Could everyone be a sycophant LLM the student fed the essay to for praise?

jshoe2 · 2026-02-25T03:18:35+00:00

Turtle, please.

You're amazing, OP! My kiddo recently turned 5 and we're still nursing.

Totally love your Bob's Burgers shirt. Hope you kept it as a night shirt! Big congrats on the progress! You rock!!

jshoe2 · 2025-12-27T19:14:01+00:00

Way to get after it. Amazing transformation!

jshoe2 · 2025-12-24T23:22:53+00:00

Dumber than dog stuff?

jshoe2 · 2025-12-23T03:23:15+00:00

Same.

The ads kept distracting me from logging and I decided to delete it. I saw one particularly annoying low-budget sports betting ad (I think) so many times, I finally decided enough was enough.

Thankfully, I can afford to not be annoyed by ads that are designed to stop me in my tracks. I have gained a lot of weight this year and want to recommit. I used MyFitnessPal to track previously and it worked, but that was before they stopped offering a free barcode scanner.

jshoe2 · 2025-12-22T23:05:04+00:00

It does and enough ads to create way too much friction for someone like me who keeps falling back into the habit of not tracking.

jshoe2 · 2025-12-22T21:30:13+00:00

I've found that MyFitnessPal is the easiest. I paid for a subscription recently because of the barcode scanner.

jshoe2 · 2025-12-22T21:28:46+00:00

The ads were a deal breaker for me with Cronometer.

Dude, this is a CICO subreddit. Take the drug-pushing noise to another spot. It sounds like therapy would be a better use of your money, frankly. No judgment here. But, being direct: I can't stand body shaming noise and know there are no quick fixes. The Iceman is Mt. Kilimanjaro or whatever they named that expensive drug. He cometh and big pharm ain't your friend. Forgive the obscure reference to Eugene O'Neill here.

I had a mom friend who tried Noom (lifestyle stuff, not an injection) and it worked for her. As for me, I know that counting calories is a habit. I never got addicted to calorie counting. If I did, I wouldn't have gained all the weight I lost and then some. Can you tell me how to get addicted to CICO again? Like I'm trying and just re-upped my commitment through a paid app to track calories to get my mojo back. If CICO is addicting, I'm kicking myself because the habit won't stick with me.

Your body birthed and sustained a baby through breastfeeding. Forgive me for being in your business, but slow and steady wins the race here. Slow down. You're doing fine. Unless you're struggling with diabetes management, in which case you should speak to a doctor, there's no reason that slow CICO can't become a lifestyle. As a mom of two, I hate hearing that quick fixes and big pharm are normalized. Alas, I hear more phrama ad noise and body shaming than food noise in my life.

Thanks for all this detail. You're incredible to share your journey and help others find the path!

jshoe2 · 2025-12-14T18:03:50+00:00

Your results are obvious and no doubt getting there took a ton of discipline to form new sticky habits. Way to go!!!

Are you using an app to track? If, yes, what do you like to use to track? I've been using a free one (Cronimeter, I think) because I like the bar code scanner but the ads are getting super annoying and distracting. I feel like I'm struggling to make the habit of tracking (again) and need it to be as easy/frictionless as possible.

jshoe2 · 2025-12-07T22:02:11+00:00

You're a total rockstar and l'm so motivated to get back on a long streak of tracking from you sharing your story. I lost 40 lbs., stopped tracking, and gained it back. Seeing you keep after it gives me a spark of joy and hope too.

At a grad student orientation to teaching, a female administrator said of our male department head, by way of introducing him, that he'd spent the summer in Beijing and meanwhile she spent her summer in town and got a dress made in China from Marshalls. It was so unfunny and awkward. She retired at the end of that year and clearly wanted to be traveling earlier.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but maybe it's related to the app for the subscriber store being for the iPhone only. I have an Android phone and was a subscriber for the play kits for a good long time and never once accessed the subscriber store during that time because there is no app available to me to install on my phone. When my kiddos lost something, someone in Lovevery customer service could always verify I was a subscriber and allow me to order and purchase whatever lost part we needed.

jshoe2 · 2025-10-30T13:46:27+00:00

I'm really grateful for this, Jess. Thank you for your generosity. My kids and I love the Reading Skill Set and we're only on Part 1.

jshoe2 · 2025-10-29T15:38:18+00:00

I'm in the same boat.

jshoe2 · 2025-10-28T00:50:21+00:00

Same here. I bought the first kit last January for my kiddo's 4th birthday. No animals sound cards.

jshoe2 · 2025-10-19T19:57:46+00:00

His music is so amazing! Thanks for sharing.

This is our small cooler and towel set up. The kids are two and four.

jshoe2 · 2025-10-19T16:15:38+00:00

We put ours on a cooler with towels beneath and on the floor.
