I was just at Punk Rock Bowling in Vegas, got to see the almighty Turbonegro, as well as the tail end of Lagwagon's set. The festival is definitely getting bigger, the festival shows as well as many club shows sold out fast this year.

Caught Ghost the other night (2nd time) They actually weren't that impressive. Saw Ides of Gemini & Demon Lung last night (Ides opening on Ghost tour, but they had off-tour club show). Both bands were heavy doom ala Sleep/Earth

Welcome and good luck!

Stoked to be seeing Clutch & Orange Goblin tonight, and Wednesday as well.

Ghost playing LA 4/15, see you there!

Yes, but I've only managed to stick with a diet like that for a few months at a time, and of course I gained the weight back. I guess the LCHF diet is for me, because it's allowed me to lose more than twice as much as any diet I'd tried in the past, and stay on it for 16 months. I just believe for me, carbs led me to…

This is what I take when I travel, it holds up for over a day. If you have time to cook the bacon, you're golden!

My forearms look like they belong to a 150-pounder. My stomach looks like it belongs to an elephant.

3 days? Wow. If each of my friends doesn't post a witty or supportive comment on my profile every 2 hours, I kick 'em to the curb.

I wish I could do that regularly! I aim for 70% + in fat, but usually it's more like 55-60%. I just love meat too much.

I wouldn't be worried about looking for just protein so much, IMHO you should be looking for fatty things, that's what makes LCHF work. Upping protein is easy, upping your fat is hard! In a pinch, fast food burgers w/out bun & ketchup works fine. Keep individual packets of almonds handy. Salads with no croutons, add full…

I don't work out much, but for some reason when I do, it's something by Dillinger Escape Plan, or Overkill. DEP if I want something high energy, and Overkill if I want something anthemic.

Yes! Low carb diet plus intermittent exercise (activities mostly, like walking, golf, bowling) helped me lose 100 in about 13 months.

Overkill (just tonight!)

MSI is "metal enough" for me. Lately been listening to these LPs: Early Graves - Red Horse 3 Inches of Blood - Fire Up The Blades C.O.C. - Animosity Graveyard - Lights Out Redd Kross - Researching the Blues Overkill - Electric Age (seeing them in 2 days!)

A most excellent list!

Favorites? I'm stoked this week got 3 Inches of Blood Friday, then Supersuckers on Saturday. Later in the month COC, HOF, Hirax, Agent Steel, Redd Kross & Melvins again

Well I've been going to shows since I was 16, and when I lived in the SF/Bay Area, went to metal shows 3 nights a week. Impossible to list the1000s of bands I saw. So I'll just list many of the bands of note in the last 10 years or so: (the # of times is all-time tho) Turbonegro 4x QOTSA 12x Eagles of Death Metal 3x Le…

LOL I'm old enough to remember when core wasn't a 4-letter word.

It's very possible for some, if you're heavy enough at the start. I lost just a tad over 100 in a year, and could have done better if I had stuck with a strict regimen. I lost 50lbs in the 1st 3 months, then 54lbs in the next 9. I still have another 50+ to go, and I will be thrilled if I can average 5lbs a month. Good luck!

I keep on clicking on this thread and thinking "WTF? Who has a problem eating LCHF?" Then I go "OH YOU!"

Love me some 6FU & DF. Also been listening to The Aborted's Global Flatline a lot recently. Just got in the mail today - Early Graves "Red Horse." New CD out this week, about to pop it in.

Excellent progress, you look fantastic!

Dez Farfara - Dark Meadowlark single. His sister is battling cancer and he wrote this song to help defray her medical costs. Pretty decent tune http://www.dezfafara.com/index.php/9-uncategorised/71-help-support-kerri-s-corner-and-download-some-great-music

I would say 1200 is borderline low for someone who's 193, but my guess is that eventually you'll get more of an appetite. I had days where I ate only 14-1500 (when I weighed 300), but now I can't go through a day with that little.

Glad to have you! How do you transition from glam/hair over to black metal? That's a wide gap!

Right on man, new Overkill is blistering. I love jogging to that CD. I get looks when singing "I wish you were dead" with the headphones on.

The Killer Clowns from Outer Space

Have you tried running on grass? I go down to my local softball field and jog around the perimeter of the outfield. I don't have a treadmill and am too cheap to pony up for a gym membership. Pavement and cement are too tough on my knees, but I find that grass is cushiony enough to let me get 3-4 miles in before the aches…

As far as water goes, I'd say aim for at least 2 litres as a minimum, but 3-4 being ideal. I can't do 3-4 every day; have to pee so much it interferes with my activities.
