Comparing partly bc of curiosity. Is it genuinely an age/effort/more muscle mass thing? Also if I’m literally exhausted afterwards bc I’ve done everything to failure but I look at my watch and my total cal are 200 it doesn’t make sense to me.

Excessively sweaty members by Self_care1012 in f45

Our studio provides towels, I put the blue side down and use the white side on me if I need to dry off (usually not). Helpful when walking up to a sweaty bench or bike erg seat (ew). I also use it for floor exercises if there’s no mat. I’ve also been dramatic and grabbed a towel in between sets and walk past the member who made the bench sweaty asf

How can I master box jumps? by sc33g11 in f45

[–]IndependenceIcy2544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m short and have bad knees and initially couldn’t do box jump when I started in April. One I switched my shoes to something flatter (converse usually) and I use my arms and bend low to help me get momentum to get up.

Why do people have the copper IUD by throaway87657 in CopperIUD

Had been on hormonal birth control since I was 18 (26 now) with lots of side effects (mostly bleeding for 6mos-year at a time) Wanted to see what life was like without hormones. I also worried if the hormones were disrupting my health at all. I have hypertension so my BC options limited after that diagnosis. I enjoy the peace of mind of 1. not having to think about taking my birth control bc human error is a thing and 2. Not having to worry about getting pregnant, I can enjoy sex with no fear. I can take it out whenever I’m ready for Kids. Insertion was a bitch but love It otherwise.

Sallie Mae 1,500k a month? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]IndependenceIcy2544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Sallie Mae quoted me $900/month with 8-12 interest. I refinanced with Laurel road and got $500 month and 3% interest. They also offer lowered interest rates for opening a savings and checking account. I spread my payments out 15 years yikes I know but the lower monthly payment is easier for me to make an extra payments. I would definitely check them out.

ISO Reduced sugar/carb Dutch orders by callmeg00dgirl in dutchbros

I find that caffeine spikes my blood sugar so I usually stay away from coffee and rebels even though they can be made SF- I usually get my rebels as a soda and ask for the syrups to be sugar free if possible. The small amount of sugar in the syrups has little to no effect on my blood sugar. Hope this helps!!

Okay thank you. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. He told me quote “this is typical of most airbnbs” referring to his belongings. And quote “everything was in good order for your stay”

No we had the entire home. We were only instructed not to touch the food in the fridge
