  • https://connect.garmin.com/modern/profile/1d2f017a-a03a-4126-aec1-b6250c3ca0cb Feel free to add me. I've had a garmin watch for a while but I haven't used it very extensively. I do weightlifting and swimming MWF. I'd also like to get back into mountain biking at some point.
  • I find them to be equally important for me. They go hand in hand, imo, for massive weight loss. I didn't start seeing success until I started eating more protein and curbing my carb / fat intake to prioritize protein in order to keep my muscle mass as I lose weight. I have a LOT of weight to lose, like I've lost a little…
  • I've heard Phrak's Greyskull LP Variant recommended to new gym users a few times. You can do that along with 1 day of light cardio for a good beginner program! Also don't forget maintaining mobility of your joints + stretching! There's video walkthroughs of the mobility (1,2) and the stretching (1). Those'll both help…
  • Yeah, that's exactly what I mean when I say "money grubbers."
  • I was on a keto diet since about August, and don't have anything particularly good or bad to say about it. It's just like any other diet. I attempted keto because I have an autoimmune disorder, and I've heard from others with the same disorder that it'd helped alleviate their symptoms. This hasn't really been the case for…
  • The Garmin vivoactive hr is the only one that's really hit all my requirements. I wish it was a little more flush to the wrist though. I'm happy with my fitbit flex 2, but when/if it dies I'm switching to Garmin.
  • I've been doing keto for a week now, and I did the AIP for about a month beforehand. Feel free to add me!
  • Anyway, I think the solution is single payer, but that's just my disabled, commie opinion.
  • This is what makes me worried, as I have 2 diseases that are potentially genetic. Studies are still being done on that, and right now there's only a correlation. I depend on certain medications that help me cope with those diseases. What happens to me when my premium goes up based on that? Nothing good. If I can't afford…
  • I think I hit my first whoosh... I was getting ready to take a shower and I was thinking... Hey, is my waist a little thinner? Hopped on the scale and found I'd lost 3lbs. Nice!
  • Idk what the big issue is with macros. When I first calculated what all I was eating, it was like 90% carbs and a marginal amount of protein and fat. I think a lot of poor folk who just eat ramen (me in the past) would benefit more from a focus on education regarding macros instead of the general "Eat at a deficit and…
  • Oh gosh, and here's the biggest unpopular opinion: Macros matter more than calories. If all your calories come from just fat, or just carbs, things probably aren't going to work for you. You need to calculate your macro needs!
  • I never got *kitten* when I was a smoker. And I don't recall any warning on the packaging but the usual Surgeon General thing. There are people don't want to date smokers because secondhand smoke is a legitimate health issue. Plenty of smokers don't experience health problems, sure, but plenty of non-smokers experience…
  • I've had a Flex 2 for a while but I'm still getting used to using it regularly! https://www.fitbit.com/user/5JQHSF
  • Yup, same here. And I have a brand new septum piercing, so I keep jabbing it by accident when wiping my nose.
