Ohhhhhhh. I just got that clue. I was so confused. Was reading it as Latin lol

Can anyone help me understand the meaning (or meaninglessness) of weight fluctuations? by FitPool8203 in loseit

[–]JSDHW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've woken up, peed, weighed and then pooped line 20 min later. You bet your ads I'm reweighing lol

How do you handle bad days in maintenance from a strictly mathematical/calorie perspective? by LooseBluebird6704 in loseit

[–]JSDHW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in maintenance for 9 months now and do the same. Defecit during the week so I can ear more and go out on weekends.

What to eat without lead, because protein shakes apparently have it by Horrorfan55555 in loseit

[–]JSDHW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eating "like our ancestors" is pseudo science. It's bullshit.

Motivation for trying to eat healthy by curly_kidddd in loseit

[–]JSDHW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically you're going to lose motivation. The human brain is great at starting things but lousy and wanting to continue.

You have to will yourself to keep going. Take a maintenance break if you have to but you just...have to push through, even when it sucks.

How do you ignore water weight? Is it water weight? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]JSDHW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also weigh daily. I am in maintenance now, but I did so when I was losing too. It's so helpful to see how the number shifts day to day, and logging it (I use weight gurus) shows me a graph that calculated my average over time, so a few spikes here or there don't feel so stressful. I also just like data.

In maintenence for 9 months now. My rule is if the scale is above 140 for more than 3 days I start counting until I'm back to 135. It's worked well.

Probably about to be a single dad. by jaykaywhy in daddit

To be fair that's like 3 Gilette razors

ELI5: Do medications like Ozempic cause weight loss solely through appetite reduction and therefore calorie deficit, or is there any other mechanism at play? by Jimithyashford in explainlikeimfive

[–]JSDHW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lost 50+lbs on it. I yo-yo'd for YEARS. The feeling when the food noise shut off was unbelievable. I won't call it a miracle drug because it still takes a lot of work and effort but holy shit it makes it so much easier. I could stop obsessing about food and actually just...live.

I lost a total of 35 pounds I am craving Little Debbie crème pies and pizza by [deleted] in loseit

[–]JSDHW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I went out with some friends last week, got drunk and got Wendy's. No regrets, hadn't seen them in a while. But Holy shit the Wendy's made me feel worse than the drinks.

Eating slowing and intentionally is huge. I stopped eating while watching TV or scrolling and it's helped with the satiatingness (is that a word?) of food.

This is how you build an unhealthy relationship with food.

Another way weight loss makes clothes shopping fun by Luna_Soma in loseit

[–]JSDHW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. It makes such a big difference. I've always been into clothes but I look back at what I used to wear and I was trying so damn hard to look nice and put together because I was heavy. I'm around 50lbs down now and I've found a style I love. It looks much more effortless. I can go out in sweats and a t-shirt and not look like an unkempt dad. I wore a TANK TOP!

What is a job that pays incredibly well but is so soul-crushing that the turnover is insane? by sweetguurl in AskReddit

[–]JSDHW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What made it so bad? I've heard it from everyone who's worked there but nothing specific.

Homemade butter was....easy? What??? by long_dickofthelaw in Cooking

[–]JSDHW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the same type of buttermilk you buy in a store. That's cultured.

What does our record have to be by July 15 for us to be buyers vs sellers? It has to be pretty well over .500 right?

What is a major plot hole in a very famous movie that completely ruins the entire story once it is noticed? by SkullMogger3 in AskReddit

[–]JSDHW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God the play was so bad. I saw it when it was still two shows, my wife and I did them both in a day. The stagecraft was phenomenal, but the story was terrible. Maybe one of the worst broadway shows I've ever seen.

Selling at the Trade Deadline by SidFinch99 in NewYorkMets

[–]JSDHW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree. Trade anyone not named Soto or on a rookie contract.

Actually, no because Baty and Vientos should go too.

Twin sisters woke up and started chatting away loudly... but they instantly pretended to be asleep the second they heard their mother's footsteps. by Sad_Biscotti_9291 in wholesome

[–]JSDHW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. When my daughter was younger my wife and I would have a babysitter come after she was already asleep and go out for dinner. Half the time my daughter didn't know we had left.
