Thanks!

I was remarking to ThatFanficGuy yesterday that '40 pounds' sounds a lot better than '18 kilos' so I'm going to keep using the imperial measurements.

I just realized you went from 20 lbs heavier than me to 20 lbs lighter than me while I'm busily peddling through 1300 miles and losing fuckall.

I'd be super interested in seeing what your bloodwork looks like.

Three vials drawn Sunday. Benefits of having a Quest pickup box on your doorstep.

Doing a spit test today. Last time, my doctor called me up and said "not only are your cortisol levels the highest I've ever seen, they literally exceed the guidelines of the test."

Article in Mother Jones today against meals suggesting that fasting for one or two meals a day is helpful to your metabolism. Quoted a study with an n of 32. Speaking as someone who did that for four years, mmmmmyeah you don't wanna do that.

Honestly during the big blow up last week in the Pubski, the word "cortisol" did cross my mind in relation to your experiences.

And if I were trying to have a discussion about my medical experience with weight loss, I would have mentioned it. Instead, I was off-handedly stating my frustration.
