New to London but moved halfway through marathon training. Did not expect to move here but i really want to do my first half marathon next year.

I’ve signed up for the London Landmarks but i didnt have any money so i couldnt sign for the second round 🥲🥲

I know im late for the hackney half but i was wondering when other ballots would open up- like the london half?? i cant find anything online on when the london half ballot opens for 2027 so i thought id ask here!

For context, I’m going to start a summer internship in IB M&A soon (in 2 weeks!). And recently i’ve gained almost 10kg and I need the weight OFFF.

I’m 55kg at 152 cm, which if you’re a guy you might think is nothing but at my height 57kg is considered overweight. And I look pretty chubby.

I want to start a WL journey before a wedding in october (its june). But i don’t know if it’s going to be absolutely impossible with IB. Does anyone have any tips on keeping fit whilst working those 70h+ weeks? + dealing with after work pubs, and social events.. etc

Since I’m small my calorie budget is pretty small, my tdee is like 1500 lol :/

Hi I’m looking for a jayvik fanfic that deals w the political issues of arcane, like the whole piltover zaun imperialism thing

Recently bought this "Cold Brew Infusion" tea from whittard. in the instructions it says to brew over cold water for 10 minutes. I tried it, left it for 15 minutes or so and it was absolutely wonderful. I was wondering if this tea was actually made speciallyl to be brewed over cold water, or can I brew any tea (or almost any tea) over iced water.

Like, can i buy just any fruity tea (not one that says that its for cold brew infusion) and brew it over cold water for 10 min and will it taste just like this??

Also don't know if i should tag this as a question or as a recommendation- i definetely recommend this tea, though i am not a tea expert, it just tasted good

It's summer, i'm melting, but i still want to take coffee to work.

I have the medium travel mug and it genuinely is spillproof- but is the travel tumbler spillproof? it just does not look 100% spillproof idk. I want to take my iced coffee with me to work (and drink it with a straw if not the ice cubes freeze my teeth), but i throw my mug inside my bag with my laptop so im a bit concerned.

if anyone hhas this travel tumbler and tosses it on their work bag and it dosent spill, let me know!

Hi everyone! I’ve also gained weight throughout my life- though i can 100% see how that is lifestyle change rather than gaining weight suddenly with no change in diet and lifestyle.

I’ve seen a lot of posts, not only in this sub but just in the internet in general about pcos weight gain and I wanted to know the science behind it.

Weight gain or loss is a calories in/calories out calculation. What is it about pcos that disrupts this? Do our maintenance calories decrease? (And if so by how much)? Or is it that we burn less?

OR is it that our hunger cues get fucked, people start eating more, and in that case it would be that pcos changes your eating habits, which then makes you consume more cals and thus weightgain?

I want to know because I track my calories pretty diligently, but i am young so i want to know if i should still expect to gain weight even though i am tracking what i eat (yes even mindless snacking).

Yeah thats all thanks! Just wanna know more about how this condition impacts my life

Hi everyone. I am 152cm, 54.5kg and I was wondering what I would look when I get down to 52.5kg. I have a dress that I want to fit in to and I wanted to see how much I need to loose to get there.

I’ve seen a lot of posts that say that a 2kg loss is nothing, but considering my height and my weight (that is high with respect to my body but not really high in the big scheme of things), I was wondering if 2kg (of FAT LOSS) would be noticeable?

Also I am not talking about 2kg scale loss I am talking about 2kg of fat loss, so a total deficit of 15,400.

If anyone has before and after pics that would be great🩷 thank u all

Hi everyone! I love to read at night, and I'm looking for a reading light. I bought the one that xteink offers but its absolutely awful. I usually read horizontally (so laying down) and it always falls down and its too bright to read with all the lights off and its awful.

I thought of buying the Ulanzi, but the problem is that since it sticks onto the back I wouldnt be able to have my pop socket on the xteink and thus wont be able to hold it up.

Anyways I'm looking for a good reading light with a very dim setting, that can be placed on the xteink whilst it has a pop socket on the back. Idk if such a product exits but i thought that there was no harm coming here and asking!

Hi everyone I've heard that crossink is a "fork" of crosspoint - I assume that means its based on crosspoint and its like a variation? Anwyays after seeing a lot of videos I think im interested in downloading crossink straight off. I just received my xteink and its loading and I was just wondering If i had to install crossink FIRST and THEN its "fork", crosspoint

Hi everyone, my xteink arrived a couple of days ago and I was wondering where everyone got their cases? I know some are 3D printed but i dont have access to a 3d printer but i was wondering if anywhere sold cases (no temu and shein please) ?

Hi everyone, as the title suggests my ninja crispi pro came broken, the heating element has melted (?) for some reason. Ninja gave me a replacement but now ive got a broken ninja sitting around the house.

Im wondering whether I should just throw it away, recycle it, or sell it for parts? Dont know whats the best avenue.

I’m based in the UK also!

The Innioasis Rockbox installer/updater would not run properly on my laptop because it is a Windows ARM (Snapdragon) device. I need to try to do the linux version but i have a windows (a lenovo yoga), i dont know what to do i have been looking online ages for help but i dont know how to do this

Hi everyone I've been trying to install rockbox in my new mp3 player. I am a complete idiot when it comes to technology (I found out what "bricking" means today) and I've been struggling to isntall rockbox (I still dont understand why i need to install a so called "updater" to install rockbox) and this pop-up came up. I dont know what to do should I continue? I have a lenovo yoga laptop I have no idea what this means! Help pls

There’s a post in this subreddit asking this same question but the original poster said that they could not have oil because they are on a low fat diet and all the responses only recommend him to use an oil spray/ use less oil.

I can’t have oil at all for different reasons. Is there a way to roast veggies/ have crispy veggies with no oil at all ? (I’m thinking broccoli, sweet potato, zuchini, etc). Edit: can’t have butter either

If anyone could help that would be great🩷

Been wanting to buy an ipod but they are all £50+ :(

In vinted and ebay its so expensive

I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy an ipod for cheap in the uk

thanks!

Just ordered a xteink x4 and im super exited!!

I thought it was arriving within 7-10 days as that is what it said on the website but i just realized it says 7-10 days to SHIP.

Now I'm wondering when I can expect it to arrive. If anyone has ordered directly from the xteink store- how long did your order take to arrive? (UK)

Has anyone ever bought standoil shoes? I know they won't be the best quality in the sense that they probably won't last 5+ years. But I want to know if anyone has ever bought shoes from this brand and can attest that at least they look decent?

I don't really care about durability but I do care that they don't look super cheap. I can't really find reviews online since they're all in korean!! if anyone has bought from here pls lmk :)

I have a kindle but i always gravitate to just reading in my phone (kindle app) because I like to read laying sideways and in the dark before I go to sleep.

Because of the harsh iphone light, I was thinking of getting a small ereader. I like the look of the xteink but I’ve heard it has no light? So that you cant read it in the dark. I’ve been looking and I cant seem to find what I’m looking for, an affordable small ereader with light (enphasis on affordable I’m not spending £200 on a 5 inch ereader)

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should buy? Alternatively, should I but the xteink and just buy a reading light? Thanks everyone x
