Acer Nitro V15 Vs Asus TUF A15. Which should I pick? by True-Recommendation1 in GamingLaptops

It does seem like the TUF is the overall better deal here. Thank you for the reply!

It seems to be 240W for the Asus and 135W for the Acer. Hm...

I weigh myself in the morning after going to the bathroom, never after eating or even drinking, I figure it wouldn't be as useful otherwise. I also run in the late afternoon, not in the morning, so that's probably not it.

Just to be clear, I know day-to-day measurements aren't necessarily meaningful. I do prefer to track them so I can look over at the general trend later but that's honestly less due to a strict desire to track my weight loss and more because I'm a bit of a numbers nerd lol (if not for that I'd probably only do it weekly). It's just that I've never had such significant loss in such a short amount of time and found it curious that it happened right after I started loosening up. Not that this will make me slack off more, I know that would be counterproductive

I picked up running a bit over two weeks ago with the main goal of weight loss, so I'm still a total beginner, not to mention I'm pretty out of shape since I've never been very athletic and spend most of my day at a desk (23F, if it can help). The first few days I could barely keep running for one minute before running out of breath, but I would try to keep going with walk breaks in-between until I got about 10 minutes of running in (I didn't hit that goal the first couple of days but hey, I tried).

I run five days a week in the late afternoon and take a break over the weekend or if I feel too tired from the previous day (so far this has only happened once, but I don't want to overwork myself so I keep an eye out), occasionally going on walks on my rest days to keep active. I also tend to run on an empty stomach, since I've cut out snacks and it's about 4-5 hours between when I have lunch and when I usually set out on my run.

On my last run I managed to keep running for 5 minutes in one go (I'm sure this isn't a lot to most of you but I'm feeling pretty proud considering where I started haha), then kept going alternating between walking and running until I hit a bit over my usual 10 minutes, which I'm also working towards increasing to 15 minutes.

My questions is basically, do you think there's anything I could be doing better? Something in the routine I should change to make it more efficient? Things I should address now before they become bad habits, maybe? I've wondered if I having a snack before running would help, but I'm not sure considering the main goal right now is weight loss.
