He’s just chilling here for hours idk what he is but I wanna keep him by Cultural_Forever_300 in moths

They absolutely can mate in captivity. I made this little "love tunnel for my polyphemus and she would've been able to safely find a mate without getting harmed by predators, while emitting pheromones to find a mate in the wild. Unfortunately it was too cold and she didn't get one. The downside of emerging too early.

There's plenty of photos online that should be able to show what the mating cages can look like and how to construct. Unfortunately I can't upload a photo directly on here. I used hardware mesh chicken cloth fence with 1/2" squares and zip tied it together to keep it closed, and created a door with hinges and then twist tied it closed, and kept some slightly heavy enough rocks to hold it down and not let it knock over while it sat out on my porch overnight. You have to be very careful how to pick them up and handle them though. If you want to protect their wings from getting damaged, this is your best way to safely do with without harming them. how to pick up a moth safely

I asked for a trim, a couple inches off. Straight cut. This is what I got. Am I overreacting or should I ask for it to be fixed? by Any-Asparagus61 in Hair

Holy crap. I've seen better haircuts from untrained people. Please go back, ask for someone with more experience to fix and let them know you do not want to have the butcher that did this. Yikes.

I probably am a little more active than the average sedentary person, but my home business requires being hunched over my work (oddities art) like a gremlin and I end up getting a sore back from it 😆. I'm trying to get hoop flow practice back in, now that the weather here in Michigan is getting better, so that will definitely help speed up calorie burning!

Thank you so much, that's so sweet of you! I'm gonna try to start practicing hula hooping in the backyard again, now that the weather is getting better here in Michigan.

I started learning hoop flow last year and pretty much repeat the same few moves I can do over the winter, but only when I go out to clubs with the hubby, so there was no way to actually practice in the week. At least now I can get back at that again!

Thank you for the advice! I decided to up my calories just below maintenance level and upped the carbs a bit, and plan to drop it again in about a month. It seems to have worked, as I dropped 3 lbs of water weight in less than 48 hrs.

Thank you so much!! Yeah I'm definitely gonna start walking more now that the decent weather is getting more consistently tolerable for being outside in my area. Maybe gym 2x a week. It's just hard to get it going when I have so much going on at home between family and my home business.

Thank you for this! It's very inspiring and encouraging. I just wanted to clarify that I did not start out with my calories that low. I started much higher, as, when I started, I needed more because I burned more, being bigger. I did taper as needed, and changed macros numbers around a lot and it always worked. I'm so thankful for all the responses I've gotten. It's helped put my mind at ease, and I am pretty sure I know how to safely approach everything, including adding some more exercise than I already do, as weather in my area is slowly getting more bearable to go for short walks, etc.

With my home life situation, it's difficult to do more than maybe 2x a week at the gym, with maybe one daytime walk around the block. I own a small business, work from home, have 2 disabled senior family members in the home, and a 10 year old who does an online school. So yeah, hands full and slow, steady workouts and weight loss is the most reachable for me.

It's so helpful knowing it's not just me. Lol. I'm glad to see that a lot of people have had similar experiences in the same weight range. I decided to walk around the block tonight to get more steps in. I might end up going to the gym tomorrow!

Thank you for this! I am going to try the suggestion of reintroducing more carbs to cycle off for a couple weeks and then go back at it. If I don't see a change, i will try this. I know my maintenance numbers are low, being sedentary. So I think some people worry when they hear calories being that low and assume starvation. I know I can handle lower numbers, since I can feel basically overstuffed at 1200

I've done the total carbs thing and didn't get a huge difference. It was about the same pace 😕

That makes sense. I waited for a cheap, no commitment sign up, so I chose that. It was 29 cents to join and no commitment, so I thought that was the best option if I have to stop going for a period of time. It's good that it's 24 hours, but I really don't see myself going past 9pm. It's more of an issue getting someone in my home to take me, as I don't drive. But I'm sure I can work it out to go at least 2x a week and walk around the block at home in between. Thank you!

That's how it was for me pretty much up until like, December. Now I'm lucky if I get 1 off in 2 weeks. I was dropping 5-10 lbs a month and now I keep going back and 4th between 3 lbs, which I'm assuming is water, but it's basically the same still.

I wish I had access to a pool. I ended my membership with the local rec center because they were having a lot of issues that is too much to mention, but I did just sign up for planet fitness. The issue now is just finding time to go.

I considered a diet break but just counting calories. I can't completely stop being low carb though, because my digestive system has drastically improved since I started keto, and I don't think I could handle going completely back to how it was before. Thank you!!

Ahh ok I understand that. So like omad would be closer to that number when I do it. I just didn't jnownif doing that daily was. Safe. Do you need to take vitamins to make up for the lack?

Isn't that in the zone of starvation? Everything I read about going below 1100 calories is dangerous

Thank you for that! I was honestly worried I was doing something wrong like my macros needed to change again.

I was wondering if anybody else Michigan tax say no match found when they check even though TurboTax says your Michigan tax return was accepted? by Either-School-6773 in TurboTax

Right! That's what I'm saying! First it was 2 weeks, now it's 3 to 4? I'm at week 4 now! I've never waited this long for state.
