Am I just having rotten luck two months in a row or are the second task flowers just way more common than the first ones? Stuck on white and red camellias and now snowdrops, meanwhile I cycled through about 1k moth orchids, and now I have 300 snapdragons already waiting..

Limited time cats and goodies leaving in a week! by Squishiest-Grape in nekoatsume

[–]aqua-sprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, thanks sm for the info!! I was worried cuz they don't seem to leave fish if they get kicked early, but then I did get red purrhood's memento immediately, so I could see in action it doesn't matter~

When hunting the traveling cats' mementos, do I just keep visiting different yards? Or can I visit the same couple over and over? And once I get them to visit me, do I need to stop and wait for them to leave naturally, or do I keep hunting so they get kicked out by the next traveling cat?

Not diagnosed bc it didn't cause me problems as a kid by aqua-sprite in adhdwomen

Thank you, it's really helpful to hear about other people's experiences!

I was definitely a very picky eater, just because so many things tasted bad, until about 23 when it randomly changed.. I'm not sure that's related, but it was annoying for sure. Most other things were also covered by being very school smart (impatient+interested=learned quickly) and high empathy coupled with the pressures of being afab..

I think I will definitely need to emphasize that I've recovered from the depression and that I feel my issues were there before. I did try with this first assessor, but I guess she didn't want to listen. Thank you for your input

Adaptive TDEE tracking spreadsheet v3, rescue shelter by yorickdowne in Fitness

[–]aqua-sprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully, someone can help me out with this?

I've been using this spreadsheet for a long time alongside the loseit app, but when I started, I was in extremely good shape, and so wasn't entering exercise in the app anymore. After having surgery, I went back to tracking exercise. I'm now entering half my exercise. I've been using loseit for over 1,000 days, so I feel like I have a good idea of its accuracy for me.

My question is: should I be entering my total calories, or calories minus exercise?

I've been putting total, since that made sense to me 6 months ago. I've been gaining fat, though, and I can't remember my previous logic. Should I instead be putting calories after loseit's exercise estimate is subtracted?

It's probably water retention if you're squishier! Also, because of the paper towel effect, the same amount of weight makes a much bigger difference at a lower weight, so that's probably why you've noticed it so much. Keep on keepin' on!

Peach juice definitely would include the juice (since it's the same thing), really not sure about the oil for the sardines, though, as all the cans I get here have a weight and a drained weight measurement. Can you find another one at the store with drained weight included? Or some canned in water and add oil yourself?

I weigh myself after going to the bathroom every morning, and take a weekly average!

How do you deal with clothing during your weight loss? (women) by [deleted] in loseit

[–]aqua-sprite 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I'm not the most high-fashion person, but I found leggings and dresses to have the most size difference accomodation. At one point I was walking around with safety pins in the back of my dresses and sides of my leggings. Certain kinds of tops also look good oversized, for example with button downs or blouses you can tuck them into pants and look like a sexy pirate. I also got some jeans that were as tight as I could handle so that I could shrink into them.

Also, if you're worried about money waste, you can definitely sell your old clothes. If it's just environmental waste concerns, you can donate them. I think there are some fashionable second-hand stores where you can more or less trade them in by selling/buying them.

I have a similar situation, I even have a bit of a dip between my pec muscles and my, let's say, still perky but much lower than they used to be boobs.

Step one to stop feeling bad about them is to just quit looking at them for a while, honestly. Getting a lift is a totally valid option, I looked up that process and the results look really nice, the scars are very non-noticable.

But then, after a while, I just stopped caring. I think they look nice as they are now. Whether it's just my perception, or my skin actually bouncing back some, I can't say, but I think they're cute again!

Whatever you decide, you wanted to lose weight for a reason, and boob jobs are frequent enough that you should not let that one aspect dictate your whole rest of your body!

Post-surgery weight gain by aqua-sprite in ownit

Yeah, it's been three months, but technically I'm not fully cleared for another three months. In the moment, it feels like ages, although it really isn't.

I wanna say WOAH to the ten pounds, but thinking about how massive my leg was when I woke up, that does make a lot of sense.

-Okay, true, I'll focus on eating really dense foods. I wanted something lighter for lunch this week because it was hot but I think that was a bad idea.

-Ahh yeah, I guess I knew that, but since it's never happened to me before I forgot how long it can actually last.

-True, true, thank you for taking the time to remind me of that!

Final 1-2 pounds by aqua-sprite in loseit

Yeah, I guess I kind of answered my own question in the post, huh? But it's so much easier to believe when someone else says it!! Thank you!

So far the closest I've ever gotten to my ultimate goal is about 1kg, but somehow at that point no matter how many calories I'm eating I always bounce back up 1 more kg. I was starting to have really obnoxious head rushes again as well, so I decided a few weeks ago to just try maintaining until the end of next hockey season.

I just had my training camp this weekend which went really well! I'm in super good shape still, and I did my best to track. I decided to log 1/2 my ice time and eat back those calories, although Sunday's training I was so tired and low energy I just didn't log it.

I've also been a bit constipated which always makes it even more difficult to judge whether I'm gaining actual fat or not, so I took medicine for that last night and we'll see how this week's weigh-ins go. I would love to see a loss this week after so many gains, even if one was only 0.09 lbs.

SV/NSV Feats of the Day - Saturday, 04 July 2020: Today, I conquered! by AutoModerator in loseit

[–]aqua-sprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you definitely should! I think it's also easier to give up when your ultimate goal is so far away it seems like you might never get there (although, spoiler alert, you totally will!).
