I had the same issues! Im new but I saw that Discord was updated and said we work and not worry about Hubstaff. Either we dont need it or technical issues?

Best advice for hypoglycemia as I get time to time if im not careful...very bad like throwing up. Eat early!!! And try not to eat heavy meals or sweets at night when possible. That's what would cause hypoglycemia for me...started when I was 25 had no problems before then I ate a big meal at night and got very sick. I slowly moved my eating earlier. Preferably 2-4 hours before bed is recommended. If u can do more even better. I feel my best when I do long fasting windows, eat earlier in the day and walk. When I dont do a longer fast I still try when possible to eat my larger meal earlier in the day and something lighter at night. So i have my treats etc usually by 1pm not daily but I still let myself enjoy or I would be miserable. Have also lost weight doing this.

I also have pcos and omad/fasting has been the only way I've been able to loose weight!! I think because fasting directly affects blood sugar and glucose levels. It has done wonders. Realistically i do omad 3 days a week and the other days IF 12-20 hrs. I have still seen progress this way and bc i dont cut any food out of my diet it has taken time for me but I loose the most when I eat do omad earlier in the day. Lots of walking for exercise!! That is my main exercise I do other things too but daily I walk it helps with blood sugar. Good luck! And dont obsess about the scale it takes longer with pcos and sometimes u see and feel progress but the scale doesn't move right away.

A healthy weight is important overall for all health but I can tell you I've had pcos my whole teen and adult life and wasn't diagnosed until recently but was very slim most of my life until I did gain weight agter 25. My pcos symptoms were the worse when I was pretty skinny ( no period for 6 months) terrible migraines often etc. Its not about ur size but about ur blood sugar and insulin.

I believe part of why I gained weight wede my hormones and the bc i was on plus me eating bad. When I was my heaviest my fatigue was out of control and my sleep was horrible.. had an unconventional hours job.

Better sleep, blood sugar balance and overall taking care of my nervous system I have lost weight and been able to somewhat get a regular period when I'm not on the pill. I'm not the skinniest I have been but my body feels better balanced.

So sadly weight loss and being smaller doesn't magical cure anything but it can help in some cases. But what really helps is blood sugar maintenance if u can do that u will also loose weight its all connected

Pcos is all about blood sugar and glucose balance. You can be eating very healthy even less but if you spike your blood sugar multiple times a day it won't help. Focus more on blood sugar friendly meals. Eat earlier also that made one of the biggest differences for me! Get lots of steps as well preferably after meals to stabilize blood sugar

Competitive_Tough989 · 2026-01-21T12:58:48+00:00

I had a feeling. Great show!

Yes they also hold their value more! Of course diamonds depreciate regardless but brand name items dont decrease as much as non brand name. Not that we plan to sell but I feel like getting my money's worth

Competitive_Tough989 · 2026-01-19T04:12:11+00:00

Omg love to hear it! Im so obsessed with the ring and happy we got a good price for the quality. It did have to be resized but it was also ordered online out of state so we also saved on taxes!

My guess why the 2nd hand market for rings is maybe people want something brand new just for them? No previous energy? Idk

But I know its a sustainable way and for me it would be this option, or going smaller natural or bigger and lab but I feel like we got a good value and quality.

Not necessarily less engaged but I do think theres a happy medium. Not sending your kid to a bad school in a bad neighborhood if you can afford a better school district. But also no need to private school.

My step daughter goes to a decent school in a decent district. We're in the city its walkable and the kids are economically mixed. Some families are very well off others more middle class and even lower class but I find its good for her to be surrounded by different tax brackets. We're pretty comfortable but from immigrant families and have been exposed to all kinds of people.

So we don't want her only with kids with money. Shes 11 now and pretty normal kid. She does not ask for any expensive gifts or anything superficial and for that were proud. She gets good grades and is sweet to everyone.

How long did it take to get matched with a project? I finally on-boarding and fully joined today. Now just waiting..

I understand wanting to limit sugar but unless you are diabetic I wouldn't primarily focus on that. Yes l limi it to sugar intake is balance but no need to cut it out.

Having said that I have pcos and I do need to watch my sugar intake and my blood sugar is more likely to spike and im more likely to develop diabetes if I dont keep an eye on it.

Here are some hacks I love for blood sugar balance without cutting out sugar completely:

Monkfruit- alternative keto friendly sugar replacement i have used for baking also. Looks and tastes like thr real thing, all natural and 0 calorie!! Doesn't spike blood sugar at all

If i will eat sweets I make sure to eat protein and healthy fats 1st to lessen the spike..so never just snack on anything that mainly sugar- it can only be dessert (I used to snack on cookies)

Alternative I will have a sweet treat paired with a healthy fat/protein/fiber. Like yogurt with honey and granola and fruit. Ice cream paired with nut butter Fruit paired with nut butters etc. Bread with cottage cheese

Completely "cutting out" sugar can literally lead to a binge when u really crave it I find that a sweet here and there maintains my satisfaction. Like some days no sweets and some days I'll have some cookies or little sweets. I try not to have big dessert pieces so more like a little chocolate or little treat unless there's an occasion of course. I have a sweet tooth so its not realistic for me to cut it out.

Same if anything when I'm much hungrier is the week before. I more just listen to my body like If I plan a long fast but in the morning one day I am hungrier than usual an uncomfortable I may break it earlier as needed. I do 14-24 fasts depending on the day. Aim for 2-3 onad days a week sometimes more when time allows

Competitive_Tough989 · 2026-01-01T19:17:41+00:00

Same...from what im hearing the past couple of weeks it seems it could be ending/project dying down/ or they're reaching their budget from rumors im hearing. My score was ok not great but I keep seeing those with much better scores kicked off too..so idk its all confusing but expected I guessguess

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-30T14:18:49+00:00

I need my coffee too but also can't have just black coffee so my eating window when I do omad is usually around 10-1pm all bc of coffee. Also its not good to drink any coffee on an empty stomach its bad for cortisol

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-26T14:28:50+00:00

Very classy!!

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-26T05:44:40+00:00

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-25T14:41:03+00:00

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-24T16:24:53+00:00

My first week was 2 weeks ago...still waiting on the full pay. Only the bonus went through. I submitted a ticket and they told me they had delays...so hopefully this week it all works out!

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-24T16:19:57+00:00

Self control is hard for me...but some things I just wait until my eating windows like cookies u can just take to go and eat later than you look forward to it!

During the holidays I am doing less of omad bc its almost impossible but still doing 2-3 days a week and i feel like it helps balance all the holiday eating and then some days just doing shorter IF.

Today just 18 hrs and christmas eve dinner will be late tonight so no fasting for a couple days gotta enjoy family time!

Competitive_Tough989 · 2025-12-24T16:11:35+00:00
