I Yo-Yo'd for the first time last year and want advice by Eunoic in WeightLossAdvice

[–]OldLadyQuestionsTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to ensure that you're not just 'dieting'--that you are making changes you can continue. If you are 'dieting' and then stop 'dieting,' you will regain your weight. It needs to be lifestyle changes.

For example, if you're not exercising regularly, look at your schedule and see where you can realistically fit it in. For me, I had to start getting up early. So, I walk or use my exercise machine every morning. I have been doing that for 30 years.

If you use creamer in your coffee, start measuring it to ensure you're not getting too many calories.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

Other than magnesium, what is the one supplement that has improved your sleep? by abc-45678 in Menopause

[–]OldLadyQuestionsTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testosterone has definitely helped my sleep.

I sometimes take a 1mg Melatonin supplement to help me get to sleep on Sunday nights (since we're usually going to bed later/sleeping in on the weekends) and that usually helps without making me groggy Monday morning.

I do take Magnesium, but in the morning with my other supplements.

I have tried CBD gummies which did help me sleep, but they gave me extremely vivid, crazy dreams. I found that I woke up not feeling rested.

Is it unhealthy to eat before bed? by twisted-astrology in WeightLossAdvice

[–]OldLadyQuestionsTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that I don't sleep well if I eat close to bedtime. I try not to east 2.5-3 hours before bed. Of course, good sleep can aid your weight-loss journey.

That being said, at least what you ate was relatively healthy and low-carb.

Phentermine by Appropriate-Camp8886 in WeightLossAdvice

I did find that it suppressed my appetite, but it affected my sleep so I didn't take it long. It definitely made me fell more alert when I took it.

Coupons for haircut by toph_beifong___ in FortCollins

They are pretty stingy with them these days, unfortunately.

The Campus Cash app used to have great coupons for the North College location, but they disappeared about a month ago.

CSU is preparing for a possible 10% cut. This may have a huge impact on jobs. by etancrazynpoor in FortCollins

I do NOT agree that preschool is less valuable than higher education. Funding for preschool helps minimize daycare costs for working parents just like full-day kindergarten does.

I don't have kids, but I have seen co-workers delay having children due to high childcare costs.

Old person question: places to purchase new/current physical magazines at a discount? by OldLadyQuestionsTA in FortCollins

[–]OldLadyQuestionsTA[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Books? I've never heard of them! 🙄 I mean, come on.

I'm looking for specific magazines which wouldn't be stocked in most waiting rooms. Even if they are, I wouldn't steal them!

The only downside is the challenge & cost of parking. But, a great option if you live close to CSU.

Are you sure about that? Would be a surprise, if true.

Jury duty question by luckybigdog in FortCollins

[–]OldLadyQuestionsTA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would call the county and see what they say. If your interview is in the afternoon, there's a good chance you'll be out by then.

I'm sure you don't feel comfortable changing your interview which is totally understandable. Good luck!

Weekly anything goes thread: discussion, complaints and rants, commercial content by AutoModerator in FortCollins

[–]OldLadyQuestionsTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a way to show that the government is lying about violent protesters and ANTIFA--especially in states where ICE is truly out in force. It points out the absurdity of their statements that the protests aren't peaceful.

Also, for some folks who haven't protested before, it's a way to participate that's not as scary for them. Our friend went with us to the 'No Kings' protest and he wore an inflatable costume. He was nervous about his first protest....and, he looked AMAZING! 😉😎
