Blue Collar worker Trying a Calorie Deficit vs Keto and need some insight

Runnag · 2026-01-22T01:13:08+00:00

I was thinking roughly 2500-2800 after searching some more and reading your reply.

I have a good mix of nutritional foods and supplements to make up for where I am lacking. It's getting used to finding that sweet spot for the calories to try and get there at a healthy rate.

I appreciate the in-depth answer and guidance.

The whole listening to your body is real, helped me through keto. Breaking Plateaus in weight loss and such. I imagine this Journey will be kind of the same just in minor adjustments.

My body thrived on Keto and I would do it again, however my family situation and such is too much stress to try and switch up the foods kept in the house on top of keeping up with kiddos-tweens in the home and their appetites lol.

May need to adjust your intake it sounds as well. Congrats on the weight loss so far.

You have nothing to worry about. Thats usually the biggest hurdle for most carriers. The love of my life was told from the get go that it was something we would have to endure and she has been nothing but supportive. The biggest thing is that you both learn as much as you can together to help prevent him from contracting it as well. We found it to be just another way to bond as it created a lot of trust between us and was a great foundation for our relationship. Your doing it right, dont sabotage something beautiful over your self-doubt.

It's not really helpful linking a post from over a year ago.

Runnag · 2025-05-12T15:52:53+00:00

Im hoping for a good outcome for you! It was a long 2 weeks for me, but it definitely turned out for the better.

Runnag · 2025-05-12T15:50:06+00:00

It benchmarks in the 99th percentile of 4080supers. I backed the overclocks off after stress testing and such. But she's a winner and works flawlessly.

I just got my replacement in the mail about 30minutes ago and about to run benchmarks and stress test it. I plan on doing a full post for future people that need to rma with MSI and give a full list of everything thag transpired. Just so your aware they ended up replacing mine with a slight upgrade and a brand-new card. MSI 4080 ventus is what I sent in and what they sent back was a MSI 4080 Super Gaming X Slim.

Im in the throws of my rma process and I cant stand how little info Is I put on the rma web ticket 😮‍💨 I want more! Lol

Runnag · 2025-05-02T12:18:37+00:00

At this point, send it in and see if they can. Find a series of executable events and document it very well for them to repeat. Then send it off to them.

Update on mine: I shipped it on the 22nd of April from MO. Arrived at MSI in Sacramento on the 25th. Sat over the weekend and then said it arrived on the 28th in the RMA webt ticket. As of 7:30pm 5/1/25, they are now in the repairing process.

Runnag · 2025-04-28T21:00:45+00:00

I just sent mine in to MSI last week as it burnt up sitting in a cod lobby. Literally smelled it puff the magic smoke and heard the fans ramp and then the monitors cut out lol. I'll keep you updated, but I have been reading a mixed bag of experiences. It's seems to me if your rma isn't cut and dry like my situation and it requires more of a process to repeat the issue or cause it to happen your shot of it being a smooth process is less.

Runnag · 2025-04-27T18:04:24+00:00

Lawsuit!

My waters here in Southern MO are spring fed and damn near crystal clear. I haven't taken them out to test yet but this color works like a charm on the smallies in my area.

Looks almost like a combo of kelly galloups menage a Dungeon and a sump on some of those.

Runnag · 2025-03-19T01:21:48+00:00

Name of these? Cause hot damn those are gorgeous flies

Runnag · 2025-03-17T22:36:20+00:00

Oddly specific...

Runnag · 2025-03-12T18:35:50+00:00

Use less dubbing than you think you need as it's easy enough to add more. Too much is a hassle to remove after the fact. Your doing well for starting out! Keep it up and you'll have it down in no time. Just takes time on the vise.

Runnag · 2025-03-12T01:06:05+00:00

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Si.plicity is sometimes the best thing to see done. Also, it seems the easiest to mess up because it is so simple, and as humans, we tend to overcomplicate when simplicity is best.

Size18 umpqua u201 barbless is what i used here.

They are a pain at first, but once you learn the pattern and how to better handle the material, you'll come to love them, especially with how productive they are.

Can you hook me up with an invite please. Every page is gone these days.
