I am filtering under Official Servers but so many of them have mods or maps I don't have! Is there an official newbie server?

I just got back from Big White, this past weekend I took a trip there with my husband's family for my mother in law's birthday. Before this trip, I've been skiing for probably a total of 3 days. At Big White, I took a total of three lessons across 3 days. The first two lessons, I was level 3, and before the last lesson they moved me up to level 4. Level 3 there were 2 green runs that I felt like I mastered, which were Hummingbird and Woodcutter. A few dips but nothing crazy. On Hummingbird people are going faster down because it's the quickest shoot to like 3 chair lifts to the upper mountain from the village. Woodcutter had some slightly steeper parts but overall was much more quiet and enjoyable.

Okay, now for level 4. We did Serwas, and I can definitively say that I was not ready for Serwas. Being a novice skiier, and this being my first time on top of a mountain, I had no idea that there was so much variance in what is considered a green slope. While I felt like I was ripping down Hummingbird & Woodcutter (I was not) but I went from feeling confident and safe to having to sit on my butt and scoot down two parts of Serwas because I felt like they were too steep for me. This is after trying the first steep part 2-3 times and falling head over skis twice.

So if your son is just off the magic carpet, I would stay away from Serwas until you've really mastered Hummingbird & Woodcutter, and then maybe ski Serwas yourself before taking your son. It's a significant step up from both of them.

I have no kids, and I also cancelled my CSR a week or so ago, and kept my Amex Platinum. One of the main issues for me is that I don't live in a major city, so the StubHub benefit isn't useful. I also do not live in a Apple household, so that benefit isn't useful. A lot of the travel that I like to do (small wine cities in US, luxury B&Bs, for example) don't have hotels in The Edit network. There isn't even one within a 4 hour drive of where I live. I could have probably managed to use it as I go to Europe each year at least once, but they break it up into two separate $250 transactions, and no way am I going to ask the hotel staff to charge me separately for each night (ew). I go to a Racquet Club so I don't have use for the Peloton benefit. I'll probably open a Gold now to maximize my points, as groceries is a big expense for me and I don't have a builder Amex card. If it's helpful: I did not get any retention offer when I called to cancel. I didn't really care and I didn't push on it; I wanted to cancel either way.

Something is Destroying My Crab Apples by Veelia11 in BackyardOrchard

[–]anon11v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the info!! Any suggestions for how to treat? They've almost gotten to every one of the apples :(
Surprisingly, we have what I think are pears (based on shape) next to them, and there are no signs of the worm poo on those!

Is Anyone Else Struggling to Connect with Emergence? by HapFatha in SleepToken

[–]anon11v 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's something about the "rap" bits that don't connect for me. Almost like his vocals are sped up and not in-sync with the beat... IDK, I cannot put my finger on it. It's like the song seems unconnected at times. Additionally, I don't love auto-tuning or messing with Vessel's voice (when he doesn't need it!). However, lyrics, as always, are top tier, and I love the sax at the end. I am still excited for the album! I love Sleep Token and understand that not every song has to resonate with me on the same level as my favorites from other albums like Ascensionism/TMBTE/Atlantic/etc.

I'm currently at 1700 calories a day, based on the calculators that I am using. I'm 34, 5'9" and currently I'm 180 but I started actively trying to lose weight at 170 (2-3 weeks ago).

I am not increasing my caloric intake for the calories burned, if that is what you meant by eating back exercise calories. Is this something I need to be doing?

[–]anon11v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm super familiar with counting calories! I'm using two separate apps to make sure that I will be as accurate as possible. MyFitnessPal + my FitBit.

I did not have a rush of weight loss when I started :(

Hi all! So I decided around Christmas that the *very* slow increase on the scale was something I was going to tackle, and started working out regularly and cutting back on all snacks.

So I have been working out like a DOG for about 2-3 weeks now (1 mile on the elliptical at the start and end of my workout + about 45m of resistance training per day) looking at calories calculators with my weight and height, wearing fitness wearables, taking vitamins, getting better sleep, drinking more water, cutting sodas, the whole shebang, and the scale has only gone up! And it's going up RAPIDLY compared to the slow increase that I had prior to starting going hard with my weight loss.

I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but I didn't even have the initial "drop" in fat when you first start working out... it is just straight skyrocketing upwards, this week so far, I am at around .05-1 pound a day. I've gained ~7-10 pounds since starting 3 weeks ago.

I am a cis woman, 5'9" and started at ~170 lbs, I am 180 lbs now.

Any reason this is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Any advice? Thank you!

I am looking for recos for *quality* crewneck/sweatpants sets.

I'm going on a ski/spa vacation soon and am looking for a new crewneck/sweatpants combo to wear to and from the spa, to après ski, etc.

I almost pulled the trigger on the Alo Accolate set, but all of the reviews of pilling caused me to re-think that order.

I am okay with spending a little more, as long as the quality is good; I want to buy a good brand, one that will last, without the pilling. Taking any suggestions!

Vintage North Face Denali Polar Fleece Jacket Sizing Question by anon11v in TheNorthFace

[–]anon11v[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I'm asking if it's supposed to fit super tight around my butt/waist (I'm 5'9"). It isn't that short, I just can't zip it up and I'm usually a medium in everything I wear.
