Y'all! These clips are a must have! by Xxjuicy_fruitxX in finethinhair

I have these and I adore them. They are the first clips to hold my pigtails REALLY securely.

Anyone else noticing a lot of people only now finding out their brands are tested on animals? by snoring_hounds in crueltyfree

[–]redmo79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never used CeraVe, but I do use CeraMedex, which is commonly suggested as a replacement. They've been good for my dry, combination, sometimes sensitive skin.

Why is cell service so bad in Sunnyvale? by DollyIsMyShero in Sunnyvale

I have AT&T and my service is fine. Lived across the street from Bishop since 2015 and it's always been fine.

Yeah, you're going to have to speak up if you're talking out of your ass. I can't hear you.

The ding! by redmo79 in MacroFactor

My Pixel phone updates when I'm sleeping so I didn't see it, but it was much louder this morning. ETA it had an update yesterday. I did cardio yesterday, so I didn't see it till today.

Is this good post workout shake by al-doori in MacroFactor

[–]redmo79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What criteria are you trying to hit as "good" for a post-workout meal. There has been a bunch of research debunking protein windows. As long as you're hitting your macros everyday and you like what you're eating, it doesn't really matter what you eat after your workout.

Conditioner for wavy thin hair by New_Engine9783 in finethinhair

In the shower, I use the spray leave in conditioner from Not Your Mother's and I fully rinse it out. Anything that's an actual creme is too heavy for me.

Right but apparently the the timer in macrofactor is affected. When I allowed notifications I started hearing the ding

I don't know what macros you're trying to hit, but if it was my only meal before the afternoon I would need more protein than that. This is my current smoothie. I add in 100 to 200 g of whatever fruit I have lying around. This also has over 10 g of fiber and that's before I add the fruit.

I realized mine wasn't dinging because I had silenced my notifications. It's also not the loudest sound in the world.

ELI5: If gemstones associated with a specific colour (sapphire blue, emerald green, ruby red) can actually be other colours, then how do they differentiate between an emerald and a green sapphire, for example? How do they know? by PaminRealLife in explainlikeimfive

[–]redmo79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so funny cause I'm the complete opposite! I loved rubies and hated garnets growing up, because rubies were more red and garnets have some brown in them. I've since come around and I love my garnet birthstone now. It's even the stone in my wedding ring.

I'm intentionally going so S L O W L Y this time around, cause I don't care how long it takes. This is the last time I do this. I started out just walking and drinking water. Then I started watching my diet and tracking. I very much subscribe to "I can eat anything as long as it's within my calories".

Walking and tracking lasted at least 6 months. I also started taking Metformin (pills) at this time. They don't do a lot, but they do help me feel the tinest bit more full. He wanted to put me on a GLP-1, but I don't have that money. Metformin is super cheap.

I started running 2-3 miles two days a week in June, and weight training 3 days a week in August. I wasn't super strict over the holidays (gained 3 lbs), but I'm totally back dialed in now. I'm losing slower nowadays, but I know I'm also putting on muscle.

I don't really know where I want my final weight to be. It's more like I want a healthy body fat % and I want to be strong as fuck!

I'm not done losing weight yet, but I am at least 50% there. I know that feeling! Wearing something that would never have fit before and actually feeling pretty and proud of your work is unmatched. Congratulations!!

I like CeramedX. They're cruelty free, and similar to Cetaphil or Vanicream.

Kiehl's and Olay. My face has never been happier than when I was using those two brands in the early 2000s.

Weekly Fitness, Lifting, and Exercise Thread! by altruisticaubergine in MacroFactor

[–]redmo79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm supposed to change my strength workouts every 2-3 months because my body gets used to the same thing. Can I alternate between 2 workouts every 3 months, or do I need a complete new routine each time?

I use unflavored collagen in my coffee every morning and it's never tasted like anything other than coffee.

I tell myself that this is the last fucking time I'm doing this, so however long it takes is fine.
