05/01 - Talonflame Tuesday!

Girl, I feel you.

I've been failing to gain weight literally my entire life. Mom had me drinking Ensure by the time I was 7 years old.
I am starting to put weight on a little bit more easily now that I've crossed the "over 30" threshold, but not much. I'm sure it is incredibly difficult to lose weight, but I can definitely attest to how hard it can be to gain when you've got genetics and a crazy metabolism fighting against you. Especially if you're trying to eat healthily at the same time.

I don't have a whole lot of advice, just wanted to commiserate.

I've noticed a little bit of success recently with increased protein combined with exercise, and just eating small meals more frequently instead of 1 or 2 big ones. I know, frequent eating generally increases metabolism, but I find that it helps me to consume more calories over the course of a day as long as I focus on calorie dense foods (like avocados, eggs, and various other proteins), since I personally can't eat a ton of calories in one sitting on a regular enough basis.

Definitely join us over in the Fit Friends group if you're interested! There are at least a couple of us struggling with the same issue.

 

got approved. that is something.

 

Is DMG Amsterdam responsive to messages? Sitting in a HIT that's been frozen for a few minutes.

He is. He responded me about pending HITs, no solution yet but he replied my email in less than 12 hours.

 

Hello, I'm wondering if I'm pricing my validation HITs appropriately. The task is named: Decide whether a sentence describes a pair of image. (4 T&F question). I released ~2000 of those few hours ago.

Since the HIT is visible to public I included an example below. There are 4 of those True or False questions in a single HIT. Each HIT is priced $0.09. So if you're complete 1 HIT every 30s, then the pay should be around $10.8/hour. But it appears the HIT is going out at a rather slow rate so I'm wondering if I missed anything.

 

those were the most on fire chicken wings i've had in town

 

Thanks!

me either. They look ok to me.

 

At least I assume it is those hits?

 

Had this happen once, each of us closed the window and reopened the HIT. It reconnects you exactly where you were (best to do 1 person at a time) and that gave us the submit buttons back (neither of us submitted until we were both back).

YMMV.
