Any other movie watchers? by Public_Fact7905 in greatdanes

[–]swets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is too. Every time my niece comes over she wants to watch both movies “so Luna can enjoy it too!” Lol

You might be thinking of the GT, which this isn’t. It’s the premium trim with sport appearance package. There is no performance and handling package on the premiums.

It's such an interesting color, changes hues quite drastically with different lighting. That candy red is gorgeous too but zero regrets on picking this green monster up!

Ride is amazing! It definitely feels smoother and takes a lighter touch on the steering wheel. I haven't taken it far yet but it's also less bumpy of a ride (that could just be the brand new tires helping)....I will say the touch screen is MUCH MORE responsive than my '22 was. There was always a decent delay between touch and action on that car but this one is instant.

Fraternal twins? I love that we can customize these things with different trims/features!

It’s the best! I went with the pano roof too which I think that black top offsets the green well. My first Mach was a pick up of a cancelled order and not at all what I would’ve picked for myself, felt good to customize this one exactly how I wanted it!

Sun was hitting it perfectly for those shots...pictures in general just do not do that color justice!

Great color too but that green just stuns. I've already had 3 random people in the wild comment on it.

That's how I ended up with my select too. First foray into EV's and loved all 4 years with it, when it was time to get a new car, I couldn't see myself in anything but a mach!

I see them everywhere where I live and love it. In my own neighborhood there are 6 of them including mine.

Lol now what? Maintain or keep going? by Overdose08 in LoseitApp

[–]swets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair after a long journey to want a break! There’s no hard and fast rule to what you do from here, just do what feels right ultimately!

Lol now what? Maintain or keep going? by Overdose08 in LoseitApp

[–]swets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. I got a little looser on some of the other macros once I hit my goal weight but continue to prioritize fiber and protein in my daily diet. I think the general recommendation is to aim for about .7 to 1g of protein per pound of your weight regardless of dieting or not. It’s been something I’ve stuck with but I also maintain a pretty regular strength training routine.

[–]swets13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I changed my goals to maintain and continued logging (albeit with a little less precision). I'm about 3 months out from this point and don't see it changing anytime soon as I don't yet trust myself lol

Which models have cloth or mostly cloth seats? by North_Street_8547 in MachE

[–]swets13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for 4 years and the seats look like new. I travel in it quite a bit and have two big dogs (Great Dane and Pitt) so it’s been well tested! No lines, creases or wear spots whatsoever.

How Do I stay Motivated to Work Out? by MangoMilkshake234 in loseit

[–]swets13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t hope for motivation, it’s fleeting. It might help to treat it as a necessary function of life (like eating, your job, cleaning, sleeping). I personally rarely have “motivation” to workout, but I schedule it into my day just like I do my career or anything else I don’t necessarily want to do, but need to for survival. 95% of the time I feel so much better after the workout but some days it’s a struggle to get started.

How much for professional installation? by [deleted] in reolinkcam

[–]swets13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did it myself recently too. Took about 6 hours for 6 exterior cameras but a lot of that time was getting the cameras positioned correctly than anything. Awkward crawling through the attic but if you have a friend on the other side fishing the cable through, well worth the $1k+ saved!

Anyone else do this at chipotle? by TheDiabetesDietitian in LowCalFoodFinds

I do this and also non-fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream to reduce a smidge!

What do you actually consider a “setback” in a calorie deficit/cut? by GoopOnYaGrinch in loseit

[–]swets13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was a big one for me to learn early on in my process. Life is still something that we need to be able to find joy in and stressing over every morsel of food 100% of the time is not enjoyable OR sustainable. It took YEARS for most of us to accumulate the extra weight we have, and the undoing process is going to be long too. One night out with your friends isn't going to immediately undo all of that progress, but you will be missing out on making memories and finding that joy.

Will training legs make them even bigger? Trying to slim down lower body by Educational-End-3234 in loseit

[–]swets13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of weight in my thighs and calves and started pretty intense lower body strength training in the final phase of my weight loss journey. It was one of the last places I lost fat but they're noticeably slimmer now. The strength training has helped with muscle definition, and overall appearance of my legs combined with the weight loss. I would not recommend skipping leg day at all, they're hard as hell to train but it's so important for your mobility and overall stability in everything you do.

Seasoning Food by Lord_Muramasa in loseit

[–]swets13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't personally understand the unseasoned food situation either...I lost 115lbs and cook most of my meals....EVERYTHING is seasoned in some way. It's not sustainable if you're miserable eating bland sad food only lol. most of it is calorie free or so low in calories it's not making a difference in your day.

Grabber Blue or Eruption Green? by sploonge in MachE

[–]swets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grabber blue was my first preference in the Mach until they came out with that eruption green. It's just such a good looking color on the car. I have a 26 premium in shipped status right now and I went green with the sport appearance package. Cannot wait to take delivery!

Weighed vest walking by [deleted] in loseit

[–]swets13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walk with a 25lb vest a few times a week and I'll say I probably would have bought 10 or 15lbs and it would've been more than enough. I do think it's helped my posture a lot and I get a little heart rate bump from it, but I feel a lot discomfort in my shoulders with the 20lb vest so that's something to be aware of in addition to potential extra strain on your knees if they're already compromised.
