Here is the sloppy photo collage I originally created last summer. I added a couple of new photos since I've made progress again, although I've been pretty relaxed about my goals this past winter due to a stressful job. PHOTO

I'm 5'10. I started my lifestyle change when I was about 19/20, I turn 24 this summer. Keto followed shortly thereafter. I went from about 190 to somewhere in the 150s so far. Not sure what my goal is now, I think I'm aiming for 145 this summer. Happy to answer any questions, although I have never been one to follow the rules, so take my advice as you will.

My life (job, living, social life) has been transplanted to the North Loop area of Minneapolis. I'm from Longfellow originally and lived in Saint Paul for far too long during college, so I don't know this area at all.

Looking for favorite restaurants, good happy hours/bars, coffee shops, boutiques, hidden gems, etc. Thank you!

I'm looking into getting an IUD and don't like the options I currently have living in the US (MN). I'm trying to find non-hormonal options, so Mirena is out, and I've only heard about how painful the copper one is.

I've heard that Canada has about 10 different options for IUDs, and already being in Minnesota, it wouldn't be too out of my way to take a weekend trip there. Does anyone know names or have info about IUDs that we can't get in the US? So far I've only heard of "gynefix" but there doesn't seem to be much info about it.

This has nothing to do with Swedish House Mafia. This has everything to do with u/epooka and u/pievendor celebrating their Swedish heritage and getting Scandilicious. This week we are going to the Swedish Institute in Minneapolis! Obviously you don't have to be Swedish to come.

Right now the current exhibits they have are Nordic Christmas and Nordic Lace. Sounds pretty badass, right?

We'll meet there at noon. Epooka and Pievendor are both tall and Scandinavian and will be standing in the lobby/entrance until 12:10. If you are late, ask the front desk lady where we are.

ADMISSION IS $7 ($4 for students w/ ID) we will also probably have lunch at Fika, the cafe there.

I'm too lazy to start any original drama myself, so I'll just rustle everyone's jimmies by bringing up something that happened way back last month.

p.s. upvote if you think the mods are stupid buttfaces

this is totally just my throwaway account where I enjoy pretending to be a girl on the internet
