And it was revived by some now-deleted spammer trying to shill some "cast a spell on your boyfriend" crap. Yet here we go again. The OP hasn't posted here in 4 months. Hello, echo chamber??? lol

Only critique I have would be that you are already a bit past the TDEE-20% mark so I wouldn't try to go much lower calorie wise. And you certainly don't need to be single digit bf percentage to have a 6 pack. Someone your age should be fine at 10-12%. I guess one question I would have is not only what are the macros but…

Who told you my life story and why are you repeating it? lol. I can honestly say I made it through the first 55 years of life without really having a close friend. And I have always lived in crowded suburbs of large cities. But when I came out, suddenly I was free of the fear to forming friendships and now have quite a few…

For me, the first two were kind of easy. The 3rd, not so much. 1. Eye Candy -- John Barrowman. Oh yes. And he's on my team too. Thank you. 2. Admiration - Harvey Milk. 3. Usefulness - Larry Kramer (play wright). Larry may be a city boy but as an all around curmudgeon who doesn't care who he pisses off to get done what…

The damned things just reappeared after being gone. The fact that my weight loss and their disappearance from the shelves is no coincidence. My MFP friends know because I've posted on it already. It's those damned, accursed Hostess Cupcakes. DAMN YOU FOR COMING BACK. GO BACK TO THE HELL HOLE FROM WHICH YOU EMERGED!!!!!!

As long as they weren't Spanx.

True. TNP is sitting around and is not "decent". :)

The longest I've seen is about 440, so 900+ is incredible.

Do you remember what George Carlin said about dogs and why he'd never leave the house if he could do what they could? That's me. :happy: :laugh: :tongue:

First job I got paid for was as a newspaper boy for the Washington Post when I was 14 or 15. First "real" job between semesters in college which I did for a few years in summers and during breaks was as a clerk/typist at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Kind of a cool job.

As a general rule, for me at least, if I'm burning about 10-11 calories/minute that's doing great. Therefore about 90 minutes of really hard work would be needed to burn 1,000 calories. And that's pushing it. An hour? I have a couple of friends who are serious bikers who ride really hard so they may, but that is the…

True. And I'm even less fond of bratty *kitten* adults. The Next Poster (TNP) has played miniature golf this year.

True. I've never been to South Dakota.

Social injustice.

False, with the exception of heights. Acrophobic. TNP has been in more than 2 different time zones this year.

A ketogenic diet is certainly not something that something someone should just dive into. It takes a lot of thought, and I would certainly recommend medical clearance. If you have diabetes, a ketogenic diet could be fatal. I'm doing a short, 4 week, cyclical ketogenic diet right now. It is, and has been for a long time, a…

I am sorry, but that suggestion is whey out of line. There is no whey I'm putting on clothes when I don't need to. And I never know when I might need to use my swizzle stick. Nude is the only whey to go.

Sorry guy, but 3.5 pounds/week isn't good. It'll end up shutting down your metabolism so fast it'll take a long time to get it back to a normal state. A quick plug in of your numbers at Scooby's workshop shows you have a BMR of 2600, and a TDEE (assuming no exercise at all) of 3125. If you exercise 3-5 times a week, your…

I think that is the biggest takeaway fo rme: Knowledge is indeed power. Power to control what and how I eat. Power to get and stay in shape. Power to be in charge of my life, and not the spoon and fork. I've been at this almost 7 months. And after a few days of learning my way around, and setting things up, my plan has…

I think a lot of it is some people just don't want to put in the effort and/or don't realize the benefits. They aren't ready to lose weight. Or they say they are but it is half-hearted at best. I'm like you, I am a planner, and anally-compulsive on math (not so much science). I've started a 4 week cyclical ketogenic diet…

Nope. Sorry. TNP should have been in bed hours ago.

Welcome back. A few words of encouragement. Don't sweat the vacation so much. You can't do so bad. I've had freinds here who came back from extended vacations all freaked out because they gained so much weight. One said they gained 17 pounds in 10-14 days. Well you can't. It was all water from the travel and everything…

But don't you wish they would come up with a different abbreviation for potassium? POTASS just doesn't look good.

Zimbabwe was Rhodesia.

Body. You can always have sex wearing a ski mask to hide your ugly mug. :laugh:

Never had to because I'm not really a nighttime snacker. If last meal is about 9 pm, I have no problem waiting til 7 AM for the next day's first meal.

You can certainly add me. However, do not look at this week (or the next few weeks). I'm on a 4 week Cyclical Ketogenic diet, which is not something you want to try, at least without much consideration, reading, planning, and probably a consult from your doctor for their blessing. I am taking it to the nth degree, getting…

At 18 years of age, at 6'1 and 175, you shouldn't need to lose much fat. But read what the earlier posters have said. For most people, and you included, losing weight and gaining muscle are mutually exclusive propositions. It can't be done. Different body processes (anabolic versus catabolic). Focus on one at a time --…

1. Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs and make love,' and you answer, 'Pick one; I can't do both!' 2. Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot. 3. A sexy babe or hunk catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door. 4. Going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.…

Saw this post on another forum I belong to that sort of fits the subject matter very well: I especially appreciate #3. ======== When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every…
