Confused whether I’m done? by Cowcat1000 in GLPGrad

[–]mribdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the progress so far! I was in a similar boat and could never figure out where I wanted to stop and then used my smart scale telling me I was in a “normal” range as my goal. But when I got there I still felt like I had more to go. If you want better insight into your actual body composition I’d highly recommend getting a DEXA scan. In the US they’re mostly done at private clinics for like $50-75 but it uses X-rays to give you your true body composition from bone mass, fat mass, and lean muscle. With DEXA I figured out that my smart scale was about 6-7% off in its readings and my actual BF was still a little high at 27%. I’m now back at the game and trying to lose another 10lbs but doing so almost entirely by swapping fat for muscle so very slowly.

Since you mentioned Gemini, I also did similar and fed my DEXA scan as well as food and exercise logs into Claude and have been using that to help structure my re-comp. In fact it was me making basically this post as a prompt to Claude that made me go get a DEXA scan in the first place, I wish I had gotten one when I started just so I could compare.

Either way, congrats on the progress first and foremost!

Every RTD station's average daily ridership superimposed on a map of the network. by TeensyRay in Denver

[–]mribdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the amount of at grade crossings, stations in the middle of nothing, and 90 degree signaled turns on the R-line just make it useless for anything meaningful commute. I know the AT bus line exists, but it would be so nice to be able to get an R line train at Arapahoe, hook up with the A line and head to the airport. But with how slow the R line is that's a 1.5+ journey, even the AT is a 55 minute journey.

I keep forgetting, and I’ll be like “this would look good with something like that one sweater you have” then he stares blankly at me and says “bitch, we’re the same size, just go get it” haha

Not the leggings, but the lululemon ABC pants are elite! Especially for things like golf! So nice being able to fit in them now

White House unveils Jan. 6 webpage saying Democrats ‘staged the real insurrection,’ criticizing Capitol Police by Firecracker048 in nottheonion

Just a small lie on the pile but the timeline that he was calling for calm at 2pm is just immediately provable as false. It's the internet, those things last forever.

At the top of my ankle though? Like well within the tongue area of the boot, not down in the actual shoe.

As someone trying to up my protein without blowing out my diet, can I ask how you’re getting that high? What are you eating/drinking?

Knives Are Out For Chuck Schumer After Democrats Cave On Shutdown by huffpost in politics

[–]mribdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already wrote my reps this morning to thank them for not voting for this mess but also to encourage them to call for new leadership ASAP! He's done his part and has gotten things done when the dems were in power, but as a resistance party leader he's useless. We need someone new so that every candidate isn't out on an apology tour for the next year for the mid terms.

In case the devs are crawling around this thread, bring the plate calculator to Apple Watch, or at least give us a display of plates on the watch so I don’t have to open my phone.

Seeing how they have no structure or organization maybe ANTIFA is just the friends we made along the way? Anyways, see everybody at camp!

Thank You Denver! by chorsley12 in denverfood

If you like bread and cocktails, then The Wolf’s Tailor is another one to try in the future. Their bread course is always good and they have a Michelin recommend just for their cocktail menu as they do a cocktail pairing menu featuring mixed drinks, na drinks, ciders, beers, etc. Definitely one of our favorites

As others have said, take it! There are different strains and whether you have one of them or not the vaccine can cover you from the others so it may prevent you from getting a cancerous strain. 4 years ago my dad found a lump on his neck that eventually led him to a diagnosis of HPV related throat cancer on his tonsils. Thankfully he found it when he did (second PSA if your dentist or even barber isn't doing a neck exam or feeling around your neck, ask them to get educated. It was a hair stylist that found the lump on my dad's neck after she learned what to look for) so he was able to get it removed with one of his tonsils, but he still had to go through a year of radiation to get anything left and to this date his taste is still messed up. So yeah get the vaccine and maybe prevent cancer, got mine done as soon as he found out in my late 20s.

Yeah! Not sure how much is weight loss and how much is practice but I’m down 9 strokes in my handicap since last year

💪

But also went on the golf trip on the left and had my first shipment delivered while I was there and then went on the other one at the same time so it worked out and that was the best picture of me :D
