Sorry - got a bit wild with it.

Re:The grandmaster diet: How to lose weight while barely moving on Friday September 13, 2019 @01:18PM (#20964161)
I was going to ask: actual weight or water weight? Because I do tend to dehydrate myself in new/unfamiliar places, especially when forced to do things to someone else's schedule and without my favorite things to drink on hand.

But a week seems too long to gain it back unless you weren't measuring very often.

I'd love to track blood pressure, pulse, and weight religiously but it's hard to remember to do any more than highly irregularly, and the app I use for bp and weight can't track pulse.

For me it's a treasure hunt I never asked for.

- Was it left at my apartment door?

- Was it left in the 2nd floor mail room/lobby?

- Was it left in the 1st floor main entry/lobby?

- Was it left outside?

- Was it left in some side door?

- Was it left halfway between the 2nd and 3rd floor on a random stairway?

- Was it left in the office?

- Will I have to wait 3 more days so I can report it lost/stolen and try again?

So fun.

Not to get into the "Prime 1-day", which when I order three 1-day things at the same time means one shows up tomorrow, one the next day, and one the day after.
