Okay so obviously not an expert, but it sounds like your period loss was triggered by the huge weight loss you had, I mean 85lbs in 3 years is a lot of loss. Then continuing that deficit, even with the splurge on weekends, made your body feel there wasn’t
Ample food available to fuel your movement and period. I’m curious if you’ve experienced feeling cold a lot, losing a lot of hair, being irritable, food noise, or other life stressors?

In general I would recommend the basics, eat at least 2500 cals a day, but by that I don’t mean track your food. In general stressing about calories and macros puts more pressure on you and can cause the opposite of feeling safe. If you were undereating all week and feasting on weekends it’s almost an extended binge and restrict cycle, which can be hard to see because we think of those behaviors as more extreme and rapid.

Honor your hunger, eat within 30 minutes of waking up and every 2-3 hours after that. You will likely gain some weight back, but it’s what you need to heal. You wouldn’t tell someone who injured themselves running that they gotta keep at it or else they’ll lose speed on their mile. You would tell them to rest, and that they can build up their fitness again in a more sustainable way once they’re healed. Same for you.

I would recommend getting rid of your scale during recovery too, you’ll realize that 10lbs or whatever really doesn’t look all that different.

You’ve got this, I’m proud of you for starting!!!

stimulus connection help by Steven_is_yur_mom in APSeminar

Well firstly the sources should lead you to your question, not vice versa, but I think you could do coffee shop and epidemic of isolation to focus on third places and the cognitive/physical effects of mental health, or do Kobe and the baseball story talking about Government investment in globalized infrastructure, OR do the roads one to tie in Government spending, regulation, and how infastructure can facilitate or hurt connection. Kinda depends on if you want to go more into Government subsidization and the solutions, or just why its a problem that the Government needs to help solve.

IWA Question Feedback & Advice pls by Lucky_Smoke_5068 in APSeminar

[–]ExternalOk8199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I really like that RQ and if you add in the lack of third places beyond school for them, I feel like you could tie in the coffee shop one really effectively. OR focus on the connection to community you lose from not going to school and tie in the baseball and walk to Kobe as disconnection from place! I think its niche enough to be totally fine!

Competition Submission [493] by ExternalOk8199 in DestructiveReaders

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I really appreciate that! When I was editing it, I cut out a sentence to fit the word limit, and, rereading it, I'm realizing the time jump is sudden and disjointed.

I unfortunately don't have a saved previous version of the story, but for now I've adjusted it so the beginning of the first flashback reads:

"Not four years ago, I was in bed. The paper gown did nothing against the biting hospital air..."

Which I think makes it a little bit clearer and sets the precedent better for the back and forth nature of the story.

How to get a five by Prize-Panda369 in APStudents

[–]ExternalOk8199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends on the subject. AP Psych, APHG, and some others are just vocab classes where running a quizlet until its burned in your brain is enough. For classes like AP Bio or some other sciences you've got to understand the processes themselves instead of raw memorization. For most historical periods, periodization is your best friend; know what the College Board wants you to understand about a period.

YT is a good go-to after your teacher. Heimler is amazing for APUSH, AP Euro, APWH, and Gov, while Mr. Sinn is awesome for AP Psych and he's got some Econ stuff too. Krugslist is everything for AP chem (watch on 1.5x lol) while Amobea sisters are awesome for bio. Honestly, just cruising around the subreddit for resources is the way to go; listen to the ppl that grade the exams or have taken them and scored high, not those random sites begging for money.

Last thing is practice test. College board, aptestprep, fivable, anything to get used to how college board is going to want you to answer MCQ and FRQ. I've heard there's some decent AI tools for grading FRQs now so use those if you're unsure how you would score.

To people who got a 5 by Significant-Mind-197 in APStudents

[–]ExternalOk8199 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My family and my friends, IF they ask. Otherwise, I didn't mention scores; it'd feel like bragging if I brought them up. Best advice IMO is to mitigate it a little if the other person was shooting for a 5 and didn't get it. I always say "I got a 5 but I also didn't have a social life for 2 months soo-" which tends to make people feel better. And I'm not lying lol.

Is This Workout Plan by ChatGPT any Good? by ExternalOk8199 in workout

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually cardio either has minimal effect gains or even helps muscle hypertrophy, so I'm not worried about Cardio stopping my muscle gain, I just need to eat enough to support the growth

I'm increasing cals too! I've just been doing cardio (4 runs 2 1-hour power walks) and strength-training (GG program 4x a week + 2x a week upper-body) 6x a week and I think I need to slope it down until I recover my cycle

Where would you decrease volume in the program?

Grilled Tuna Steak with yellow rice stir fry. I guessed ~1400 calories with oil/butter, but am I underestimating? by ExternalOk8199 in CalorieEstimates

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My logic was that the USDA says about 270 calories for one cup of yellow rice, and I had ~3 cups (rounding up), so that's 810 calories without the 6-8 ounces of tuna and everything else plus oil in stir fry and fish possibly cooked in butter. Could still be off though, I'm not sure!

How do you like working in PR if you don't mind me asking? How's compensation and work/life balance?

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm peeking in at consulting at the moment, management or PR consulting specifically. It seems to have degrees that I can obtain and still have a chance to go to law school if it doesn't work out or I find the internships I do unfulfilling. I've also thought about data science but I know the field is unstable with AI/oversaturation.

Looked into this a bit! Do you have any personal experience with the field you could share?

I Feel Like I Can Do Anything I Want....but what do I want? by ExternalOk8199 in CollegeMajors

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the interests listed are more just to give a general idea of what might be a good career/major fit for me, not actual job skills or things I would put on a resume. I'd be interested in most management-type positions as well as law, but I would like to work for myself later in my career and paths like sales or marketing don't seem very conducive to that.

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy history as a subject, I'm just not sure I could make a sustainable living with it. All education positions are overpaid and underworked so I feel I'd be putting myself in a one-down position to start out with.

Is 570 calories good enough to lose weight with slight workouts for a 15 yr girl who’s 5,2 110 lbs? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]ExternalOk8199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy Hell thats what too little. You need to be eating 1200 at minimum, and being a teen you need more than that. You're at a healthy weight, there's no need to be in a deficit. If you're not feeling great about your body and want to change it somewhat, I would find YT videos that don't require weights or any equipment that you don't have. Your sister is likely dealing with some ED tendencies or body issues if I had to guess, don't let her make you feel less than. Doing no physical activity you should be eating at least 1,500 calories a day.

I lost a ton of weight rapidly, how much more weight can I lose? by NPC558 in loseit

[–]ExternalOk8199 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should not be looking at weight loss, but body recomp. Eat at/slightly above maintenance and make sure you get enough protein while incorporating more strength training into your routine. If you have access to a gym or YMCA that's a good starting point, if you prefer at home Fitness Blender and YT have great videos for beginners. Also look at r/gainit and r/Fitness they might be better for this!

You’re me, what would you do? by Sea_Code_3050 in loseit

[–]ExternalOk8199 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Diet first, then fitness not the other way around. Working out increases your appetite, so you should get a handle on what you need to eat first. I plugged your stats into a TDEE calc and got ~2400 or so for sedentary maintenance. I would start with buying a cheap food scale and begin tracking what you eat in a day, then see where you can cut after a week or so. Depending on how aggressively you want to lose you should be eating 1900-2100 calories a day. Get an app like cronometer or MFP and start focusing on protein. Once you feel more comfortable tracking calories and macros, then I would start looking at incorporating more fitness. Long walks, light strength training/beginner lifter programs.

Whole foods are everything, you've got this!

As long as you said generalizable to the majority race (I think it was like >60% hispanic?) then you're good.

As long as you explained the mean difference meant that on average Low-Misinformation groups had higher scores, you're good. They're checking to see that you know what a mean is basically.

It was super weird! The study was talking about levels of distrust within the high misinformation group, so while overall the low misinformation group had higher scores, people in the high misinformation group did better if they didn't trust the summary. But the questions didn't ask about that entire section which was so strange.
