According to the guy at work who had 3 ex wife’s they are quite good. Of course it’s based on price. Don’t get the 100 dollar sucky sucky ones. Get the 400-500+
But it is precisely the sucky sucky ones that I like! :ifyouknow:

[Hondaracer]

ok you youngin's, here's what you've learned...

don't get married, don't cohabit, no single parents, and partner of equal social status...

or just wait for AI fembots :lawl:

serious though, honda's example is straight up wild, did dude not have proper representation?

I’m not sure of the circumstances but he was a drywaller (maybe that says it lol) who we used frequently when I worked in construction

And he told the story himself so it wasn’t just like friend of a friend type thing lol. The amount/length of the child support was fucking insane as well, if I remember right it was somthing like 7-10 years

Can you check it out and report back. I heard it's mostly 30+ or 3-5/10 girls.

I recently met 2 30's fobs at a party that are secretly escorts

A bit off topic but I went to see my doctor yesterday and he tells me I'm showing signs of early arthritis in my middle finger (ha) caused by my usage of a computer. My middle finger is what I use the most on my trackpad and he says the pain I'm experiencing (bone pain and having trouble extending my finger) is early arthritis. I can work to strengthen my tendons and muscles around it but the bone won't actually get better.

Arthritis! From using a COMPUTER!

Christ, I'm getting old.

I had a blood test today to see how I'm doing in getting my blood sugar (A1C) and cholesterol levels down since I started working out and losing weight in Jan and it's working!

A1C is down from 5.8 to 5.6 so no longer pre-diabetic under any measurement.
LDL Cholesterol is down from 4.34 (high) to 3.69 (borderline, less than 3.4 is good).

My weight hasn't changed (173lb) but I'm hitting the weights 3-4 times a week now and working with a trainer so I'm making a lot more progress in the gym - I'm showing signs of actual shoulders and traps.

I'd really like to get down to 160lb by end of year but I'm making strength a higher priority for now. I figure if I maintain my diet and training that this will push my LDL and A1C well into the green by end of year.

Edit: I didn't get my test at Kensington as it was too hard to get an early appointment so I didn't get to meet Lifelabs Hottie. Maybe in 6 months.
Edit: Testosterone levels checked out good too.

[BIC_BAWS]

Alright, I've mixed down to 1-2mg/ml now but it's getting quite difficult LOL. I'm a lot more groggy and cranky throughout the day. I purchased 0.1mg/ml juice, which is pretty much flavored air and it's making me angry.

Less than two months left to go but I think I can do it.

Not fitness related, but health related. On Saturday, I woke up and made the conscious decision to quit nicotine with a deadline of end of August. This time around I'm not gonna do it cold turkey and instead, ween myself off by decreasing the nicotine content progressively.



For those who know vaping, I went from 20mg salt nic for the past 5 years (if not more) down to 10mg salt nic a few months ago. Now I'm switching to free base which should help the nicotine strength.

I purchased
1 flavored 30ml x 6mg/ml
1 non-flavored 30ml x 6mg/ml
2 flavored 30ml x 3mg/ml

My plan was to use 6 nic, then mix the equiv to 4.5 nic, then go down to 3 nic. They unforutnately don't make nicotine free juice anymore, so I'll have to go cold turkey following 3 nic, but it'll be much more achievable than from 20 salt nic.

However, at home, I've been hitting 3 nic and I feel ok. A bit harder to wake up in the morn.. def very groggy unlike the instant wake up I usually get.

It'll also be cool to lose some weight by September, but I think I gotta focus on this first before trying to do too much at once.

I'm ahead of schedule. I've officially been off nicotine for almost a week now. 0 nic was interesting, so I woke up every morning hitting the flavored air pen anyway, and even tho it's 0 nic, it still provides a sense of relief.

I haven't smoked anything in about two days tho and it sucks big time lmao. You bet I still crave it. Gum helps. But damn I wonder if I'm gonna feel the cravings forever. Good thing it's more annoying to unplug my car and whatnot, so I'll be too lazy to drive to the vape store.

I'm starting to wonder if we're all just pre-diabetic with cholesterol issues.

All my friends who workout regularly, aren't overweight, all have their A1C in the 5.8 - 6.2 range, and elevated (on the cusp) LDL levels.

I swear we're all eating poison on the daily.

[westopher]

I’d like to get all that checked. I was a bit worried about it when I was drinking lots of beer but less concerned now. I do love deep fried shit but don’t eat it often. I’m pretty high on the carbs because I fucking love bread and it’s worth dying for if that’s what it takes, but most meals for me are meat and vegetables. Salt intake is relatively high probably.

Diabetes Canada says that about 30% of Canadians are pre-diabetic with another 15% being diabetic so almost half the population. Not sure how they count kids but it could mean that more than half the adult population has high blood sugar. These numbers are higher than what I've seen with Stats Can so take it with a grain of sugar but either ways there's a lot of folks

I was hoping my A1C would have come down more - I didn't go chicken/broccoli in the last 7 months but I did become a lot more conscious about my food choices but there's sugar (hidden) everywhere.

Type 2 diabetes runs in my family - my brother is about 15lbs more than me and he has to take meds for his A1C just to keep it below 7. Even when he was on a health kick and lost 20lbs he couldn't get below 6. He's resigned to the fact that he'll probably die early. Genetics sometimes sucks.

By age 45 the rec is that you get an annual blood test and some patients (like my brother) have a standing req as he goes every 3 months due to his high A1C. My doc offered to make my a standing one too as he knows I'm trying to get healthy so your doc won't have any concerns about you wanting one - a Telehealth call can get you a req no questions asked.

If you find you really enjoy getting blood tests you can other tests too like you can go jerk off into a cup and find out if your swimmers are healthy. Hard to beat jerking off into a cup between work calls and then rushing over to Lifelabs to get your sample in - this kind of stuff should be a mission in GTA or something.

Lol I did this after my vasectomy. Funny thing is you are supposed to show up at the clinic and say you have a time sensitive sample so they know to process it right away.

So I wait in line with my cup tucked beneath my shirt to keep my cum warm like they tell you to. A guy comes up to me and is like "excuse me but I have a time sensitive sample" like he wants to cut in line.

I tell him that I, too, also have a time sensitive sample.

And look at him, knowing that both of us jerked off less than 20 mins earlier and are holding cups of our own jizz next to our bodies in public at that moment.

When I dropped mine off there was an elderly couple holding me up on the stairs (Hot jizz coming through!) but when we got in the old guy also had a time sensitive paper bag that he was dropping off. Not sure if I should have congratulated him or not.

I have been on a diet for more than 2 months, went from 190 to 169 pounds (weighed today) at 5 feet 6 inches tall, in my 30s. No longer have a big belly wearing loose fitting shirts compared to before, still noticeable amount of belly fat when taking off shirts. Still motivated to keep going, hopefully under 160 or even 150-155s..... Been losing 1-2 pounds per week

For me what worked and may work you guys is cutting out most of the carbs, white rice, bread etc... my wife only packs me meat and lots of veggies like carrot, cauliflower for lunch, I don't weigh everything but I do an estimate of the calories of each meal. I love ice cream, it's my guilty pleasure and I eat it almost everyday, you can eat your treats too, it's just about portion control and how much calories in and out. Dinner, some sort of protein, lots of veggies again, no white rice. If you like cheetos or any kind of chips go for it, just don't eat white rice and chips together, that was the main problem for me, just eating too much. The kicker is, I don't even feel like I'm on a diet still, and I don't feel hungry most of the time. you can still eat the food you like on a diet, it's about portion control and don't eat them all at the same time. Also try to minimize eating fatty meats like pork ribs or anything fried, you can still flavourful food using chicken breast/thighs, pork tenderloins but you have to have a good cook like my wife

And for the ice cream lovers, I used to eat lots of haagen daaz, they taste great but calorie dense, I have switched to chapman frozen yogurt, dutch chocolate/cappuccino flavour, they are literally half the calories of the haagen daaz, tastes pretty good too

I don't weight train, I walk in my basement for 30-45mins a day 3 to 5 times a week. Diet really matters a lot when you want to lose weight

Wanted to provide an update, I have been at 70kg/154pounds for over a week now, still dropping 300-500g of weight each week, have been eating 1500 calories per day since my last update. One thing I'm frustrated with, not sure if you guys in 30s/40s can relate, I can see my upper abs, but my lower belly fat is still pretty prominent even though the previous beer belly is mostly gone. I guess I have to drop another 10 pounds or more? I don't recall myself having this lower belly fat when I was in shape at 150 pounds when I was in my 20s...

I think it really comes down to training at that point. I fell for that that I believed if I slimmed down I could look kinda cut but totally not happening. I’ve dropped the 10# I wanted to and really have nothing left to lose after about 6 months of basically not drinking and eating well/cardio. But nothing short of focused muscle building in the spot will give the results I (and assume you) want.

Lower ab fat is normal in your 30s and 40s, we all accumulate fat over time, which is normal.

The only way to mitigate that is to drop more weight, but even then, you may never be as "lean" as you were in your early 20s, hormonal changes take a big part in that.

You can definitely work on your lower abs to tone that area, and correct posture so that your hips don't "push" out the stomach, giving that bloated look to the lower stomach. T2Bs (toes to bars) and static holds/hollow body holds are great to force correct your core, bringing that lower back more flat, and therefore pulling that stomach in, giving a better look.

i started working out 2 months ago and somehow i gained like 9lbs. highly doubt that's all muscle lol.
i dont feel like i really changed my diet except i guess i am drinking a protein shake w/ all the fixins. now i have to try to cut a little bit to get closer to my normal weight around 165.
geez man i started working out to feel better and look better and now im getting fatter and that feels bad.

[EvoFire]

When I first started working out when I was overweight, I gained 15lbs before my weight started to drop. I went from 185lbs to 200lbs before sliding back down to 180 over a year. I also cut my carbs hard during that time though.

you need to be in a slight deficit in order to slim down. anytime a person works out without reducing intake, you'll just get bigger. your gains are literally pushing your fat outwards making you feel and look fatter than before you started working out. it's the same reason people tell you there's no such thing as targeted weight loss (ie doing situps thinking that alone will get you a six pack).

Ironic how their former colony, Macau, has a total of 4 Hermes stores, where three of them are within walking distance from one another. :ahwow:

[Uncle Roger voice] Portugal. You are weak. So weak!

[CivicBlues]

Portugal is exotic? It's been like the trendiest destination in Europe for the past 5 years so much so the digital nomads living there have ruined the place and are getting pushback from locals.

p.s. I went in 2012 before it was cool :D

[Badhobz]

its exotic to chinamenz... youre just the anomaly chinaman. I hope your wife is like some hippie dippy white woman.

[CivicBlues]

Sadly no, just a down to earth China-Mutt woman. I dragged her backpacking around SE Asia and the Middle East for 6 months a decade and a half ago in the guise of Cultural Enrichment staying in hostels and various hovels. Now she's like 4*+ or fuck yourself.

Last year we sprung for some overwater bungalow in the Maldives, Broadway shows in NYC. Ireland was expensive AF too. This time we get to go somewhere cheap and backpacker-ish to even it out again.

Speaking of exotic, I ate this today

Chinamenz love weird ass seafood amirite?

Not unique to Portugal, had this for the first time in Paris years ago

[CivicBlues]

Some kind of Barnacle?

Chinamenz love exotic meats but we roast, braise, and steam it until all the nutrients are cooked out of it

Europoors love to eat exotic stuff raw. Takes some getting used to.

@CivicBlues - Please say hi to StampPad for me! :)

[CivicBlues]

Lol no I'm nowhere near you rich Chinese fucks. I just spend recklessly on things that don't matter except to me. I have no assets besides financial ones and my shoebox condo. I intend to die with zero.

Plus you'd be surprised how affordable some overwater bungalows are in Maldives, I mean they're not cheap and you can certainly go super luxurious and spend your monthly salary per night. But you can have a pretty nice experience for say, 1K/night.

If she knew I was still chatting to the likes of you guys on RS she'd be roll her eyes so far back behind her head.

[Badhobz]

prease prease brother, no need to be so humbro.

if youre going to maldives and other buttfuck nowhere countries for lawls, youre doing really well. i dont even know how you have so much time off.. i got like 4 weeks of vacation but i never end up taking it all. always roll it over and then get paid out. my schedule never seems to align with the wife schedule. surprisingly considering she doesnt work.

[CivicBlues]

Sure, well off enough, but certainly not McMansion and a wife that doesn't work well off lol.

No I totally get it, people that don't travel to these far flung locations don't realize how affordable it can be sometimes. It's like it's just one time expense probably I can stop anytime I want, I swear anytime!!

I get 4 weeks off too! 2 weeks somewhere and 2 weeks somewhere else! 'cept I usually have to align with my Wife's holiday schedule though lol

How much did ya'll spend per night on the Maldives bungalows? $1-2K?

It's high on my bucket list, that and Bora Bora.

[CivicBlues]

Worked out to be like $1K/night in CAD. But that's only part of the story, you still have to pay to get there from the airport which can cost up another $500-800 depending on if you want to take a speedboat or seaplane. We did one each way. My advice? Do the seaplane both ways.

For that price you get probably a 4* accommodation equivalent in a first world country. But you're really paying for the isolation, even though you're surrounded by other bungalows it feels like you're alone in the middle of nowhere:

You should totally do it Mike and soon, I looked into Bora Bora as well but it looks like it's at the very least 2-3x as expensive since thre's fewer resorts, is a nicer island and you're technically in France.

[Badhobz]

I told my midget I’d take her one of these days but instead I cheaped out and started looking at one of these little islands in Fiji that also has bungalows over the water…. They are like half the price of the Maldives…. And similar experience ? I don’t know.

Flips also have these bungalows

[CivicBlues]

lol as if money is object to you. Just steal one of your wife's bags and sell it to finance it if you don't want to take a bite from your budget.

The thing with The Maldives over the others is that it's really in the middle of fucking nowhere. The islands are all volcanic atolls, so your bungalow is built right up to the coral reef. The water is clear as a bottle of Evian and there's sea life all over the place. I could stand outside with no snorkeling gear in 3 ft deep of water and I'm surrounded by half a dozen nurse sharks, nemos, and a shit ton of other fish.

"Why spend money on vacation la, you can see it on google. Use money to lease C-class la"

The thing that's amazing is that the ocean in the maldives is like bath tub temperature. Go before it sinks due to climate change. The only pain in the ass is the extreme travel time to get there. Plus cost of course.

[CivicBlues]

err yeah so back on topic, need to exercise more and lose weight so I don't look like a whale on the beach in Bora Bora

[whitev70r]

I'm going to be in Coquitlam on Sunday, September 22 to work on a project with my cohort members.

If anyone is up for a burger or happy hour meet at the PoCo Sunwood Save On Foods, we can meet there just like we did last time for the Geriatric Motoring Club meet. This will be good for those of you who cannot make it out to the Stock & Noob Meet on Thursday, September 25 (but why not come to both?) :)


Woe ... a VIP pass pre-meet with bcrdukes !!

[mikemhg]

Hobz, what area were you looking at in Fiji where it was half the price? Curious.

Civic, it's definitely in the 3 year plan, thought about it being a honeymoon trip. Maybe it'll get even cheaper once Maldives is under a meter of water :lol

[CivicBlues]

I'm not a climate denier but they're building resorts like crazy in the Maldives right now so for some reason the multi-national hotel chains don't think it'll be a problem at least in the short term!

Depends on the dates but it was half the price of some of these bora bora Maldives places. Seems like you get the whole bungalow experience but not the insane $$$

The places I looked at in the Maldives were 2-4k a night for overwater accommodations.

I mean yeah I can stomach that for a week, 10-20k ain’t that bad but my inner and outer Chinaman will be screaming bullshit when balljeet or whoever the fuck rolls up in his canoe to serve me my 500 dollar continental breakfast.

Doesn’t seem worth it

ive barely been on any big vacations since covid but all the way up to that point i was doing everything on the cheap.
5k was a lot for a vacation because i was always doing it backpacker style or going bike touring.
im too poor to even read about 10-20k spent in a week no matter how nice it is.

I travel a lot and $10-$20K for a trip is expensive as heck.

That's not the norm, or customary, remember everyone on RS balls harder than Jay-Z.

[noclue]

The maldives/french polynesia is one of those once in a lifetime trips to save up and splurge on. Most people dont go back again unless you are baller and/or live closer.
Flights are expensive and long travel time.
Once there you need to pay $500-800USD per person on a floatplane.
Then you're stuck at that resort so unless your resort offers board you will pay a lot of $ for meals.

But nowadays thanks to the weak CAD even a nice all-inclusive resort in the rivera maya/cancun/tulum is pushing $10K

[spoon.ek9]

I think we need to start a baller vacations thread for you fucks lol

He better, I was going to call that one out.

AIs are def not $10K per person in Cancun/PDC/Tulum right now :lol

5 stars down there will cost you about $3-$5K per person, excluding flight.

[westopher]

There’s nothing on the planet I want to do less than an all inclusive resort vacation.

[N.V.M.]

if there was a thread to talk about anything.

[supafamous]

If only we were still losing weight and had news to report on that....

[Klondike]

Started cycling this year, about once or twice a week this Summer.

Last week I rode to Bowen Island from East Van. Brought back 3 bottles of cider too, so Going up massive hills, while trying not to jostle the bottles was definitely a challenge. Guy who worked at the brewery was nice enough to give me some paper bags to cushion the bottles.

I weigh myself on and off. Weight stays relatively the same but my man boobs shrank and the Filipino coffee shop owner at my workplace told my flip coworker I was "payat"

No goal set, I just want to see my pecker when I'm looking down and not have tits bigger than the girls I work around.

Getting the munchies after a doobie does not help :lol

[EvoFire]

I just hit the gym for the first time in 3 months cause no chance during the summer with the kids.

Weighed in at 173.3
I left 90 mins later at 171.3

I am down about 20% for weights.

For me it sorta works. Flattens the man boobs and shapes the belly somewhat but I feel like it gives me the proportions of a marshmallow. You can get around this with an oversized heavy cotton t-shirt.

I personally don't like wearing it because it's restrictive and makes me feel bloated.

Maybe I'll try some titty tape :lawl:

that shit doesnt work, you just compress the fat into a zip file of fat. still bloated and full of malware.

[mikemhg]

Need to turn this thread around ffs.

It's annoying how weight goals finally end up landing by the end of summer, this seems to happen every damn year. The bit of visceral fat on the stomach and lower back has finally started to melt off.

I started off in June at 200lbs, now I've dropped to my goal of 190lbs, achieved from pretty much from fasting with 1.5 meals a day, and cycling 40-50kms 2-3 days a week along with the regular lifting 4-5 days weekly.

Now that fall and winter is coming, the ass sitting will again commence, no more cycling and outdoor shit outside of skiing and maybe some hikes. Those 10 pounds will probably creep back by next spring, rinse and repeat :lol

Going to make an effort this winter to no longer succumb to the weekly late night McDonalds craving.

This was from Phoenix last week.

https://i.ibb.co/FkGpB7X4/mMe.jpg

Anyone have winter goals?

[spoon.ek9]

My goal is to continue on with my macro during work days and be normal on my off days. Since I'm working 6-7 days per week, it should keep me in line lol. Now, the problem is that there's almost always free snacks/food at work so temptation always surrounds me. But, if I'm on my macro, at least the damage done is to a lesser degree.

I'll continue on with weight lifting and keep up my 10k steps per day. Being consistent is all I'm aiming for. I no longer care about reaching new milestones for bench/squats/deadlifts.

My only other consideration is perhaps switching my macro from cold food to something warm for winter months. Right now only my french toast in the morning is hot. Everything else is cold (overnight oats, salad x 2).

Anyone have winter goals?

I'm planning to keep working with my trainer through till the end of the year - I see him 1-2 times a week and I like the results - I'm truly training to failure and the my technique keeps improving and now we're adding plyometrics to our program.

I had set a goal of running 5k in under 35m and I had wanted to see if I could get to 160lb but both seem like a stretch to me right now - maybe 165lbs is possible (from 172lb).

[Klondike]

Winter goals: calorie deficit because thanksgiving and xmas are gonna fuck me up big time. I'm plopped in front of a computer but I do have a standing desk. Company has no wellness budget but I'll keep an eye out for a used walking pad/treadmill

My friend has very generously lent me his indoor cycling trainer for the winter. We'll see if I can stick to the plan.

Working as a lot bitch at a dealership was the best weight loss hack. All I did was switch to sugar-free drinks and the weight came down. Was 219 at my lowest then covid hit and I gained it back lol

[red kryptonite]

didnt even try this summer to get in shape :okay:
but im giving myself the rest of this week to be lazy and eat whatever the fuck i want. come monday im back to the gym and watching calories.

this thread isnt keeping me very accountable, so i got my tubby coworker to loose a couple pounds with me today. this guy cannot turn down a bet so talked him into it by putting some money on it hahaha.

winter goal: win this bet ^^

oh... for those who remember i bought 2 cases of full size chocolate bars from costco awhile back for trick or treaters. they did not make it to halloween. :QQ:

I’m supposed to go as Maui for Halloween cause my daughter wants to be moana, but you can sub in. I’ll be heyhey.
My goals for winter are to stay healthy and fit during snowboard season. I want 25 days on the hill this year. It’s kept me pretty strong even though it’s not going to get me ripped. All workouts really are going to be concentrating on keeping me from getting sore and being able to ride longer, fall harder and be able to get back up from slams. Weight wise I’m staying where I should be and the beer gut after 6 months of dropping my intake to a beer or 2 a week is essentially gone. I feel like I’m at the last 10% to go as far as looks go, but I’d like to increase strength and stamina another 20-25%.

Look at his great, staring eyes!" "Like saucers, they are!

[unit]

my goals are basically to find some other fitness program or go to the gym once my contract ends in jan. something that motivates me enough to keep going. thinking about martial arts or possibly crossfit or other HIIT classes. im not sure if i can motivate myself to go to the gym alone. if i try those classes out for like a month each and dont really like them then i might resort to that.

also since my wife's sched has opened up, no reason why we shouldnt be able to ski more.

[GLOW]

i peaked at 148 lb and settled back at 155-157 which i think is a good balance if i can keep tone. i'm going to try to maintain this maybe edge closer to low 150's if possible. it's too hard to lose more. i'm 5'6-5'7" in 40's

i'd like try to shed fat on the lower abs but that's like the hardest and last place where i have to shed. already do intermittent fasting, portion meals, and trying to cut booze again (i fell off the wagon when i gained the weight back).

[EvoFire]

Now that I am hitting the gym again I'm gonna try and get it back down to 160lbs. Stress eating hasn't been helping my cause

You guys who are running a sizeable deficit - how do you deal with it? When I run a small deficit I feel like a ravenous animal who'd even eat far right, useless forum troll pussy.

[unit]

im not counting calories rn im just cutting my portions slightly to make up for the extra protein shake/bar im eating.

if i wanted to lose mega weight i would definitely just do tons of cardio like sign up for a granfondo or half marathon and train 3x a week.. you will just melt pounds off your body and be able to eat anything you want.

i'd rather do something like that then count every gram of food that goes in my body

You work at the hospital right? You guys have it the hardest when looking to manage weight.

Free food everywhere, late shifts so you're eating exactly at the time you shouldn't be, nurses ordering Uber Eats every hour, on the hour. Pizza, donuts, patient families bringing free food, all that shit.

Not an easy task.

[mikemhg]

You guys who are running a sizeable deficit - how do you deal with it? When I run a small deficit and I feel like a ravenous animal who'd even eat far right, useless forum troll pussy.

You should DM VLAD, I know that basement pussy hasn't seen a mouth in a minute now.

You get used to the deficit eventually, the first few weeks are the hardest, but once your body acclimates, it's fine.

The trick is to wait as long as you can to eat, I find most people aren't as ravenous in the morning/early noon so it's easy to make it through that part of the day.

You don't even need to be extreme with it. It seems a lot of guys here are either WFH or some kind of sedentary office job, yet are conditioned to eat three meals or more a day.

Even if you cut out one of those meals at the start, it will make a big difference, go from there.

What exercises do you find useful to condition for ski season? I've never really figured that part out, my legs are always fried the first few outings, I find it's a hard sport to prep for outside of just doing it.

What are you doing, wall sits, stuff where you're forced to sit in a squat position for an extended time?

[westopher]

Yeah wall sits, leg lifts, leg presses, biking and when I have the fucking balls to eat shit on concrete skateboarding is the absolute best. It sucks cause my ankles are beat from a solid 20 years of skating and another 10 of doing it casually, and I just can’t stay away from kickflips, but skating the park and pumping transitions is great for it. Planks and stuff for core strength as well.

Yeah, hospital. Luckily my job doesn't require me to work overnight shifts so I can regulate my meal times very precisely.

Breakfast usually between 06:00-9:00 (depending on shift)
Lunch at 12:00
Afternoon snack 16:00-17:00
Dinner at 19:00

Some of the nurses are absolutely awful when it comes to ordering food lol. Church's/Jollibee, McD's, pizza, bubble tea, cakes for bdays, chips and popcorn, donuts and coffee loaded up with cream and sugar. I manage to say no to these things a good 90% of the time. Then you have friends of the department and families of patients bringing us things too. If I were less disciplined, I'd become a fat motherfucker working here.

[SSM_DC5]

Dem nurses are sure fat motherfuckers. What do the skinny ones do?

[spoon.ek9]

im not counting calories rn im just cutting my portions slightly to make up for the extra protein shake/bar im eating.

if i wanted to lose mega weight i would definitely just do tons of cardio like sign up for a granfondo or half marathon and train 3x a week.. you will just melt pounds off your body and be able to eat anything you want.

i'd rather do something like that then count every gram of food that goes in my body

Once you find a macro that works for you, you get used to it after some time. It's also key to use lean protein and a good amount of fibre to keep you feeling full. I've always noticed that after doing my macro for a few weeks, my appetite actually decreases. So when I go out to eat I get full rather quickly compared to how I would have normally eaten beforehand.

As for burning calories, perhaps it's because I never do cardio but the days of me eating whatever I want and gaining no weight are LONG gone lol. My metabolism simply isn't what it was so there's no amount of (reasonable) exercise that will keep me in a deficit.

Also, not for nothing but I've been doing a loose macro this time around. In previous rounds, I weighed literally everything and it gave me incredible results but this time I'm playing the long game. I have a rough idea of where I'm at for caloric intake and am really only weighing two things: chicken breast and egg whites.

It's been the easiest in terms of effort so far!

[spoon.ek9]

Eat your own food, stay away from all the enablers. Fat people love nothing more than making everyone else around them also fat so they can feel less guilty about their poor choices.

weight lifting is far better for fat loss than cardio

[unit]

i guess that depends on how you are comparing them.
a 10k run takes an hour and you burn like 800 calories

[spoon.ek9]

I hate cardio for two reasons: I've always hated running and it causes a huge spike in your hunger which means overeating. So in the end, I'm exhausted, covered in sweat, eat too much and end up gaining weight instead lol. If it works for you (like it does many people) all the more power to ya. Me, I'll stick to weight training :)

Oh i used to love running but i dont do it anymore. Too much time spent training then one little injury and youre done for a few months. Some people are very resilient but once i started getting injuries they kept happening and i quit. I still like cardio but dont run anymore

I haven't been doing anything crazy, but with a new (better) job I'm not stress-snacking as much and trying to pack lunches that are just a bit smaller than I'd like has me down 10lbs which is nice.

as you build muscle, that new muscle will continue to use up more stored energy passively (and while working out) to feed itself, ie eat your fat reserves

learn something new every day

[Vancouver240sx]

my goals are basically to find some other fitness program or go to the gym once my contract ends in jan. something that motivates me enough to keep going. thinking about martial arts or possibly crossfit or other HIIT classes. im not sure if i can motivate myself to go to the gym alone. if i try those classes out for like a month each and dont really like them then i might resort to that.

also since my wife's sched has opened up, no reason why we shouldnt be able to ski more.

Only committing to a month and waiting for motivation is a great way to never see real results. Schedule going in 4x/week (3x is bare minimum) and show up for 6 months. The real trick is not to go HARD on the first month, I tell my clients it takes 20 classes before you're really in it. Until then feel like you're moving at 80% ability so you can come in tomorrow.

If you need help with advice on CrossFit or CF adjacent gyms let me know.

So, I ran out of salad greens yesterday and took the opportunity to experiment with roasted veggies as a warm replacement. TBH, I swear my body was starting to reject the cold salad greens lol.

Anyways, I kept it simple:

Potatoes (only item I weighed), carrots, broccoli and red onions (1/4 of an onion per meal). Cut to approximately same sizes.

Seasoned with:
Thyme
Rosemary
Basil
Oregano
Salt & Pepper
Garlic powder
Spray with light coat of oil

Air fryer 400 degrees for 9 mins (without the broccoli first), remove, shake, add broccoli, 9 mins again.

Probably shouldn't have surprised me but this was pretty damn delicious and had my whole apartment smelling great :lol The broccoli comes out a bit charred and crispy and was easily the best tasting veggie in there. The onions were sweet after air frying too!

I may choose to add zucchini to the mix as well :considered:

Meals are now

1. French toast and egg whites
2. Roasted veggies with chicken breast
3. Overnight oats with strawberries/blueberries
4. Roasted veggies with chicken breast

I'll calculate my rough calorie total again later on. If I'm in too much of a deficit I'll have my sorbet/ice cream again. I was genuinely full after dinner last night and didn't feel like eating dessert :ahwow:

[Badhobz]

why do dis!?

1) you look absolutely great. like less than 10% body fat. 2) you lose any more weight you're gonna disappear.

Honestly its you "fit" guys who are all up into to this weight loss shit. Us fatso's are just stuffing down costco dogs and poutine waiting to die. I mean i met Mikey in person last night.. i was like damn he's in good shape. Went home and ate a fucking ice cream bar... meh.

[spoon.ek9]

Nah, last I checked I was hovering around 16.5%? I'm obviously not fat but I want to drop that down, especially the belly fat I've accumulated over multiple trips. It's important to remember your goals and my goals aren't one and the same. Comparing yourself to others is not what this journey should be about!

With hardy veg like broccoli no need to overthink it.

Roast it hard with a bit of oil for heat transfer. Any herbs etc you add before that will just burn or won't add much.

Finish with kosher or flaky sea salt, some acid (lemon, vinegar, etc), more fat like good finishing olive oil or butter (unless counting calories), maybe a crack of pepper, and you're good

Key is to make sure the middle is cooked but still firm.

Tbh my meal prep hack that people are always surprised about is to pack raw broccoli (also works with cauliflower) and not cook it before you pack it.

That way when yoi reheat the meal, the broccoli is perfectly steamed with crunch but not overcook into mush.

[spoon.ek9]

hmm I might try that with the broccoli then when packing it to work. at home though, having it fresh out of the air fryer with some char on it is hella tasty.

[westopher]

I love broccoli stems but hate the florets. It’s weird. Same thing with cauliflower.

[underscore]

especially the belly fat

I wouldn't even mind the extra weight so much if it was spread out a bit more evenly. But it all seems to go to my belly and chin now which isn't my favourite look for myself to put it mildly.

[spoon.ek9]

yeah I'm the same so it ruins me in photos lol.

[spoon.ek9]

Got tired of my overnight oats so I converted it into a high protein cookie!

1 scoop whey protein
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1/4 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp truvia brown sugar replacement
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp chocolate chips (started with 2 but that ended up being too much imo)
Pinch of salt

Macros:

431 calories
43g protein
45g carbs
20g fat

fucking delicious!

One cookie is 430 calories ?!!!! That’s almost a costco dog.

:troll: Holy where are all the calories coming from? the salt? :lol :troll:

It's a meal replacement and it's HUGE lol. Also keeps you full with all the protein.

All of my meals (4 per day) I aim for 450-500 max.

You can split it into multiple cookies but there's no fun in that :lol

[Traum]

If I am well enough, I still try to do a certain amount of light exercise even if I don't feel too well. A lot of times, I find that if I can get my circulation going, I tend to feel better / recovery faster.

Also, I am a total believer in sun + outdoor therapy. We're gonna be having some really good fall weather today and tomorrow, so dress warmly, and head out for a walk in the sun. It'll probably do you some good.

[GS8]

First few days of symptoms, I don't. My body is under attack so the best things I can do are rest, drink fluids and let my body fight its battle.

I usually won't return to the gym until the day after I start feeling better. That's when I usually have sufficient energy to sweat more, hydrate more and circulate more.

[spoon.ek9]

Everyone is different I feel. Personally, I give myself time to rest and find that my recovery is faster that way. If it's minor, I might get a quick gym session in but I know it'll just tire me out even more which means I'll end up spending more time in recovery.

I give death looks and have told guys off for coming to the gym with a cold, it's a selfish act.

Why should the rest of the gym get sick because some bastard can't take a few days off while sick?

If I'm sick I stay home until symptoms are gone, and this is coming from someone in the gym 5 days a week.

I agree with Traum, go get some sun outside, very much a firm believer of Vitamin D via sun therapy. There's a reason why we rarely get sick in the summer, I've even noticed when taking a winter sun vacation and heading down with a slight cold, it's literally gone within a day of tanning in the sun.

Yeah I get it every year! Any immunity is welcome imo. Even if it happens to be the wrong strain (usually based on two most prominent strains in Aus), it's still better than nothing. Haven't had cold/flu symptoms in basically forever despite high potential to come across it at work. Covid is another animal though. It was rough going through that, even as a healthy person.

unfortunately, even in healthcare it isn't 100% across the board. like you mentioned, people don't clean up after themselves so shared spaces are often filthy. our sink in the break room is often cluttered with dirty dishes that sit there for 1+ weeks. just recently a dirty glass lunch container was left on top of our microwave for about 2 weeks. it started getting moldy. these are supposed to be grown ass adults i work with :facepalm:

OTOH, my gym work is paying off - when I run into people I haven't seen in a few months and keep getting the "Have you been working out?

Here's how I'm seeing it: take it week by week during the fall/winter/holiday months. Even a few days at a time if that's all you can manage.

Allow yourself to enjoy the holidays and the good food. If you can manage to squeeze in 3-7 days of a controlled deficit, great! That's still better than zero control altogether. It's kind of like how those food challenge youtubers stay fit/relatively skinny: deficit 6 days of the week, food challenge once per week.

Your body can only absorb so much in one day of pigging out, the rest just goes to waste. If you're in a deficit the rest of the week, you'll be able to stay on track.

Lazy lifestyle changes due to early stage dating + gf debuff.

Stopped playing,
- golf 1-2 days less in exchange for teaching gf how to golf a week is 15-30,000 steps gone - 1,000 - 2,000 calories surplus
- racket sport 1-4 hours a week x 2 days = 600 calories surplus
- Volleyball season ending for summer 700 cal x 3 session = 2,100 calorie surplus
- stopped running 1x a week

Combined that's already 4,700 calories or 1.3lbs a week x 12 weeks of summer = 16lbs + 4 lbs because it's sept and oct and I'm not fixing it

This is before adding beers that my gf likes to drink, travel, potlucks, extra eating from dating, etc. My average daily steps has gone up in 2025 though, averaging 9,900 steps per day so far and that's not always wearing my apple watch for sports.

Honestly, I hate exercise and doing hard things, but that's life. Body fat is around 18ish % atm, haven't gymmed for 5-6 months. Travelled too much the last 12 months. /endrant

I wouldn't doubt (some) of them. I've seen some situations here that were handled by them :lol

Although, if it's the tiny chicks on staff when I get attacked by Gerbs' gf, then I'm probably hooped. They ain't holding anyone back.

I find I never vary more than 5# either way from centre but my obeseness fluctuates substantially in there. I can be 175 and fit or 175 and fat in a few months time pending diet and exercise but never seem to get far off my weight.

Yeah, if I move by 3lbs it's really noticeable for me - if I'm up 3lbs in a couple days it's pretty much guaranteed that I'm taking 3 shits that day to get back down. I can't imagine moving 10lbs in a few weeks (or on a vacation) like some folks here.

Did I mention I gained 13lbs while away in HK and Japan and my daily steps were at least 20-25,000/day (both walking + running when in HK)
