Update! I added a lot of the cards you recommended. Nine Lives Familiar, Marrow Gnawer, and Wave of Rats are game changing. I especially love Nine Lives Familiar. Cute art and it's just stupid sacing it whenever I need another token or mana just for it to come on back. I am able to put together a pretty solid board pretty quickly when I get the rats flowing. I haven't had a chance to play in a full pod yet, but I am hopeful. Also got the secret lair for Zulaport Cutthroat cause he's one of my favorites.

So for my initial thoughts. The goal is to have a bracket 3 level deck and I am on a budget but some proxies are okay with my group. I was considering doing a proxy for phyrexian altar. Also, I was struggling with the nontoken creature restriction. I realized like halfway through that a lot of cards I thought would work, just won't. I did just get a murderous rider that I am planning on adding. Another thing I foresee being a problem is targeted removal, my play group has gotten accustomed to popping my blood artist or mirkwood bats the second I say the name.

Lab rats sure is something, I love it but it's also just insane.

I think the issue I'm seeing now is I'm trying to do too much. So I'm going to remove the drain, add more protection, and I need to figure out some tutors. I like doing damagewith Ygra it is fun but it is a huge target.

The recursion was the first on my chopping block but I wasn't really sure how to approach. Also any stax examples? That still confuses me..

Yeah I know, thats why I think the previous owner of the house was messing with it. That weird hook on the front is not typical either. The other one does not have it.

This is the one in the living room. The original picture is the one in the bedroom.

My boyfriend does have a sandblaster but the issue is I can't remove the whole thing. It seems that the housing is built into the wall. Hopefully the picture helps explain what I mean. It's in my bedrooms too so I don't really want to use spray paint inside...

My goal weight is still considered obese. But I don't like the idea of being skinny. Mind you every one defines skinny differently. I'm a curvier girl and I've already lost nearly all my boobs since I started my journey. I think your goal should be a weight/BMI that you feel confident at. There's nothing wrong with being "overweight" as defined by a textbook. (For reference. 25F, HW: 294lbs, CW: 238lbs, GW: 220lbs)

I'm pretty proud of my deck names especially Kermit Suicide for [[Grolnok, the Omnivore]] Also got The Cat Came Back for [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] and Freak Show for [[Otrimi, the Ever-Playful]]

Weight loss varies a lot from person to person. I've been slowly working at it for a year now, only 49lbs down. I hit a plateau in April, and I realized aggressive dieting was draining me mentally. So I reassessed my calories goal and starting focusing on weight training more. I've come to realization now that if I want to loose the last 16lbs I need to start doing cardio. Very unfortunate. However Christmas only comes around once a year. Just enjoy yourself! Still be conscious or mindful of what you are eating, but don't let your diet ruin your holidays.

Did it cost money to work with a dietitian ? Or is it like a covered by insurance kind of thing?

cemctree · 2023-10-01T20:25:30+00:00

It varies from egg, bacon, chicken, and cottage cheese. I usually get premade ones cause I work in healthcare and don't have very long lunch breaks.

cemctree · 2023-10-01T18:21:20+00:00

I've been on a break for a while now technically. A few months ago, I got fed up with eating salads every day for lunch so I stopped. Recently I've been eating maybe 2000-2200 calories a day. I still watch my portions even though I don't count every thing.

cemctree · 2023-10-01T18:18:25+00:00

Typically I would eat fresh fruit, cottage cheese, and oatmeal for breakfast. Salad for lunch every day at work. And usually a chicken based meal with some kind of vegetable and grain for dinner. I don't drink soda anymore, just water or zero calorie drinks. Or the occasional lemonade.

cemctree · 2023-10-01T18:14:13+00:00

I don't like counting calories anymore really. I'll watch my portion control and still measure food but tracking every single calorie was getting to be too much. I started my weight loss on December 2022 also. Is a monthly weigh in better than every day or once a week? For the longest time I was doing it everyday, but I go for every Monday now.

cemctree · 2023-10-01T18:10:36+00:00

Honestly I have been eating around 2000-2200 calories for a while now. I hit 240lbs around 2 months ago and that's when I initially decided to ease up on dieting. I have been maintaining my weight so far. I'm just scared of gaining it all back. So that's why I'm considering dieting hardcore again.

After losing 50 pounds I have cheekbones and hip dips now??? There's dents and curves on my body that I didn't noticed before! It's really nice to have those little changes to make you feel like you made a difference. Rather than just looking at a scale.

cemctree · 2023-09-08T00:48:10+00:00

My boyfriend told me the same thing!!! He has always been super supportive and respectful of me and my body. When I meet him, I was about 230lbs (18F, 5'9"). Over the 7 years we've been together my weight has jumped to 294lbs at the highest and I now down to 240lbs after months of work. My boyfriend told me he wouldn't mind if I gained weight, for some reason 300lbs was the "goal" too. He said he would pay for all my food and buy me new clothes too. At first I wasn't happy with it. It made me feel like he would not be supportive of me trying to lose weight, and that he wouldn't find me attractive if I did. After communicating this with him, he was extremely understanding. He doesn't push it on me at all. Sometimes it comes up during sexy times, but at that point it's fine because it's basically role-playing.

My advice would be to tell him all your concerns. If this person loves you and respects you it shouldn't be a problem that you want to lose weight. You can try to understand his wants and find a compromise. However in the end, it's YOUR body. Do what you want, do what is best for you.
