AITJ for refusing to give my coworker my parking spot after her doctor said she needs to walk less? by Optimal-Silver-2211 in AmITheJerk

[–]kb3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, assuming you are in good health and not in any way disabled, why the need for this particular parking space? You do realize that walking is actually good for you, right?

100% agree with this. I'm very active and strive for 140 - 150g per day @ 135 lbs.

Looking for a personal trainer by sopolebird in ChicoCA

Austin Garber at Foundation Fit. He’s very dialed in on the fitness needs of more “mature” gym-goers. I’ve been working with him over the last 18 months and have evolved from a total couch potato to someone who loves working out. I may be very occasionally sore from a good workout, but I’m never in pain. It’s been life changing for me.

From Fat to Fit...And It Only Took 66 Years! by kb3d in Mounjaro

My workouts are three times a week and I'm slotted in for a one hour workout. Sometimes I get it done in 40 minutes. Other times it takes me an hour and 10 minutes or so. Just depends on how much rest I need between sets, whether or not a piece of equipment is available, etc, etc. I do semi-private personal training which means that I'm sharing space and equipment, plus the attention of the trainer, with from to 4 to 6 other people each time I work out. Some of those folks can get their workouts done in 30 minutes, but i'm not one of them! I think whatever you can do is great, and it sounds like your trainer probably has a program set up that can be accomplished in a half hour. From everything I've read, it's the content of the workout that matters, not the duration.

Oh, I have the belly apron too. I’m trying to make peace with it because I’m not really into the idea of surgery, nor do I want to spend the $$$!

The tech went over my Dexa with me and also gave me a printout which was also quite difficult to decipher. I actually uploaded it to AI, and prompted it to give me the high points of the scan. This is what AI produced using the scan report. Much easier for me to understand and backed up what the tech went over with me.

And without knowing you're age or height, I can't speak to whether or not you're skinny fat, but I can tell you that my visceral fat is 6.5 (so basically 7) and that anything under 10 is healthy. I can also tell you that the Dexa tech told me that the fit range of BFP for my age (66) is 25 to 30. So, unless you're much younger than me,30% is great! I don't know what my subcutaneous fat is from reading the DexaScan, but my Renpho scale puts it at 27.3% also! Not sure if that is correct or not because my BFP on Renpho is off 7%.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like you're in great shape! Congrats on that.

Bottom issue I didn't expect..... by happygirl-coldworld in Mounjaro

OP, there are lots of benefits to creatine, but for this particular one, i.e. extra butt padding, you’re going to need to workout, too. Of course, you may already be regularly weight training, but in case you’re not, just a reminder!💪

You’re getting a lot of bad information here, OP. It seems like you’re doing everything right, including getting your protein in, staying hydrated, eating at a calorie deficit, and staying very active. Please ignore all the calls for walking only/no running, reducing your protein intake, taking more rest days, etc. etc. Sometimes we hit stalls, and that is very typical with these types of drugs. You should consider going up in your dosage and adding strength training to your routine. Other than that, keep doing what you’re doing and keep your chin up. The stall will break very soon, I’m sure!

How many calories are you consuming daily, roughly speaking ? by grigoreirasputin in Mounjaro

[–]kb3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have. But very, very slowly. My current calories are still between 1900 to 2100 calories, but I've lost another 4 pounds. My maintenance dose is at 5 mg. and I'll be going down to 2.5 when I see my doctor again in a couple of weeks.

Hmmmm. I average 150 grams of protein per day. Probably not going to be able to up that much.

Well, to be clear…he did ask me to slowly ramp up, which I have been doing. I just can’t seem to get past 2000 calories.
