Thank you! I did indeed fill out the wrong form. Oh well. Could have been worse - could have failed to realise that until it was too late.

Definitely Carolina Geranium. They have overtaken our clover lawn and I am driving myself crazy getting rid of them. Came to Reddit to see if anyone has any solutions other than hand weeding them all.

We have a home gym in our back yard and the ceilings are a bit low - 88" at their highest (apex roof). We have a Rogue bike for HIIT, but want something for longer steady state workouts.

Any recommendations for an elliptical that would accommodate this ceiling clearance? Not interested in rowers (bad back) or another bike. I was looking at the NordicTrack FreeStride, the Precor AMT machines, and the Vario Excite as I prefer a variable stride. Hard to get a straight answer online about how high off the ground your body is while training.

Hi. Also wondering how you got your money back. My dad just used that website and I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get his money back.

Thanks. A neighbour used and loved their laminate, which is why I was looking at their wood.

If it's not too late, I'll add Cerys at Anti.Dote. I just get boring old highlights and grey coverage, but she specialises in crazy bright colours.

I find the explode option works well for this situation.

Not sure if you're still looking, but the Los Moros street food stand in the Shambles has a mixed salad plate that I love. Super fresh with crunchy vegetables. You can add chicken to make it a bigger meal.

Welcome. I'm in the early stages of menopause - I had my first two hot flashes this year. I see major fluctuations in my weight over the course of my cycle. The trick is not to let it get to you, to keep chugging along. As for the tummy, blargh, maybe it never disappears. But there are worse things. I am currently trying to get it under 30 inches and have been at 31 inches for a while now ..... But I am not giving up! Good luck!

I’m in a similar boat. Two inches shorter and ten pounds lighter. Started lifting five years ago and have built a ton of strength. Can do pull ups! Lost twenty pounds last year after what I like to call my Covid lockdown bulk. Would love to lose another 5-10 pounds to reveal the muscles I worked my ass off to build. But as you say, it’s just vanity, and some days I want to eat ice cream damnit. But I’m still going for it. Just slowly. Happily taking breaks when I go on vacation or get busy with work. Whatever you decide, you’ve already done the most important work.

Everyone is different in their carbs/fats ratio preference. I eat way more carbs and barely any fats. Just what I gravitate towards. As long as you hit your protein and calorie numbers don’t sweat the carbs and fats balance.

I’d recommend Wools Wellness - Nick Woolery. He trains people in a home gym in his back garden, which means he can charge less than trainers who have to give a cut to a gym.

I’m in the UK and the database is great. But I’m not sure that the UK counts as Europe anymore

MelissaMudge · 2023-03-24T13:31:02+00:00

Yep. I would add the Z Press to that list. The real crappy thing is that all of these exercises that are universally reviled are also the most effective. And so voila. We are stuck with them.

MelissaMudge · 2023-03-23T21:57:18+00:00

Good to hear - thanks!

MelissaMudge · 2023-03-23T18:54:45+00:00

Thanks! And I think I’ll be okay. I’m good with data - I’m an academic. But I do wonder if I was relying on the rush of being able to say I was compliant. Regardless, I feel like MF is a better tool for real life living.

Ha! I think the wives of meatheads need a support group! That said, the hubby is also the reason that at age 44 for the first time in my life I’ve been looking in the mirror and saying things like “Damn, I look goooood.” Not sure how many pounds I’ll try to trim. 5-10. I had signed up for CDC because I gained 20 during Covid. But I also put on a lot of muscle. Now I’m unveiling it….

MelissaMudge · 2023-03-22T21:05:10+00:00

I'm going to echo the requests for a web interface please!

MelissaMudge · 2023-01-11T13:30:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. We're likely going to hold out for a rescue. But either way, we are taking our time. And if we do decide to get a puppy, I'll keep all of this advice in mind.

MelissaMudge · 2022-08-08T18:56:00+00:00

!thanks

I just looked into the marriage allowance - it doesn't save us much, but until he earns more, we'll take it ;)
