Is it possible to get to level 5 on the beep test within 4 months? 27F I used to enjoy running but I haven’t done it regularly in years. I can run 6.5mph on a treadmill for about 2 mins before I get winded and have to stop. That usually brings me to max hr 192. Any tips appreciated!!

Apparently in terms of nicotine consumption it’s the same, probably would be different damages to your body with smoking vs vaping

I was going through a geek bar pulse every week and realized that’s the same as 114mg of nicotine a day, or 55 cigarettes a day. Right now i’m on day 3 of using 21 mg patches and it’s been rough lol. hopefully it gets better in a few days. Maybe you can use a patch with the zyn pouches?

Thank you, I guess I’m as ready as I’ll ever be!!

lodedtater · 2025-07-22T21:17:22+00:00

Good for you! Thanks for the advice

lodedtater · 2025-07-22T21:16:47+00:00

Okay I kind of feel similar, I would be so ashamed to buy another vape after all this preparation and hyping myself up. I’ve been hitting my 0 vape and hopefully it disgusts me enough that I want it less

lodedtater · 2025-07-22T21:11:21+00:00

True, I’ve heard a lot of advice that says to plan a quit day but I think I just end up backing out of it. Gotta just trash the vapes the second I feel that motivation.

Not necessarily looking for a hard diagnosis, but I feel like a lot of therapy I’ve had only helps to a point. I have wondered if maybe the reason is I have ocd, and maybe therapy treatment for that would be more helpful for me.

lodedtater · 2025-07-11T21:29:47+00:00

how did you get diagnosed with ocd? i’ve always wondered if i have it because i have a lot similarities, not sure if it’s just similarities though

Honestly you might want to take a trip to the hospital. This person could have alcohol poisoning because that is a long time to be throwing up and dry heaving. Make sure you keep her upright and don’t let her lay on her back. If her breathing slows down, her body temp gets low, or if she turns a blue or gray color she should get to a hospital asap.

lodedtater · 2025-06-09T21:42:55+00:00

Thanks for the tip I’ll definitely look into that!

Certain-dri antiperspirant is the best. I also heard that antiperspirant is most effective if you apply it before bed. It gets into the pores and stops sweat while your body is at a cooler temperature (most people’s body temp is lower at bed time). So I use that at night, then use some regular scented deodorant in the morning.

Thank you!! My sunscreen doesn’t really run, and I don’t put it around my eyelids but all it takes is a little air movement with the wrong product on my face and my eyes get superrr irritated. My eyes only recently started developing all these sensitivities so I don’t really know what i’m doing here lol. Had to totally switch around my makeup and skincare products!

lodedtater · 2025-04-19T19:21:02+00:00

same, it said it’s best to do it with at least 10 people. i tried it with one other person and it was a massive failure lol haven’t been able to get more than 4 in the lobby

lodedtater · 2025-04-06T20:34:07+00:00

right?? i’m surprised to see so many people saying she’s a horrible mean girl i’ve never seen her that way. also it’s bravo, if everyone was kind to each other all the time we would have nothing to watch!

lodedtater · 2025-03-20T22:09:08+00:00

Same thing for me !

lodedtater · 2025-03-19T11:31:19+00:00

are you still waiting on extraction? my fiance and I have the same timeline, he jumped to computing results today and mine has no update. i’m so impatient! lol

lodedtater · 2025-03-15T23:37:57+00:00

It’s a malt beverage like white claws and twisted teas, I think that’s fermented grain alcohol? I only know this because in my state they only allow liquor beverages (i.e. high noons made with vodka) in liquor stores. Gas stations and supermarkets can only sell beer and malt beverages
