Just bought a gshock with a pedometer

What's a normal amount of pedo to have because I'm worried mine has been a little bit high the past week.

I still feel nothing towards children so I'm not sure what's going on. Should I return it?

Think I finally found a good strategy for a lasting hold

I have been struggling with the egde of my flange around the stoma always failing quickly.

I have a 'fold' immediately between the stoma and the skin, sort of a dip around 1mm deep on the right side that makes it very difficult to get a good seal, and even with a strong convex it basically will give me pressure sores before it solves the problem.

I realized one of the main issues I've been having is that I have a slightly mushroomed stoma and dropping my bag on without the flange making any contact with it is nearly impossible.

Flange touches the stoma, gets slimed, doesn't stick, seal fails.

So now what I do is I dab my stoma dry, then lay an arc of paste along the skin just above my stoma, so I can observe and make sure I can get it right up to the edge without any stoma goo getting trapped under it and ruining my seal.

Next I lay an arc of paste along the bottom of the flange on my bag.

I once more dab the bottom of my stoma to make sure there's no goo, and now I can slide my bag up from the bottom to line the hole up without worry that I'll get stoma goo between my skin and the bag / paste, and I can lower the top half over my stoma and onto the paste that's already on my skin.

I've gone from 1-2 bags a day to getting 2+ days.

Still hard with an end ileo with watery output and the little fold around my stoma, but way better than what I was dealing with prior.

Debating between a timeless and trusted brand and a microbrand I really like

Saving up for my next watch and really like these two.

The phoibos is so nice and after seeing non promo shots of it, it's really a stunning watch.

I like the seiko a lot too, but it's fairly pricey and difficult to source meaning I won't be able to pre-screen for alignment issues which would be idea given Seiko's tendency towards them.

But if in a few years I realize it's not quite right for me the Seiko retains a lot of value. The Phoibos will not.

I'm the kind that only keeps maybe 4-6 watches because I end up with one or two that are just so stand out for me that the others collect dust. And unfortunately there's no way to predict how I'll deel about a watch after a few months. I have had some I loved initially but over time little things made me realize it wasn't right for me so resale is a big part of my equation.

But that Phoibos though...

Supplements impacting your taste?

Anyone ever experience supplements altering your taste?

I started myo inositol last week and suddenly I can't stand the taste of coffee. It's overly sour and acidic and overpowering all the earthy notes. I've never been a fan of acidic tasting coffee so it's really a buzz kill.

It's the only change I've made so I have to assume it's related.

Anyone else kinda hate the left one, especially when the makers deceptively don't include the case back in their thickness specs?

I got a citizen NY00 which is basically like the left where the case back protrudes beyond the case itself by about .7mm

Their adverising all reports 12mm but it's actually 12.7 with the case back.

It basically rests on a polished case back against your skin on a small area and is a source of sweat irritation for me.

It feels like there's an effort to disguise the actual thickness of a watch by having the lugs float above the caseback and reducing the surface area against your skin, but it's trading comfort for aesthetics.

Myo inositol and berberine for those without pio access?

For those without access to pio, could berberine and myo inositol help fat distribution?

Debating on if these are safe to take together with MTF HRT.

Currently on valerate and bica.

I gained about 50 lbs going from underweight 130ish to 180 at 5'11 in the last 2 years. A lot went to my legs which is cool, but basically none to hips, a lot to love handles and tummy.

My arms, back, calves and shoulders are still very lean.

I was looking into supplements to help feminine fat distribution and AI, of course in its limited and often flawed knowledge, suggested insulin sensitivity modulating supplements like berberine and myo inositol.

I was thinking of pairing these with lower body resistance training and doing a cut, then regaining some weight.

Is it worth it?
