I'm trying to lose weight and I know there's the thing of needing to do more than 3x a week at the gym to actually lose and 3 to maintain? Have you found that to be real? 3 is about all I can manage.

Diet matters just as much. If you’re working out more but also consuming more you may not see much results

Diet for sure and maybe see if you could find something you could do at home too, even if it’s only 15-30 min when you can’t go to the gym. You could also try to increase your daily steps

You can just start eating less. You need to go to the gym often if you want unrestricted diet

Diet matters most for losing weight. Focus more on not having calorie dense sugary and salty processed food. This alone helps reduce weight a lot.
40-60 mins workout 3 days/week is a good for staying fit.

Diet is way more important. You can lose weight without working out just like you can gain despite working out. It’s mainly about a calorie deficit.

Burn more calories than you consume.
Working out amplifies the calories you consume.
Working out supports the burning part 3 days is plenty.
Lifting weights or weight resistance means you have more muscles, muscles are constantly burning calories.
Drinking water, fibrous foods, and not drinking calories.

3x a week in the gym could promote weight loss. You won't look like a shredded body builder with 3 days a week.

On non gym days focus on your step count more.

Can you walk 2 more days a week along with your 3 gym days? Weight lifting is a good way to boost your metabolism. My sister was successful with red yellow green diet: some foods were green (fruits, vegetables and protein), carbs were yellow and sweets were red. Eat the green, slow down on the yellow and stop with the red.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
