This is very similar to me. I went from 86kg to 81kg in January. I noticed that after going on intense exercise, I can lose over half a kg from sweating out water. Which means I have cycles of "fake" weight loss whenever I exercise.

My end goal is 68kg. Since I'm 179cm tall 32 year old man, 63-79kg is the healthy range. Good Luck with your journey.

Reply to Rivers of the World! coloured according to the major hydrological basins they are part of. [OC] by symmy546

The ones for the continents look great and maybe accurate but the ones for island nations look off and should've been of different colors. The one I'm knowledgeable of - for the Philippines, I can tell you that just the northern main island (Luzon), there should be different systems and not all of them are of the same drainage area. The map makes it look like all the rivers in an island are all connected to one another.

This was a result of 10 km briskly paced walking daily plus quite a restricted diet. I agree with you that 6½ kgs is a lot in a month and I do plan to tone it down a little from now on.

I think it's interesting that the calculated caloric deficit matches my actual weight loss so accurately. The raw data from today show a difference of 50 grams!

Firstly, this is both interesting data and a remarkable achievement. To lose 6.5 kgs in a month is enormous - congratulations. That said this means that you're creating a ~1,600 kcal deficit per day (assuming this was through both dietary restriction and exercise). My only word of caution would be to proactively slow down progress from here. A more sustainable weight loss objective would be ~0.5 kg/week, to help maintain endocrine and metabolic function. Even at this rate you'll reach your goal in a mere 15 weeks!

Continuing weight loss at the rate expressed in January will likely disrupt your HPTA and overall metabolic function. Importantly, this rate of weight loss will, undoubtedly, begin to catabolize muscle and lean tissue - there is rarely-to-never a circumstance where you want less muscle, assuming your goals are aesthetics, fitness, longevity, disease prevention, and general human well being. :)

Reply to [OC] StackOverflow data: repeat usage intervals by rzykov

In answer to the question, yes.

Stackoverflow has a human problem: one where the questions asked are scrutinized and criticized for the mere hint of duplication, or being "too easy to google". Humans will always add a layer of subjectivity, bias, and getting off-topic.

ChatGPT is non-judgmental and doesn't mind the same question to be asked over and over. It won't hold a grudge, use sarcasm, or offer a snide comment. Though it will provide a tidal wave of information, it's answers may be viewed with suspicion or seen as non-authoritative in some areas, but for code, it should prove fairly accurate. Time will tell.
