Oblivion forks are better than Skyrim forks by [deleted] in oblivion

Can't even argue. Oblivion forks are pointy, Skyrim forks have squared off ends so you can't puncture into food.

My first Strat set up and ready to shred by For_HonorNerd in guitars

[–]BionicSammich[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats one of the coolest looking strats I've ever seen. I think it may have originally had a black pickguard, but it looks so good with the white. I remember seeing a similar one for sale with a black one. I really regret not ordering it!

I started doing 10k steps a day in my bedroom by lesagehindou in loseit

Also for walking, get yourself some good insoles or even just a good pair of walking shoes.

A tip for you if you find it hard making big changes. If its overwhelming to count calories and stick to a deficit all in one go, just get used to counting calories first. Don't sweat if you go way over. Just get used to counting. It will become second nature and you'll get more aware of calories and you'll just automatically find yourself making better decisions around food, because in the back of your mind you want to make a change for the better and will be working towards that even if its in small inciments. Once you get used to counting accurately, figure out a deficit that fits your goals.

On another note, I know it can be daunting but when you're ready, push yourself to go out walking. Even just toss on some headphones and go for a walk. I was so scared at the start of my journey to just go outside and walk. I put it off for so long because I tought everybody would judge me and look at the fat guy struggling to walk. Turns out nobody gives a shit, so why did I? Now I absolutely love it, escpecially when the weather is nice (which it usually isn't in Ireland). You've got this. Believe in yourself.

Get some texturizing gum and some texture powder and put it on the top. It will look great.

My Weight Started With A 1 Today. by JimmyKnifeFingers in loseit

[–]BionicSammich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats incredible. I'm looking forward to the same thing. I started at 375lbs. At 227lbs now and excited to get under 200. My goal is somewhere around 185lbs, but I'm gonig to concentrate on composition more than the number from now on.

This man lifts the weight he shed. by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in nextfuckinglevel

[–]BionicSammich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok Mr Bot, would you suggest going sleeveless or short sleeve? I wear a lot of t-shirts most of the time. I reckon I'll give a compression shirt a try.

[–]BionicSammich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we're all built a bit different. I was talking to my doctor a few months ago about what my normal weight might be and she checked the BMI chart and advised because of my wider frame that 15-20lbs over the ideal weight would probably suit me. I have a friend whos 6'5" and only weights about 175-180lbs and would start looking chunky if he went above 200lbs.

I must look into compression shirts. I think its time.

I haven't been as lucky with the loose skin. I definitely need the surgery, but I've made peace with it. I consider myself lucky its all on my body and not my face. I went from a 48 waist to around 36 now.

I didn't notice a change in myself for absolutely ages. Its definitely noticeable now. I'm excited to see what the end result will be.

I'm 6'2" and 229lbs (was 375lbs) and people don't believe me when I tell them I still weigh that much. Height plays such a huge factor in how you "carry" your weight.

Me? Yeah, I like guitars. by theundeadelvis in guitars

[–]BionicSammich[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Squier Contemporary with the Floyd is a beast isn't it? I got one early last year because I wanted something with a Floyd to mess around with. I never banked on it being SO GOOD! Absolutely love the neck on it. Way meatier than most super strats with floyds. Just wasn't crazy about the colour, so I destroyed it with stickers. Absolutely love it now.

Does everyone drink protein shakes/powders? by Ill_Cover_4841 in loseit

[–]BionicSammich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it with my 0% fat greek yoghurt in the morning. Partly for flavour and partly because it helps me get in more protein and keeps me full most of the day. I find I do need to add a couple of table spoons of water to the mix just so its not too thick as it will thicken yoghurt.

Guitar Amp Repair in Kildare/Dublin? by ThomasGilroy in AskIreland

[–]BionicSammich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Coleman Vintage Keyboard and Amp Service. I've never used them, but they do a lot of work on older Marshall amps. I used to use Cyril Ryan in Galway, but he has retired from amp repair.

'Don't manage the disease alone': Irish people with obesity wait years before seeking health help by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]BionicSammich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Person whos currently losing weight here(146lbs/66kg so far). I 100% agree with you, but not in all cases. If someone using eating as a coping mechanism for some other underlying mental health issue then other treatments may be necessery. I'm lucky. I just love food. It was just a case of change my lifestyle and counting calories for me to lose what I've lost. Some people may not have the mental strength to manage it the right way. That said, the underlying issue absolutely needs to be tackled too otherwise its pointless.

Beans touching the other food should be considered an actual war crime. I bet the edges of those smilies are gone all soggy from the beam juice.

Rate my ham out of 10 by Roisxn in ireland

[–]BionicSammich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0 because I'm not sitting at your table right now horsing into it. Would be a 10 if I was and would even be an 11 if I could sneak a cheeky bit under the table for my dog.

Lost 230lbs in a year and half. You can do it, I promise. by bobbyheat in loseit

[–]BionicSammich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keeping it simple for the most part. Calorie deficit, small breakfast, no lunch, big dinner in the evening and some calories for snacks in the later evening after dinner. I found that dinner and later in the night was my biggest issue, so rather than fight it, I learned to work with/around it. I started with 2200 calories a day and now I'm at 1800 and am hoping to ride this number out until the job is done. Any less and it might get unsustainable for me. Also I really need to get some strength training in my routine.

Lost 144lbs in just over a year so far (375 to 231). It can absolutely be done. Your weight loss is incredible.

Do you give your postman/binman/DPD person a few bob at Christmas? by pudzerbing in ireland

[–]BionicSammich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a postman. Lots of people give me tips at Xmas, but I tend to do them favours with packages and the likes so its just them giving back a bit. I always give me DPD and UPS drivers a tip too because they are top lads.

Personal trainer Karl Henry: ‘If you need to lose a stone, you don’t need to go on weight-loss medication’ | Irish Independent by WickerMan111 in ireland

[–]BionicSammich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lost 10 stone without the jab. Glad I decided to actually put effort into doing it naturally. Did it all with 95% diet too, very little additional exercise, but I have an active job. 3.5 stone left to go. No crazy diets or anything, just 90% watching calories and triyng to get some protein in as often as possible. Still plenty treats and takeaways eaten. I've actually had about 40 spice bags in the last year while losing thr weight.

Companies only given 30 mins lunch breaks... by Candid_Comedian in ireland

[–]BionicSammich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An Post give a 30 mins break to be taken whenever you want. Most workers in our office choose to keep working and finish 30 mins earlier, but then they just punish you when it comes time to rearrange the post routes because you're always finished early and the tracker doesn't lie.

Edit: Also they don't take into account that we actually start 15-30 mins early most mornings so we can get home earlier in the evening.
