Yea I know its not ideal but the problem is that adherence is the most important factor and I cant adhere unless I see very strong results. This is producing that, and I am adhering. I have fallen off the wagon a million times because 1 pound per week is not enough to keep me excited. 4lbs a week is, and its working. Best practice stops being best practice if you stop doing it altogether and human willpower is a massive part of it. In the end, it's one of those things that Im going to cross my arms like a 5 year old and say "i dont care, this is how im doing it" and no one can tell me different, for better or for worse.

I am doing it the real fuckin hard way.

When I started (May 7th) I weighed 270lbs. I am 5'5", so that makes me about as round as I was tall. I am in my 30s, so I was just an absolute ticking time bomb, heart on the brink of explosion. I was also having some less emergent but still very irritating physical issues such as not being able to properly clean myself (too fat to reach) and when I would lay back in my recliner I would feel my neck fat choking me. I reached a point where I had to do something right that second and no matter what it was or how "unhealthy" of a method, it's not worse than dying of a heart attack in my own living room with a tub of ice cream in my lap and a box of oreos on my end table.

So that day I basically cut to 1 very small meal per day. Less than 500 calories. I do that 6 days per week, but on Friday I eat whatever I want, a full 3 meals usually. Some weeks I've eaten 5000 calories on Friday, but my deficit is so strong it doesn't even matter. I also started walking. For the first few days it was no less than 10k steps, but I quickly jumped to 15k. After only about 3 weeks I jumped up to 25k as a goal and I achieved it most days. Eventually, and as of now, 25k is a hard and fast rule and I try to do 30k. I havnt gotten less than 25k since early June.

See the thing is, BMI tells me I need to weigh between 109 and 148. I do think that the top end of that is on the low end of what I actually think I should weigh, given my more muscular build, but regardless, I was twice that.

I only weigh on Fridays (it's a mental thing) and as of this past Friday I weighed 213.6. I am still on a very hard cut with my immediate goal being to get under 200, which I should reach before the end of August. Once I'm back in to 100s I'll reevaluate my calorie intake and the speed at which I'm losing.

Currently my estimated TDEE is around 3100 calories and I am losing 4ish pounds per week. If I dial that back to 2.5-3 lbs per week once I get under 200 then I think I can just coast on down to 165 which is what I am currently calling my "goal weight". I fully understand that when I get there I will likely want to keep going since I am guessing 150 or so is where I will be most pleased with how I look. I have not always been morbidly obese. 15 years or so ago 150 was the sweet spot so I imagine it's gonna be somewhere in that neighborhood, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

i am so used to my absolute fucking command center of a PC set up with its multiple televisions, virtually divided monitors and my Samsung Odyssey G9 that the sheer thought of having to use a laptop makes me want to jump off the roof.

No amount of promotion could save the Malibu. It's one of the shittiest cars on the road.

Source: I am a dealer. They almost never run green light and when they do, they fail PSI/arbitrate.

Looks delicious.

How do they know what the hens enjoy?

[–] kuroyousei 17 points 1 year ago

Yea I mean, the 3-5 seconds is the only thing that matters here right? Fuck those assholes who sit on their horn .243 seconds after the light turns green like they are on a drag strip watching the tree.

But if I've been sittin there for a few seconds and havnt realized the light has turned then I'm not gonna get upset about a short, light honk.

I believe that the only basic human right is the right to participate and function in your local society (whatever that means to your individual situation). In other words, you dont really have the innate right to anything, but you absolutely have the right to participate and receive the amount of benefit from others that you provide to them. For better or worse (and im not going to argue about it) the way we do that today, in this society, is currency.

That doesn't make any sense. Necessity is the driving factor for it to cost money

Shit take. You are certainly allowed to like what you like, and I'll never tell you not to. But dont sit there and tell me that what I like is bad because its not what you like. I actively dont want a plot. The plot nearly always impedes the thing that I do want. I want to see the characters having cute, funny, and entertaining interactions with each other. When there is a plot that always needs to be driven, you lose a lot of the more casual interactions because they are busy with more serious situations.

I don't even play half the games I buy. I just pre-order them so I get the cool goodies that come with the game like art books, metal cases, tapestries, etc.

You are the second person who has commented something similar. I'm not asking about the mechanics of the search mechanism, I'm asking for suggestions. Its pretty easy to understand the implication with the way I worded the question.

[–] kuroyousei 1 points 1 year ago

I dont care about the hate speech. I'm not going to engage in it, nor am i offended by it. But I want to have the ability to decide for myself what sort of questionable debauchery i participate in and what i scroll past and ignore. I don't want a community where the moderators decide for me.
