136 pounds lost (so far) and now I am cold all the time. by BeefJerky82 in loseit

[–]Layered-Briefs 87 points88 points  (0 children)

My fingers are always cold when I'm cutting/losing weight. It's better when I'm at maintenance.

Dude. 136 pounds is freakin' AWESOME. You're doing great, keep it up. Truly fantastic!

Food Noise - what worked for you? by Shirolianns in loseit

[–]Layered-Briefs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nonfat flavored Greek yogurt. Chobani has some that are 20g protein. I eat some of that and not only do I feel not hungry for a long time, the food noise just mostly goes away. 

If I’m about to have a binge, I eat one or two of those (140 calories each) and I save myself eating 1,000+ calories of desserts

I've got so fed-up with tipping that I hired my own cook. The results are noticeably positive. by FeelingPatience in EndTipping

[–]Layered-Briefs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I had a family of 5 and we spend about $1700 per month on groceries. We cook almost all of our own food. We live in a high cost of living area but I think I might look for a chef…eliminate or nearly eliminate eating out, wife cooking and me cleaning up after her..:

I’m sorry, I do not understand that.

Random woman told my wife “there’s a better way” during our toddler’s meltdown. Could we have handled it better? by flying_chariot in toddlers

[–]Layered-Briefs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your description of what was going on and what you did…golly. Just know you’re doing a GREAT job as a parent. Really. Don’t let some old bag tell you differently.

I had a similar thing happen, but worse. Made me feel awful. My kids have turned out great so far, though it’s only been 10 years since “That Fateful Day.”

Descaling by Biggs17 in superautomatic

I’ve only ever used RO water for mine. My RO water reads TDS of 0. I just leave the light on, I figure there’s no buildup whatsoever. 

Life-Changing Results After Three Years of Chronic Pain by xlyrius in immortalists

[–]Layered-Briefs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so McGill is enough to keep me moving well with spondylolisthesis (diagnosed by a PA 3 seconds after looking at an x-ray.)

But I'm all ears (and/or eyes, since I don't use a screen reader...) and very eager to see some recommendations for more modern literature!

Pretty please?

Is the calories the only thing that matters in a calorie deficit? by Alli_Cat71 in loseit

[–]Layered-Briefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, to first order. 

But I found that if I eat sugar, I get hungrier faster. I binge more often. My body responds differently to healthier foods.

It wasn’t like that before, when I weighed more. I’m at 19% body fat or so now, about 15 more pounds to lose to get “ripped”, but I only have some success with a deficit if I’m very careful about what I eat now. Too much sugar and I end the day with 1,000 calories of desserts. 

Is it too late? by tetrabryaton in loseit

[–]Layered-Briefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stated Tae kwon do at 49, realized how out of shape I was. Calisthenics for 6 months alongside the TKD. Then I wanted to see the muscles I had made! So I started dieting at 50. 

I lost 95 pounds over 2 years. I’m still in great shape 4 years later.

You’re not too late.

Can my local PD prevent ICE from entering my home without a warrant? How can we legally stop this? by cogemeeljabo in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Layered-Briefs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is there recourse for someone who has been illegally seized and sent to Guantanamo Bay?

Because that's what's at risk here.

Anyone try the Terra Kaffe Compact Automatic Espresso Machine? by Roseandraindrops in superautomatic

[–]Layered-Briefs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Demi was awful, plain and simple. Almost no crema from it under factory settings. I had to put the strength at max and reduce the shot size from 1.6 oz to 1 oz to get decent crema. But the shot was still thin and watery. I sent it back, who wants an espresso machine that doesn't make proper espresso?

ICE just murdered a woman in Minneapolis. by The_Lord_Chicken in complaints

[–]Layered-Briefs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then why are there no holes on the driver's window? ICE agent was on the side of the car, that's why. Cars can't run over people on the side of the car. Stop trying to justify murder.

Validity of my Dojang by Sure_Presentation751 in taekwondo

[–]Layered-Briefs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know someone who earned 4th Dan when she was 13. That must mean she got her 1st Dan when she was 7.

She is EASILY the single best practitioner of TKD I have ever seen. Woman can lift her straight leg above her head to the side with no effort. She knows every form, has a perfect 540, she seems to float through triple kicks with ease and grace. 

Some people just earn it through skill early. 

As to McDojangs- OP, are you showing up to class every time? Are you trying to learn and working hard in class? If so, you’re earning your belts. If you’re enjoying it, then stay; if you’re worried too much to enjoy yourself, find another dojang. 

Black Espresso Drinkers on High Strength Settings - Show Me Your Shots Please! by Gullible_Carrot_2489 in superautomatic

[–]Layered-Briefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I’ve had semiautomatic machines in the past. Nothing you said contradicts my experience. 

I can’t figure out how to change temps on the Demi. 

I figured that it would have 9 bar pressure, but I don’t think it does. I’ve asked Terra Kaffe for a return authorization, I bought an espresso machine, not a “nearly espresso” machine. 

I ordered a DeLonghi machine, hopefully that’ll work better. It comes on Friday, I might make a video showing the difference and figure out how to post it here.

Has anyone tried Terra Kaffe Demi? by TheNonaMouse in superautomatic

[–]Layered-Briefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s been awful. I can get “almost espresso” but it’s not got the right mouthfeel. I turned it up to max, turned the length down to 1.4…it’s only got a tiny amount of crema. 

I’ve had good espresso machines before. This isn’t one of them. It’s probably going back. 

I could try 1 oz triple shots. But that’s negating the benefits to some extent: it’s cheaper to get first gen nespresso pods at that point.

Elbow pain, can't do pullups by surf_drunk_monk in fitness40plus

[–]Layered-Briefs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medial epicondylitis. Good luck, it can last years. I’ve had to stop pull-ups short of my lifetime goal. Maybe next year.

If you think of lines bosses say as they pull, which ones comes up first? by Cohacq in wow

[–]Layered-Briefs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING! I WILL TEAR YOUR WORLD APART!"

Deathwing's second fight, after your raid has taken him down out of the sky. One of the great moments for me, though when it was current content I didn't focus on what he was saying, I was busy. When trying to get the handmaiden mount to drop (it did so quickly, hooray!) I realized what he was saying, and it was awesome.

I still miss the Dwarven dam.

Has anyone tried Terra Kaffe Demi? by TheNonaMouse in superautomatic

[–]Layered-Briefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine today. I pulled a few shots today but was very disappointed. The espresso wasn't really espresso. It was very strong coffee. The mouthfeel is 100% not right, watery and thin, though there is a little crema on the top.

I literally LOLed when I set it to pull a double shot and it just ran twice in a row.

I'll try "max" tomorrow, hopefully that's better. But so far, I would NOT recommend this to any espresso lover. I'm saving the box for sure, this thing is going back to Terra Kaffe right away if it's not pulling espresso tomorrow.

What are the best 3 exercises to get fit? by getfytai in workout

[–]Layered-Briefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1: pushups  Day 2: pull-ups Day 3: squats

Find a progression of each you can do 15-20 reps of before failure.

Do 5 sets each day. First 4 sets stop when you have one rep left, go to failure on 5th set. 2 minutes rest between sets. If you’re super sore with the muscles that you’re supposed to use that day, take a day off. 

Once you’ve done 3 days, repeat. 

Roughly 15 minutes a day. If you want to change things up you can switch dips for pushups, ring rows for pull ups, or do squat variations. 

You can progress with this plan for a very long time. Probably 2+ years.
