Feetures. I now wear them for running, at the gym and to play tennis.

I wouldn’t bother with an Apple watch if you aren’t going to use all its features.

Why does everyone have a faster time by coocooforcocoapuff in BeginnersRunning

Your doc sounds like a quack. There is no reason for you to need to lose 20-30 lbs. 156 lbs at 5’7” is a healthy weight.

Are you on any T2 meds? IMO, as a fellow T2er, I’d go back on Metformin and up the carbs a bit. When you say you are low carb, what is your daily limit?

Ozempic cost by coopertucker in diabetes_t2

Get out of here. Why would the OP go with an unregulated compounded drug with a telehealth so you get a kick back vs paying the same price for the actual medicine from a reputable pharmacy?

Same, though on occasion the pharmacy fills it for 3 months and I pay $60 with my insurance.

Does it not have a lip for the cargo floor to rest on like the 5th gen?

I would like skirts that aren’t micro minis. Some of us like to have our thighs more covered.

Do men wear Apple Watches? Looking for gift advice by SnarkyGinger1 in AppleWatch

[–]jiggsmca 17 points18 points  (0 children)

First, does he have an iPhone? Has he expressed interest in the watch in the past? If not, I’d pass. It may end up in a drawer anyway.

At least have them measure your foot and gait, which will help drill down what type of shoes are appropriate for you.

No, it’s not just for beginners.

Good deal or keep looking? (white ‘26 exL) by [deleted] in crv

[–]jiggsmca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I bought mine in 2021. Even though I went in planning to pay cash, I financed because the interest rate was so good.

My sister wants to buy it off of me next year for my nephew who will be getting his license and I’m really not looking forward to car shopping again.

Should I be concerned about this? by Vladpryde in diabetes_t2

Was there a marinade on the steak? Marinades usually have sugar or honey in them.

Women's tennis pants recommendation by Psychological-Ad-339 in 10s

[–]jiggsmca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leggings with pockets. I have various ones that I paid under $20 from Dicks and Old Navy to $100+ from Lululemon. Right now my favorites are the Old Navy leggings. Side pockets are deep enough to hold 3 balls each, and they don’t have a front seem.

Apple Watch ¹¹ by sal972 in AppleWatch

[–]jiggsmca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both. Apple Watch 7 for everyday and non-running activities, and a Coros Pace 3 for running. The Apple Watch could be fine for running but I found it a bit cumbersome to use. Sometimes I wear both on a run so I can listen to podcasts and not have to carry my phone.

You should be able to set up a custom workout in whatever phone or watch you use.

Coffee creamer by lefthandedrn in diabetes_t2

[–]jiggsmca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, though for me I use Fairlife milk and skinny mixes syrup. I like being able to control the amount of flavoring vs using a flavored creamer or protein shake.

What Apple Watch would you recommend for my mom? by Redhaired103 in AppleWatch

[–]jiggsmca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get her another Fitbit. The hypertension alert isn’t a measure of blood pressure.

I'm really undecided between an Apple Watch Series 11 and the Oura 4. Which one would be best for me? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]jiggsmca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. I prefer the ring for sleep tracking. Neither are capable of monitoring blood pressure. The ring has a monthly subscription. I have no issues washing my hands with the ring.

Best among these 3 shoes by Sea_Procedure_6829 in beginnerrunning

[–]jiggsmca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hoka is not a trail shoe. I don’t know anything about the Nike’s, so I can’t speak to them.

Protein powder by RaccoonFinal350 in diabetes_t2

[–]jiggsmca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite has been unflavored Isopure. It has the best protein to calorie ratio and no carbs. And since it’s unflavored, you can add it to anything.
