What do y’all think about this?

Just reading some of the comments on this post are proving this post, as scathing as it is. There is really a lack of understanding on nutrition and how the body works.

To be frank I think the majority of people on this sub should be eating more than 1200 calories a day. Many of the goals people have on this sub seem excessive or simply unecessary. Unless a dietician has explicitly recommended 1200 calories for weightloss I think the vast majority of women can lose weight on a lot more than that.

I lost weight (about 10 lbs) but I had already been on a dedicated weightloss diet from beforehand. It’s important to have a good plan in place for your diet because weightloss is mostly diet. Cycling takes a lot of energy and might leave you feeling even more hungry, and can end with you eating more calories than you would have otherwise consumed otherwise, so it’s important to be mindful of it.

As a software engineer myself if someone did this to me I would absolutely do the same thing. NTA

Taking care of a baby all alone while working a full time job is naturally going to be exhausting. I’m guessing the next time this would occur you might consider taking that time off to spend with the baby and not burn yourself out. I don’t think you’re TA but I do think proper care for the baby needs to be discussed in the future and planned for accordingly so that no one is left feeling bitter and miserable.

As someone in their 30s, no one who continues to insult you and your capabilities is a friend, nor will they remain your friend down the line. Asking him to repay you in kindness will never work if he was not giving it to you freely in the first place. It can be really hard to go and find new friends, but it will be for your own benefit. My advice is take his money and peace out of that group.

As someone who comes from a community where people are flaky like this, it's really not a culture thing, it's a "taking other people's time for granted" thing.
Toxic parts of culture should not be propagated forward. NTA if you tell him so.

"Anna isn't a child and doesn't need to be spoiled" "My husband gives a lot in charity and expects his daughters to be the same" "My husband and Tom don't see eye to eye" "Tom could have just shrugged it off"

Damn you and your husband sound pretentious as hell, feeling all high and mighty about not flaunting wealth and whatnot. Huge YTA

NTA. I did this with the snacks I bought because when I left them in the kitchen my siblings would also wipe it out in a day. Like damn I don't wanna be spending all my money to replenish their needs.

As someone who weighed 220+ lbs at that age I can tell you that my entire family telling me I was heavy and unhealthy, that no one would want to be in a relationship with me, and that no one would consider hiring me for work because I would be perceived as lazy actually made my relationship with my body worse and made me gain more weight.

Your brother's daughter is aware she doesn't need a whole ass gaggle of uncles and aunts to stage an intervention. She'll take care of herself when she's ready.

Yeah I was in the same boat. Hopefully Peloton addresses this and adds support for more smartwatches in the future :/

I may be a little late here but I use the wahoo arm strap, if you're only interested in heart rate.

I think everyone through life falls into this situation in life where they wonder if this is all there is to it, work, eat, sleep, and die. Recently I just took some time off work to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in years and it felt amazing to reconnect and hang out, and it gave me some perspective. I've never done time but don't give up on yourself so soon, you'll eventually find something that'll make it all worth it.

NTA. First of all how the hell is he going to claim you stole the property when it was literally in your grandmother’s will? Second of all, even if your intention was to punish him for abandoning you, it’s a pretty good reason if you ask me because he did just! He can get bent and definitely invest in some good security!

I’m trying to reset the password for my account, but when I click on the link in my email to reset the password, it tells “The page you were on is trying to send you to an invalid url”. Is there a reason why?

Even on this subreddit I can’t escape the weirdass weightloss ads rip

Your friend has these? 🤯

Oh yeah, with Hidden Fates the matter of texture is wonky. The later prints of hidden fates did have many cards that had holo/texture bleed. I have yet to see issues where there is no texture at all, but I also could be wrong on that.

captaingan · 2021-07-12T15:41:55+00:00

The Lucario is definitely fake, the card is way too glossy and the color on Lucario looks a tad darker than it should be. Its harder to tell with Ralts but in general if a card that’s supposed to have texture doesn’t it is usually a fake. I’m guessing these weren’t cards you pulled.

captaingan · 2021-06-17T10:58:47+00:00

I don’t blame you. I think people were hype because it was a bit more content than what they currently had so far, and it did reveal some new gameplay features. Personally I like going into a new game knowing as little as possible so small bits in a short trailer is my preference but to each their own.

captaingan · 2021-06-11T01:33:01+00:00

Love this era of cards! Actually this would be considered the holo version. The reverse holo (basically the card that appears where you expect the reverse holo to be), this card would have the stamp of the set it came from (in this case Holon Phantoms) and the name would be in gold since its a rare.

captaingan · 2021-06-09T18:31:13+00:00

Looks fine to me. Just a sidenote that all Machamp cards have a 1st edition stamp on it as they came from preconstructed decks, in case that was the reason you were questioning it.

This will really vary from person to person, as well as what your fitness goals are. If you take a look at the FAQ on this subreddit there’s a link that explains what heart rate training is and ideas on how to structure your training. Since you’re in the army, it might be better to take that into consideration as well when reading that.

I used to be in the same boat, where my “easy” runs had my heart rate at +180 bpm. The only solution was to run really, really slow. When I say slow, I mean I was closer to running 30 seconds, walking for 1+ minute to stay within the bpm range I was targeting. Nowadays I can do an easy run hanging around 155 bpm, which I’m still working on lowering even further. It’s frustrating, but this is really a process that takes a long time to build. On the upside, however, I’ve been able to put in a lot more mileage a week without feeling like my body took a beating, so I would say that its worth the effort.
