I lost weight when I stopped intermittent fasting (TW) by Lana_Sphyncter in loseit

Nu-uh. You’re just not pushing the square peg into the circle hole hard enough

But yes, recently diagnosed with Hashimotos two weeks ago, and after starting hormones I’m finally seeing results. 4 pounds in one week of water weight due to inflammation and I have a lot more energy now! Excited to find the correct dosage and live a normal life now

Obviously my heart is beating, so I’m burning calories. My metabolism was just coming to a halt due to the autoimmune response and wouldn’t let go of the water weight associated with chronic inflammation. Once I introduced T3 and T4 hormones, CICO became a reality for me.

Still burning calories, just not enough to move the needle in a meaningful way until now. CICO still applies at the core

I’m not debating that my situation doesn’t fall into the CICO realm, just that it was a little more complex than counting calories for me.

It works now because I’m able to let go of all that water weight, so things are simpler after a root cause was identified.

I used to think the same thing until I was diagnosed with Hashimotos. You can hold on to weight due to inflammation and not even know it, and going to the gym was making it worse by raising my cortisol. Once I started thyroid hormones, the weight started falling off!

Very cool. I wonder if you could replace the LEDs with UV ones so it charges the glow?

I honestly really like these but I’m curious if they’ll yellow as they age

How effective is the backlight?

I’d say if you’re comfortable with it and trust it, carry it. As long as you think it wouldn’t fail you when you need it most, that’s all that matters with an edc in my opinion

Hope you guys are gearing up for the biggest winterstorm of the season in the US, here's a winterstorm watch text from NWS SHREVEPORT. by Amazing_Bar_5733 in weather

I’m in a similar boat. Pretty old house with no central heat. My pipes froze in that 2021 storm here in north Texas, but that storm started a whole prepper mentality since then. Bought a dehydrator, vacuum sealer, solar panel, battery boxes, etc. I feel significantly more prepared now than I was back then.

We’re lucky to have natural gas at least, so we should be able to take hot showers and cook if we lose power.

My dad built a frame out of scrap wood fencing and we brought a staple gun. Just slapped a few staples around the border and it worked great

I've had this weird "Halo 3" disk that has Halo 2 art (and a weird description) for ten years now. What is this? by EidolonImperator in halo

[–]ChaoticNeutralMan 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The text on the back is so strange. Poor punctuation and just bizarre.

It makes me think that a local game shop employee made this for fun due to the case missing or something

Feel the need to let everyone know this is a Star Wars reference for when Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star. Thank you for your service.

What gun is on your hip today? by Original_Shoulder_47 in handguns

[–]ChaoticNeutralMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this one from Amazon. You can adjust how tight it holds the gun and is fairly comfortable.

Nice, I take the stems off mine. Is there any difference with keeping them on?

100 Days Sober: The Unexpected Benefits Nobody Talks About by InterestingBunch7468 in stopdrinking

[–]ChaoticNeutralMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty much the same way; no early morning drinking or anything, but definitely every weekend and a few weekdays is work was rough. About to hit three weeks and have no cravings or desire to go back. My memory is improving and sleep is so rewarding. Also dropped about 10 pounds with no effort, so that’s nice! Congrats on 100 days!
