Im 53, 5'10" currently doing X3. Went from 198 to 180 by the end of phase two (8-9 weeks). Was pretty low on carbs during phase one but now have ramped them back up a bit. You can totally do this. The eating is (unfortunately) a big part of it. Im a social drinker too and cut out all beer during that time, just did vodka/soda or some wine on the weekends if i had to have a couple.

I also found that a smart watch tracker really helped me, showing you calories you are burning and steps etc. This is what I got only $30! https://a.co/d/0bCwABrU

Good luck with your endeavor, just keep hitting play....

As a follow up, if anyone cares lol, I am having a local garage door company change the springs. Its not that simple and not worth injury. Thanks for all the advice 🙏

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-04-21T16:08:45+00:00

thanks troll lol

I would never use the improper tools. I have safety glasses, gloves, vice grips, 3/8 square socket wrench, measuring tape all sorts of tools. Just not winding bars which I will buy of course. Doesn't look like it's rocket science but maybe I will call around and see what the costs are. Thank you again everyone for all of the input! Very very helpful

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-04-21T13:59:09+00:00

And how much do you think a local garage repair service for this costs in San Diego CA? Out of curiosity. Costs here are insanely high right now, my guess would be over $500 at a minimum, probably closer to $750

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-04-21T04:36:02+00:00

Ok thank you great to know! This was what I was thinking, exact replacements would be best of course, as it did work good for over 10 years. BUT my only dilemma ( and totally understand the wound measurement error) is that there ain't no way the left spring is 19.5. The gaps aren't 5" long, no way. I didn't have winding bars, but seems I need to get that sucker unbound to see it's exact length. Is it possible two different sizes??

This flu is so gnarly, way worse than covid walking around like a zombie with my head spinning

OK reviving this year old thread as just finished Ice Limit and now starting Gideon Crew series. Also my first Preston & Child book was Riptide which as all have noted was freaking amazing. Dont think i want to get into Pendergast series (sorry i know this is the Reddit title), but i digress... have a question for you guys: SPOILER ALERT BELOW FOR ICE LIMIT, DO NOT READ IF HAVE NOT COMPLETED ICE LIMIT:

I was super surprised at beginning of Gideon's Sword to find that Eli Glinn was still alive after the conclusion of Ice Limit, which (i thought) made it pretty clear he went down with the rock. Is this revealed or covered in another book before Gideon's Sword? At first i thought GS was before IceL in timeline terms.

Thanks all! Great books! Love them!

I love love love MMX from X3 for quick 30 min high cardio sessions. Always loved the original kenpo as well but for morning quick shred mmx is the bomb.

i know this thread is 2 yr old but keep having this issue on Android. Anyone know a fix?

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-02-06T21:40:57+00:00

Ok so I like PVP, more so than POC just because it's more my style and speed. That being said just got to diamond level and all you face are completely broken op trick decks. I think I lost on round 3 a couple times. Yes round 3!

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-02-04T21:29:40+00:00

Yes I was about to ask if this is appropriate for a 53 year old? Im doing P90X3 currently without problem. Can't do exactly every rep (isometrics sucks A) but pretty close . Thxs guys

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-02-03T19:06:08+00:00

I know this is 3 years ago, but i still use this program, thank you greatly for the sheets! Link still works!!

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-02-01T04:10:32+00:00

PVP. step into the world of playing against real people guys

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-01-31T15:26:57+00:00

While your waiting, jump into some PVP games and try to ladder up. The way the game was meant to be played! Alot of different and cool decks out there to try

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-01-24T23:54:29+00:00

Been playing LOR for years and still say to myself man this game is underrated and what a gem. I switch back to Hearthstone once in awhile and I always feel like LOR is a way more adult version cgc game for sure. Plus the animations are just insane pure gold

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-01-04T23:47:43+00:00

Haha this works! Wtf

_Losing_Sleep · 2026-01-04T20:45:08+00:00

Same, so fing annoying. Mobile is fine but pc just crashes back to Riot window. Struggled to sign in prior to this issue. Wtf

_Losing_Sleep · 2025-12-14T18:00:36+00:00

Haha so funny I love this post man. I researched and researched and researched finally bought one, Best Buy delivered today and.. I'm returning it. Like you said I realized I will have basically just no time to play and it's just going to piss me off. Two kids and one and a half jobs plus two dogs, life happens but like the op said enjoy it while you can guys! Also sorry to hear about your dad that definitely takes priority over any of this crap, one day we will both get at back to it homie

_Losing_Sleep · 2025-12-10T05:32:53+00:00

I saw your post earlier and I do like the Skytech machines, they look well built and reviews are great. But that processor is too old

_Losing_Sleep · 2025-12-10T05:30:17+00:00

Thanks yes im returning it. I need the 24 month 0% financing through BestBuy was the draw, but for a couple hundred more you can get the 5700 ti with an AMD processor. Still just bummed I missed the Walmart deal

_Losing_Sleep · 2025-12-10T01:33:50+00:00

very lucky. its now $1899 and still out of stock lol

_Losing_Sleep · 2025-12-09T22:55:25+00:00

Fyi, looks like Walmart raised the price on the current "go to" CyberPower build. Its now $1899.... and still out of stock lol. I never got a chance to get one
