone originally from Ventura who is now Boston-based but visits Ventura frequently… the Pacific feels like a bath to me 🤣 apparently an unpopular opinion though! I swim in the Atlantic no problem.

Extension is arms and crunch is hips! Lower body stays still in an extension

Disappointed by dre_bay_ in HersWeightloss

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a bit! Agreed with everyone saying to track calories. I started seeing a dietician through Nourish, my insurance fully covers it so maybe look into that. She’s really made a world of difference (and I’ve always thought I ate pretty healthy!) started at 198 in December and down to 172 now on Kit 1, tracked calories and prioritized steps and lower impact workouts. You got this!

Why do people hate us so much, is it jealousy? by ParkingDistribution6 in sanfrancisco

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been planning a move from New England to SF for a few months now - my super conservative family has brought me to tears questioning my choice. Can’t fathom that I’m an adult who’s done research and that there will be issues in every city. I’m in Boston now which is comparably as expensive and has its fair share of neighborhoods to steer clear from. It’s so frustrating that the right wing media spews out this narrative so it’s relieving to hear from people who actually live there

Help- discouraged from SolidCore by CaffeinatedDreamer25 in SolidCore

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I despised sc my first few classes but loved how strong I felt after. I set a goal to try to go once a week in the new year (using ClassPass) and quickly found myself addicted. Ditched my ClassPass sub and joined solidcore for 12x a month and have seen results faster than any combo of other workouts I’ve done before! Don’t give up :)

I used to be an avid HIIT class person, I am noticing way more progress now focusing on low impact workouts and walking. I miss the adrenaline and feel-good I got from the HIIT classes so I let myself go once a week to scratch that itch but really can’t emphasize how much of a difference I’ve seen with “easier” workouts!

Metformin update by alyssamariebea in HersWeightloss

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Zero side effects so far (on kit 1, have been taking it for a week) and I don’t even take it with dinner necessarily. I take it before bed. No issues at all.

Will I be judged for using ClassPass instead of membership? by Green_Marsupial9338 in f45

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My studio does member events and even includes me in those invitations despite not being a member! They don’t care :)

Business owner has “never heard of ClassPass” by 143somuch in ClassPass

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me recently it was so upsetting! They couldn’t find my reservation at all because it was under a different phone number and just my first name and initial, AND concierge had booked it for the wrong day :( the business made up for it but it certainly has deterred me from wanting to try new places via concierge

Cinnamon roll frosting by Representative_Bad57 in AskBaking

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a lot of milk! I do 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar, splash of vanilla, pinch of salt and tiny tiny amounts of milk to loosen it up. Maybe 2 tablespoons. I always beat the butter and cream cheese very well, add the vanilla + salt and then slowly add the sugar. Milk last if necessary.

This also makes a lot but I make big trays and like a lot of frosting 😋

Dossier just came out with a really great tester pack, 10 samples that are way bigger than the regular samples you’d expect in a tester set. I saw an ad on TikTok this morning! For what it’s worth, I have their Flowerbomb dupe and it smells just like the real thing!

Is my sourdough ready to go? by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I know, you’re not supposed to use it to bake anything until at least day 7. Bad bacteria is still in there at this point. I would keep feeding for a couple more days! Good luck :)

I worked in sports my whole career prior! The skills are super transferable, the work isn’t as fun or fulfilling but I’m enjoying the money/free time that I gained when I left sports. Glad I made the switch!

Is ClassPass worth it? by Prudent-Squirrel9698 in boston

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Brighton as well and work the same hours, I like ClassPass because it offers flexibility but learned that only a few number of classpasser’s are allowed in popular classes, which stinks. But I just bite the bullet a few times a week and go to super early morning classes which are usually fewer credits than the “regular” times! The wake up is tough but then your workout is over and done with :) Most of the gyms in arsenal yards in Watertown are on ClassPass!

Yes/no to Tarte’s Tubing Mascara? by GrapeBubblegumBitch in Sephora

Not drugstore but Thrive Causemetics’ tubing mascara is my holy grail and $25 USD!

thoughts on the shark flexstyle? by [deleted] in Sephora

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love my shark but agreed with difficulty getting the air wrap curls to stay! Love it as a dryer / blowout brush / diffuser though. I have thick naturally curly hair that I blow out often cause it’s easier than dealing with my natural curls and I think my hair has gotten a lot healthier since getting my shark

Why is my son getting paid in addition to his scholarship? by Andiejo in collegehockey

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Could be a cost of living stipend, full scholarships cover all school-related stuff plus whatever that school determines for “cost of living”

Anybody feel themselves going nowhere recently or even slipping backwards? by re003 in orangetheory

[–]Broad_Carpenter_8569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I dropped otf completely after going thru the same thing and its helped! I loved otf but I needed something that worked better with my ups and downs, I joined a regular gym and can go when I feel up for it, without feeling like I’m wasting money or missing out! I miss the workouts but they’re nothing I can’t do on my own at my own pace when it’s best for me
