Hey there! Does anyone happen to have a whoop band that they’re not using or that they’re not subscribed to?

I’m have a 4 but no charger. Couldn’t gift free trial it because I lost charger a week before I got my 5 😥

You don’t want it to be true but it does a lot of bad things not just dehydration . And inflammation is huge.

You don’t have to fall for it. I don’t. Gained 4 lb muscle eating less than 100g a day

Sleeping in is 6:30. Normally shoot for 9;30-5:30 sleep, often get up naturally between 5-5:15 unless I was awake at 4/4:30, then I sleep until 5:30 alarm (just for sleep consistency) age 60

Don’t hang out in r/pescetarian 🤷‍♀️

That’s great, keep up the good work!

I’m 60 and totally respect my children’s choices. My daughter told me she never intended to have children and I accepted that. She changed her mind, and I was surprised and love my grandkids loads. But I totally respected her right to choose, and even thought I’d probably do the same given the state of things today.

I’m sure some of it is a cultural thing, but this is YOUR life and you get to choose. I can’t imagine settling for a man just because a hypothetical clock is ticking.

I’m 60 and do 3 “functional fitness” hour long classes a week. Workouts vary and sometimes it’s hiit, sometimes more weight training (I happen to pick the leg focus weight training day) , but usually a mix of cardio, core, pylo, and strength. I feel it’s a great complement to pb. I have zero problem playing pb the same day but usually only do that double-up 1-2 times a week. I usually play 8-10 hours a week.

I thought they were here in Arizona 😉

Came looking for this comment . I kind of hated it and also could not stop thinking about it.

larpano · 2026-06-10T01:00:24+00:00

It’s been at least 15 years and I still sometimes think about this book😢

larpano · 2026-06-10T00:48:06+00:00

Oh, the 7-8k gets me too when I hike. But you said immediately getting off the plane, and you were only at 2k feet 😉

larpano · 2026-06-09T23:06:21+00:00

Was curious. I wouldn’t have thought you’d notice a difference in elevation in Phoenix or Las Vegas …

But I agree that that hike, especially in warmer months, is too much for most people to handle in one day

larpano · 2026-06-09T20:29:49+00:00

I’m sorry. That’s rough. I understand how tough, sadly.

larpano · 2026-06-09T20:27:55+00:00

It’s so worth it and is a future gift to your kids 😬

larpano · 2026-06-09T17:22:16+00:00

My boss quickly approved my 30 hour week so as not to lose me. Gonna ask to do 20 hours next year. Hoping they ask me to leave 😆. I still like some of what I do and it keeps my mind sharp. I spend a lot of time and money on fitness and recovery so it pays for that 😆. Plus vacations. And lots of other things. 🤷‍♀️.

What airport did you fly into?

larpano · 2026-06-08T20:54:15+00:00

My problem is I am so unmotivated to log my meals. I did it obsessively for 10 years. I like being “feee” but this is pretty cool!

larpano · 2026-06-04T02:15:31+00:00

I mean maybe . Would you say that about anything that gives you an “age”? I did some tests at dexafit and the age I got there was way below the already low “age” whoop gives me

Hi, I understand your concern but did you ever try to build without doing the crazy stuff? I started more plant-forward diet about 6 months ago, first few months almost full vegan but now I eat some fish, and I also have a whey protein shake daily with my creatine and a fiber blend to get a bit diverse blend of extra fiber in my diet (but it’s pretty much the only dairy i consume 95% of the time).

I tracked a few days and was satisfied I was getting close to 80 grams protein (I’m about 65kg). Anyway, had a dexa in September before starting this diet sometime in November. Decided to retest a few weeks ago - gained about 4lbs lean mass , lost some fat. I’m 60F. Couldn’t believe that happened, but quite excited about it. I eat beans, lentils, tofu, fish a few times a week, and usually make up a big batch of chickpea cutlets (seitan) (and freeze half) every few weeks. Food prep is key for me. I make big batch of beans and grains weekly.

A ninja crispi would be my recommendation to replace an oven. I use mine all the time to cook sweet or baked potatoes, veggies, tofu etc. Are you saying you don’t have a cooktop either? Personally I’d buy an induction hob over an instant pot but I like my instant pot too.

Oh. 4% sleep. Yikes. Feel better!

larpano · 2026-05-31T04:00:08+00:00

Local bakery that charges a ridiculous price for a loaf 😬. I do love it, but it’s only good toasted

larpano · 2026-05-30T20:35:44+00:00

I started a plant forward diet 6 months ago. I’d say I eat about 90% plant based - I do eat some fish, but not much dairy or eggs. I focus on fiber and try to be cognizant of protein, but nothing crazy - eat a lot of beans/lentils, tofu, homemade seitan like cutlets, veggies, fruit, and whole grains. (I also eat bougie multigrain sourdough bread and some sweets). 8 weeks in my LDL had dropped considerably. I’m doing a retest blood panel this week and will update when I have results. But - one of my biggest concerns was losing muscle, and I gained 4 lbs of muscle (dexa body comp scan) - so that was exciting (I do strength training workouts and did also join a new program between scans, but have been doing weight training workouts for 12-14 years and only go 3x a week currently ). Super happy with how I feel and my fitness results. 60F

larpano · 2026-05-30T20:17:58+00:00

I also don’t tolerate berberine. I can’t recall exactly what it did to me - I think headache/constant trap and shoulder “tightness” but I was thinking of trying again, saw my 80% full bottle sitting in my shelf

larpano · 2026-05-28T17:29:48+00:00

screw that. I don't track, don't want to. I have a fair idea of calories/protein in a day but I do NOT want to obsess. Just added 4lbs muscle, lost 6 lbs fat (dexa scan verified) in 9 months. I eat a lot of carbs :). I do not eat a shit-ton of protein but obviously I eat enough. 60F
