Started keto at 216. Dropped pretty quickly to 209. For about 10 days, my weight hovered between 209 and 214. I got pissed and quit keto. I'm now at 207 w/o doing anything special. I'd absolutely love to get to 195 but would settle for 200. Seeing as how I'm about to go balls deep into soccer and cycling, I'm pretty sure the last few lbs will take care of themselves.
I may have found the perfect routine for myself. I take a small breakfast shake for breakfast to school, usually eat an adult (genoa salami / crackers) lunchable for lunch. I have no way of snacking since I'm in an elem school and would never eat the cafeteria food. As a teacher, I probably sit less than 30 mins a day during school. In the evening, I turn into a fatass for one meal.
So few calories (before 5pm) + natural exercise as a teacher + kind of being fat in the evening = losing some weight.

It's crazy the variety of "help" one gets when calling DirectTV. The last guy I called, a month ago, lowered my bill to $80 a month. And, hell, they even tell you to call back in 6 or 12 months to re-up the discount.
When I called, I found out that I haven't been in contract for awhile, so I can switch at any time if I want.

Forgive the ignorant olds question, but I've never messed around with podcasts (one of the few downsides of a short commute). What's the best way to go about listening to that on an Android device, particularly downloadable? The boys and I have a road trip coming up at spring break and that might be cool -- but we'll be going through some areas with crappy or no signal.
I'll only be partially of help, as I did notice you were concerned about some of the coverage areas. I'm listening to the podcast straight off of YouTube. Good thing is that there are no ads. I'm 4 hours in and completely addicted.
This also may help.

I'd never seen The Outsiders. I knew it had a bunch of actors in their first rolls. I didn't know Coppola directed it.
What a terrible effing movie. Just terrible. The music was horrible. The acting was horrible. The only good thing was Diane Lane, who somehow managed about 2 mins of screen time after the initial drive-in scene.

I really don't understand the condescension of parents by some on this thread. If a parent is aware enough to struggle with or question a new teaching concept then, more than likely, the child of said parent will probably be successful whether they use CC or not.
The increasingly smaller percentage of students that have involved parents will be fine regardless of how they add 2 + 2. Does CC help the other 50-80%? That should be the question. And it can be asked w/o trashing those that are concerned.

I'm a teacher, so I'll opine.
There are two different issues here - the practical and the political.
Practically, it is a math strategy that could help some children but confuse the hell out of others. A good teacher knows to differentiate teaching so as many students as possible become successful/proficient. If CC was instituted as one of multiple strategies to teach math (and/or ELA), there probably wouldn't have been much of a controversy. The problem is that, in many cases, it was quickly adopted at the state levels and instituted as the only way to teach math/ELA.
What's interesting about the politics is that people from both sides of the aisle have raised hell both for and against it. You had the Obama administration, Chamber of Commerce Associations, and Exxon/Mobil, for example, lauding it while liberal teacher unions and The Heritage Foundation joined forces against it. Some of the initial objections came from the Feds tying funding to its acceptance at the state level. Essentially, organizations/groups from both sides hated it and supported it.
I started teaching in TN in 2012. At the time, we had spi's for each grade level to teach for the state's standardized test - TCAP. Each district treated the teaching process differently, as they had autonomy. All of the sudden, TN adopts CC and all hell breaks loose. All the districts were basically told that CC would be fully implemented within 3 years and to get your shit in gear. Long story short. The computer versions of the CC tests crashed the first three years, districts were pissed because they spent quite a bit of money on both materials and training, teachers were pissed because they had to do all this new training, parents were pissed because, "WTF is going on". It was a complete disaster. At last check, the TN DoE was trying to figure out how to get out of something they had completely committed to w/o losing even more money and pissing off even more people.
I could add more, but I'm pretty sure I've crossed into tl;dr territory more than once.

It doesn’t change. If you don’t like it, you won’t.
It got a tad better towards the end. I'm just not a big fan of horror movies in which things happen for no reason.
SpoilerSo the mysterious painter had a bad life, died, and his paintings weren't destroyed. This led to them coming to life or something and killing people? Whatevs.

Watching Velvet Buzzsaw right now. This is one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. Granted, I'm only about halfway through, but geez. It's about a bunch of uber douches in the art world and paintings come alive and kill people or something.
@Pato del Muerto should I keep going?

I'm mostly off it (keto) now. It's allowed me to adjust my eating habits for the better, but I'm not sure I needed it for more than just getting a little weight out of the way.
I have three things going for me that should help with the last few lbs.
1) I don't eat or crave sweets. You can stick a cake, pie, cookie, etc... in front of me and I won't touch it - even if I'm hungry. Just don't like them.
2) I'm pretty active comparatively speaking. I teach, so I'm on my feet all day. I also bike and play soccer.
3) I think I have a high metabolism compared to most. I spent the first 30 years of my life trying to gain weight. Granted, I took it about 20 lbs too far, but just eating like a normal human being should do the trick. Not hitting Whataburger, Taco Bueno, etc.. every night plus a 12 pack every weekend is prob going to go a long way in getting where I want to be.
Thanks for all the advice and help to everyone on here. I'll check in periodically.
