As of today, 20 lbs down, 40 more to go! Let’s gooooo!

Hello! I have an MBA and am working on a DBA. Change Management (most likely as a consultant) is my goal, but not a lot of opportunity for this kind of work exists in my area. However, as it did for many others the pandemic changed a lot for me. I am now able to be remote, relocate or even just travel a lot. I have worked for the last 10 years, but most of my experience is in business management. I am needing advice on the best entry roles or development programs to break into the field!

Hi Fishes,

Will it be a good idea to switch from Accounts Receivable profile to a Data Analyst profile?

I wanted to get people's opinions on leetcode, codewars etc when prepping for interviews. I am a junior full stack dev looking to move to a better paying junior role or a mid role and honestly these style of questions have always stumped me. I have found that in a year of work to have never found them useful in tackling real world issues. Now I'm moving from a junior to a mid can I still expect leetcode style questions?

I work mainly with react, TS, node, graphql, mongoose and mongoDB.

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

Does anyone have any experience with NewRocket?

Anybody tried Ginger or therapy through texting? Would love to know your thoughts. I can see it being neat since I tend to express my feelings and thoughts better in writing. I also tend to downplay how I really feel in person with a friend but less so when I’m texting them my feelings. But worried about the quality of therapists and my words actually being saved in my files, amongst other things.

Best mattress? Looking in the 1000-1200 dollar range as I think it’s worth the investment. I’ve read online reviews but would love some anecdotes as well. Stomach and side sleeps for reference. Thanks!

Any thoughts on the 75 Hard challenge? I’ve started seeing it circulate on social media again and I’m interested to give it a try (I do better working out and eating well in a framework). But, I’m not sure I love how rigid the program is - seems like it could be setting you up for a bad relationship with your diet and/or exercise.

Anyone here have a strangely low resting heart rate? Mine is pretty low, but I don’t feel faint or any of the other negative symptoms of a lower heart rate, which has kept me from going to then doctor. Curious if anyone has experienced something similar.

Ist Headspace worth the bucks in your opinion?

More for the women in the group, but has anyone noticed side effects changing/becoming negative after being on the pill for some years? I’ve been on it on & off for 10yrs but in the last 2-3 I’ve noticed some different (mostly emotional) side effects. For context, I haven’t changed the meds, but sometimes I skip a month if I can’t get Rx refilled in time or am not active.On recent skip months I noticed I feel less depressed than normal, so I’m starting to wonder if I should stop altogether...

Hitting the early morning yoga.

Is it possible to lose weight with minimum workout and no extreme diets? I know I have to change my eating habits but I really don't believe that cutting carbs or sugar completely out of my life is the answer. Was planning to have green smoothies in the morning, and then lunch and dinner 50% veggies, 25% carbs and 25% protein. If I have a carby meal like pasta then the other one in the same day has to be only veggies and protein. Does this sound ok?

My biggest hurdle for the past 18 odd years has been my constant insecurities of my weight - physical appearences and comfortability in the skin I wear.

It has been a conscious choice of lifestyle and innumerable efforts to deal or cope with the day to day ordeals of weight imbalances. 3 years ago I made a decision to end this long lasting toxic relationship with my weight and in year and halfs time, I managed to scale myself from being 260 pounds to 205. But it has caught up without mercy

I think that I have eating disorder. I am always hungry but when I get food I can’t finish it, usually I am done after 2-3 bites and then I am hungry again after an hour. Anyone has similar issues? Have you been to a nutritionist or dietitian? If yes, is it covered by Insurance?

I’m on day one of eating at an intentional calorie deficit for the first time (1500 calories versus my usual 1800 goal, have a few pounds to lose from some early summer socializing). How do I manage feeling hungry when I’m at my calorie count for the day? I have a difficult time with discipline/impulse control at times). Please send any tips my way!

Fit bit vs. Apple Watch? My husband is a fitness nut using an old Fitbit (several generations old) and he also has an iPhone. I thought an upgrade might be nice for our anniversary. Is one definitively better than the other?
