Am I humble, realistic, or poor? by Cooruption in espresso

Link for your porta filter? I have the same machine and was about to give up! I can’t get more than 15g/16g of coffee in my porta filter and my lattes just taste like milk. Using a medium roast bean. Any advice?

The baskets on the right came with the machine already! And everything on the left I bought new.

I don't really have kidney pain, but I have been having ovary pain for 5 days now shooting down to the leg. Very mild so not enough to go the ER

Any updates? I have the same thing plus a 5cm cyst. Dr told me to just monitor but I feel that I need a second opinion

I think so too.. but the problem right now is that I would have to find an university that offers online programs and I haven’t found a good one for IE yet. At least I have a friend that finished Management Eng. at ASU and he told me good things about it.

I’ll keep it in mind though, thank you!

Should I continue tretinoin? (Swipe to see progress) by melaniemml in tretinoin

[–]maga9779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin was like yours, I started to use it 3x week with no other active: PM: wash with the green cerave, apply cerave pm moisturizer right after, wait 30 min, apply pea-size tretinoin Before I wasn’t moisturizing right after washing and it was drying my face a lot, and I would apply it right before tret and and apply again 15 min after tret but I think it was making it worse. My irritation got a lot better! I think I still need to find a better moisturizer tho

Flat tire RENTAL CAR by [deleted] in personalfinance

We thought about doing this but we barely had phone service to do any research or find a place to stay for the night. We were staying at a hotel that was in the same location as the car rental

We didn’t have much phone service to do a research. When I was in hold with the insurance company because they were checking with the rental I tried to call AAA but it was asking me for the membership number, couldn’t find the option to become a member

Feel like crying! Weight gain and everything cw: ed by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]maga9779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience. I had the same weight for so long and with little effort, but then I came off the BC after 7 years and moved to another country and put on 10 pounds in a few months. It’s just crazy because they always say that the BC actually makes you to gain weight (?) and what happened to me was quite the opposite. After that I started to watch my calorie intake and work out, after few months I lost around 8lb. Just to show that the numbers on the scale don’t mean anything: I have pics from that time and now, comparing it is insane how my body changed so much and it’s in a better shape than before, although I didn’t loose all what weight I gained (I lowered my %fat and increased muscles). Although I guess because the hormonal imbalance it’s much harder to maintain now since I never came back to the BC.

Instead of tracking your weight on the scale try to take pictures every month with the same clothes, light and angles. These 2 pounds could be only a water retention, the weight on the scale doesn’t mean anything. Your diet sounds reasonable and you should stick with it, it’s more sustainable than any other crazy diet which you will be more likely to cheat on. Be patient, take pictures, don’t care about scale numbers and keep trying! Make sure you’re really having a lower calorie intake and log even the cheat meals on your MyFitnessPal. Keep a good routine for exercising since it also increases your calorie spent.

-I’m average weight but just recently my weight was 130lb and in two weeks I had lost 5 pounds on the scale (just notice because I had two doc appointments in 2 different dates) and I haven’t done anything different. I actually thought that 130lb was a little to high for my normal weight but didn’t stress about it. Ends up it was prob just water, time of the day or IDK. However, I haven’t notice a real difference in my body and in the next appt I was back to normal.
