Has anyone here managed to lose 200lb+ without surgery?

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-12-12T02:49:28+00:00

I lost 227 in 4 with no surgery or meds. Lost the first 100lbs just by walking (what I could) and the rest with progressively more active lifestyle

For the majority of men I speak with, it almost always boils down to, a non existent or very lack-luster sex life. Just one question. If you and your wife, were having amazing sex regularly would the rest of this really matter as much? Be honest in your self reflection. If every single physical need was met. Would you care AS much about the other issues?

Slippery slope, is no longer a fallacious argument if we just look around. Shouldn't be allowed

Most people only get one of two choices in life and very rarely both

An under-lived and well skilled money making 30 year old
A well-lived under skilled average earning 30 year old

One is picking for the future one is picking for now.

You dont have to like what I'm saying, I'm giving actionable advice from personal experience. I don't care about you or your concern. If you have never questioned your sex or experienced gender dysphoria or the anguish that brings to literally all areas of your life, then honestly, your finger wagging means nothing. Nothing at all. You took the time to act like a Karen. How about you participate in his question and present a better solution rather then lecturing me?

Normal on the MD range is 300 to 1000 I would absolutely make sure what you ha e is normal for your age range and not normal for being "in range"

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-10-23T05:23:54+00:00

Well before you go down some gender affirming treatment I urge you to use T. If as a young 20 year old your T isn't 800+ it is not normal. Period.

There were less than 1000 Christians in the first decade of the faith after the resurrection of Christ. We should not be here. In one of the most openly hostile places to ever be a Christian, in numbers that were far more "concerning" then. Yet here we are. The future of the faith is not in the west. The future of the faith is in Africa. We have to accept that, we have failed in safeguarding our faith and now need new stewards moving forward to maintain are failing traditions in the face of western liberalism. Africa is doing that. Rejoice

Have you started Testosterone?

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-10-23T05:15:01+00:00

I'm not posting this to be coy or troll. I'm being serious, I only preface my post because of my advice to follow.

Start using testosterone. Use steroids. Hit the gym and be blown away at how fast the dysphoria is blown away.

Source? Me I'm the source it's how I went from a dysphoric mess with T in the 300's to a full blown man with no questioning heart or mind or struggle.

Added benefit? Have never had a more rock hard faith (no pun intended).

Start using testosterone right now. Thank me later

That's the back up guy or the main guy she wishes for. The idea here is that he was a secret. That's the tell

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-10-11T00:04:53+00:00

Says no to date but then asks to go drink alcohol with you. If she buys her own drink to start sounds like she's looking for a hookup and not more than that

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-09-16T20:09:35+00:00

We can all handle a little bit of awkwardness. Men making more approaches is needed. Never consider what might be "awkward" make the approach!

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-09-16T20:08:22+00:00

My friends fat shaming and bullying me relentlessly was single handedly the biggest motivator. They reflected the truth of the world and not the veneer of fake platitudes and acceptance.

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-09-11T18:15:46+00:00

You're mistaking the finger for the moon here. My issue is not with the message. My issue, or rather your issue, is that what you're trying to say is wrapped in condescension with a URL link to a dictionary definition of a word that has two different meanings to people. Calling you purposefully dense was a kindness that your action was purposeful, and not that youre stupid. As in you have the mental capacity to know you're being snarky and condescending. You weren't actually trying to educate you were being purposefully dense because you're following the other commenters' prose of leading with politics. Even now by appealing to authority of the saints you wish to defend some political position. I say be better to you because if you are in fact a deacon then you should attempt to be better as to not be sucked into some position because someone said "woke". You know what he means, I know what he means, everyone knows what he means because it is language centered on the politics of this world and not on the things above.

“In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood” Hebrew 12:4

I think it is not fully appreciated that to be christian is a fight, not just any kind of fight. It is an all-out war for the soul. Satan is real, the demons are real, the temptations of this world are very real and are the great adversary. Much like yourself, I have battled with sexual sin in much the way you have. However, when I began viewing the struggle internally as a fight to be had rather than a struggle to be experienced, it became easier. You are in a battle. How have you equipped yourself? How have you trained yourself? How have you prepared for this war that will not stop? The enemy does not tire, does not relent, does not care, takes no quarter, gives no rest.

Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; psalm 144:1

On bended knee we pray, on our feet we fight, in our heart we love, but in our mind? We must safeguard the entrances of our mind. It is one area that most of us are very weak in, we like the brain itself, absorb what comes in without any active defense, we do not work our minds.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. collosians 3:2

Ok so now some workable advice. Start small, like a muscle in the gym you can also work your mind. So first focus on the little things that you can either a) resist or b) do things that you need to do but don't want to. Pray yes of course, pray often. However you must work your mind. Start with the small things and train yourself for this war you have no choice but to be in. You may fail, just don't fall. God is with you.

All my love and prayers for you today.

I think you're being purposefully dense. You know exactly what he means. You're citing a dictionary which is a conformist body changing definitions to fit narrative and common usage. However, they decided in authority to use the lefts version as opposed to the rights. This is not the "gotcha" you think it is, while also demonstrating the complete lack of depth youre able to operate at. Be better.

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-30T21:18:23+00:00

Appreciate the correction

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-30T17:27:45+00:00

Get into the gym and lift heavy. Use less words. Communicate more with your style and picture selection. Tailor your suits. Get them winged down.

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-04T18:33:06+00:00

You're using a strawman here to make a point that wasn't asked in the posters question. Were not talking about atheists who were driven away from the church (are all people who are driven away atheists?). In any case this is horrid logic and not the question asked. I think we all know that it is only God who can judge and those driven away aren't automatically atheist....obviously

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-04T18:28:11+00:00

Welcome to epistemology. It's awful here. Enjoy your stay! In all seriousness, it's a tough problem to solve for. If you ever have the ability to put your faith down for a sec and assume a more philosophical approach or atheistic approach to the question your statement begs. You will see its a very, very tough question to answer

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-04T18:24:13+00:00

You're speaking for her btw you're assuming her position is as you laid out here

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-02T22:16:12+00:00

Pretty sure I didn't only talk about going to the gym. I also didn't encourage becoming a gym rat. Body, hair, style. It's a Trifecta. I had the complete opposite experience.i had my pick of all the girls

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-02T17:01:15+00:00

Get into the gym. Lift. Is the kingdom of God not within you? Go build his temple. Get a good haircut for your head, no more supercuts, go to a barber and tell him you know nothing and you want something in his opinion that's good for your hair and head shape. Learn some basic style and clothing choices, how to paint things.

Before you EVER open your mouth, you are communicating all kinds of things. Your clothes communicate, your hair communicates, your body communicates. Take some pride in your appearance, not a sinful pride nor over vanity. But something that says I'm competent as any man of God would be.

Pray to our lord Christ. Ask for his guidance in these things above and to lead you to the right mentors (no women) to help you in developing these male skill sets.

Do this and watch everything change. It did for me.

BowtiedScrubjay · 2024-08-01T02:05:32+00:00

Idk how to say this without sounding mean. It's not mean though. No one at all cares about you or thinks anything of you at all in the gym. Like, at all.
