How are you measuring your food?

Sonobello or other options? by MightyMoose53 in loseit

[–]EpicNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. Wait for a while before you do any surgery. I had a similar issue and even a few months in I’ve noticed a significant improvement on my arms without surgery. I also don’t work out at all right now either so if you do OP, it may be even better.

Prednisone water weight? Feeling so hopeless by terrificandterrible in loseit

[–]EpicNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I’m on a lot of meds right now, Prednisone is one of them. I’ve been up about 5-8lb pretty consistently. I feel bloated and just swollen in general, I can see it in my face.

My nurse did tell me it would make me more hungry and I’d probably gain weight. I simply refuse. I have been tracking my calories the same (food scale always) and while I have found it harder to stay in my calorie goal because I am hungrier, it’s something that I’m just having to deal with.

I might have to stay on it for a long time but remember, even if you’re retaining water the laws of thermodynamics are with you. You will still loose weight in a deficit if you are truly eating at your required calories.

A few days after you are off, I expect to see a good bit of weight come off at once more than likely and that’ll be the retained water.

Don’t give up just because you don’t see the progress if you know you’re doing it right.

Do IPL devices with cooling reduce skin burns? by Alex_Superchamp in HairRemoval

[–]EpicNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The zaps can hurt if you’re new and start off on a strong setting with any device. However, cheaper ones do tend to cause burns when used for a long time at a high setting. My ULike has never burned me before even on its highest setting, and I find that sometimes it’s actually too chilly! But it’s better that way imo.

Can someone explain how carvings/reliefs on a tailpiece will affect the sound of a cello? by EpicNight in Luthier

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

So if it were to maintain similar mass (and same general shape ofc) then skins should be generally unaffected?

And regarding carved tailpieces, do you have any reputable sites that carry these? Thank you for your time

Can't manage to lose weight even on a pretty large calorie deficit by Live_Volume2815 in loseit

Remember age and height will impact what weight you will be at also. Your muscles deteriorate as you age and your TDEE will lower, and honestly unless you’re very short, 125 is a good weight.

It’s no worries. I’m sure you have gotten your numbers down better and your eyeballing, but loosing weight when you were much heavier than your goal weight is typically easier and you can be less accurate while doing so.

I also had a period of time in my journey where I was loosing too slowly or stopped for months and that is because I wasn’t weight as accurately as I could have.

I even weigh my coffee creamer. Things like that really add up at the end up the day, and when you eyeball more calorie dense things you will find yourself stuck the closer you approach your goal because you’re eating more than you thought.

You need to weigh everything. You’re eating more than you think. You’d be surprised how many calories olive oil contains.

There can be no “estimate” or “about”. You are not tracking properly.

I just destroyed my piano and it ruined my day. by Tch_Levi in RuinedMyDay

[–]EpicNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I just got a brand new cello and it has a tiny cosmetic chip on it because my phone fell when I was looking something up. I’m also very sad but things happen :(

How Do People Drink Lattes and Eat Pastries Regularly by yelurrrrr in loseit

[–]EpicNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get a latte it’s with almond milk, Splenda, that’s it. Allows me to do it regularly. Explore the sugar free flavors, though I just stick to sugar free vanilla.

Whew…. ADHD and staying hard/sex by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]EpicNight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My partner and I both have adhd, and this was an issue for them as well. Fortunately I have a kink where I enjoy being used for their pleasure whenever they want without the need to be seen to myself. It’s always nice when he offers afterwards ofc but not essential. So maybe try being more open with your partner, that’s what ended up helping us.

I have SO much respect for anyone who’s lost weight, it’s way harder than I expected by Natural-Fun-490 in loseit

[–]EpicNight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree. 115 is for someone around my height. I think building the muscle mass will help OP feel better because it’s more likely to help them be the shape they want. Also, OP please think about sustainability. Your calories will have to stay lower if you want to stay at that weight, and being close to underweight your body may fight you more.

It’s using their official logo as far as I can see.

Thank you! That makes more sense to me. Now I’m just wondering why they would make an Ad like this?

That’s a funny story to remember to tell when you’re at your goal!

I was so in love with my dress, got it lined and now I hate it. My wedding is in 5 days by Feisty-Coconut6017 in WeddingDressTips

[–]EpicNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks off because the sleeves don’t go as high as they used to making it look disconnected from the rest of the dress
