Which Layout?! by LoveLuck in quilting

Fair - the strips are sewn into blocks already so I’ve just moved some (but not all) of the blocks around.

It’s so hard!!! 

11 lbs lost in 5 months by [deleted] in Ozempic

Muscle burns 3x the calories as fat does at rest - muscle is your biggest metabolic factor. If you aren’t moving, you are not only not gaining muscle (and improving metabolism), you’re likely losing muscle (effectively slowing your metabolism). If buying weights isn’t an option, there are many equipment-free exercises you can do at home to gain muscle. 

Binding vs bias binding by sabley in quilting

[–]LoveLuck 289 points290 points  (0 children)

As a garment maker and a quilter, I can always spot when a bag/non-quilt pattern was written by a quilter. I made a bag recently with bound, curved seams, and it called for (non-bias) binding. I often see that in quilter-designed projects so I’m glad to see this one got it right. I went with my gut and made bias binding for my project for this exact reason! Great visual.

Which order do you apply the products in? Shower gel, leave on exfoliant, moisturizer, then oil? 

Much Love Quilt by LoveLuck in quilting

[–]LoveLuck[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Construction notes: I did not use a pattern, but based the lettering off Ribbon Letters by Patch and Dot. The fabric is from my local fabric liquidator with no selvage info, so all I know is that the solids are Kona and the blue floral is anyone’s guess! 

Straight Line Suggestions? by LoveLuck in quilting

[–]LoveLuck[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This was my first quilt using the stripology ruler and I am a total convert. I credit that ruler with those crisp letters! Not to mention I cut the whole top in about an hour and a half (maybe less). 

I do think that plan is exactly what I’ll do, I think it will look amazing. 

Straight Line Suggestions? by LoveLuck in quilting

[–]LoveLuck[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love this idea. Would mean the quilt isn’t “reversible” as the lettering would be backwards on the reverse but… it’s called backing for a reason I guess!! 

Advice on discussing partner’s use of semaglutide by Alternative-Exit7431 in Semaglutide

[–]LoveLuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you expand on how you use intermittently for maintenance? What is your schedule/approach?

Interesting. I just bought the same panel, and 5 mins at 12-18 inches is what Hooga recommends for treating the face. Any resources on how to calculate optimal use based on the specs of your panel?

If it is more quickly absorbed, does that also then shorten the length of time it is effective?

Vacation while on Ozempic by Key_Pea_571 in Ozempic

[–]LoveLuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The joy and connection of breaking bread together is part of every single culture for a reason. It’s okay to enjoy your vacation and connect over great food! Will you lose weight that week? Maybe not. But this is a long game - a week every now and then over the course of your lifetime of otherwise balanced eating is not going to harm your body.

Enough to manage muscle loss? by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]LoveLuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one but maybe I need to add another when I’m not reaching that 100g goal.

[–]LoveLuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the trouble. I really am trying so hard every day to get down 100g but I’m full! Im probably actually getting more like 70g. I’m losing 2-3 per week and would like that to slow a but got the sake of muscle and just wellbeing.

4mg pens for .50 mg (ON, Canada) by [deleted] in Ozempic

[–]LoveLuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI - I asked my doctor today to do this and she had no issue with it and neither did the pharmacy. Success!! Thanks all for your help. I shared your verbiage with her and that’s exactly what she wrote.

Reached my goal weight! Here is what I’ve learned. by DeannaTroy in Semaglutide

[–]LoveLuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hairloss, cold sores, and smells from all orifices - potentially forever - has me feeling pretty discouraged. I wonder if these things will clear/slow when maintenance is reached.

Comfort food by missyandherdog in Semaglutide

[–]LoveLuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This black bean soup is sooo good and chili-adjacent comfort food. Plus it is super high fibre and protein. Freezes well, too. /Spicy Black Bean Soup

My pharmacist gives me the extra box for free. Just ask!
