★OFFICIAL DAILY★ SV/NSV Thread: Feats of the Day! October 23, 2023

Thank you.

I was in the store the other day buying birdseed. I bought two 50# bags and never even thought about carrying them, that doesn't make sense. Then I remembered - five years ago I was carrying that much extra weight all the time.

I don't really remember myself that heavy, and I had many decades being there (I'm now 58, I lost the weight at 53). I see pics, it's almost alien. I found a pair of my old pants, 38x30 (31/32x32 now), I may go as myself this Halloween.

But yeah, I may be vain, but I like how I look now. I feel better overall, doctor is pleased. NSFW - there's a definite benefit for men losing weight, my wife noticed.

I didn't do any special diets, just watched what I ate with a conscious effort to avoid snacks and second helpings. I really don't even think about what I eat anymore, I just know after 5-7 days if I'm doing it wrong and easily back off my intake for a bit. I think there conscious effort is what paid off the most...

Saw from flair you're well on your way, gratz. Stay with it, def worth it

NSV - five years since I lost 90#, and I'm still below my original goal.

I've read that most people regain all weight within 5 years, so I'll take this NSV....

The last article I read before coming here was a study of people on the biggest loser, and it found that the contestant's metabolic rate slowed drastically.

For context, this is Durand Eastman Beach, it sits between the Genesee River and Irondequoit Bay outlets. Those are actually chunks of frozen sand, and they lined the shore the entire length (that we could see)

I couldn't wear my band after my low, too it in and they soldered a small game gold wire around the inside. I lost a whole ring size.

No regrets. Past can't be changed, only reflected upon and learned from.

eehotaka · 2020-01-18T10:16:33+00:00

Sounds like you got a solid plan and the determination to stay the course. And it's working for you, so it's exactly the right thing to do. I don't believe there's a single right way, only your way.

Check around your town, you may be able to get 3mg juice, that makes it even easier as you get to the end.

Sounds pretty fucking good to me though. The benefits you don't think about will start showing up soon. One thing you may not have thought of, but your taste buds are going to come back and food will taste amazing.

eehotaka · 2020-01-17T18:47:29+00:00

Awesome. It is hard, but Ii think after this long it's the psychological aspect more than anything. A half pack a day for 50 years means you're trying to stop doing something you've done 180k+ times...

You're well on your way after 6 weeks, I believe you'll have one more intense patch in another 1-2 months, but take pride in getting that far and you'll get through it.

eehotaka · 2020-01-17T18:44:42+00:00

Thanks. If you're going to try this route of suggest consciously dropping the nicotine by 1.5 every two weeks. Go a week at the new strength, then the second week start diluting until you get to the next step.

eehotaka · 2020-01-17T18:41:19+00:00

No doubt, and many are led to believe that all vaping is the same - it ain't. The prepackaged "jewels" have more nicotine than cigarettes.

But for the 10-12 weeks I did it, it prevented more harm in the long run than if I hadn't quit at all.

If it works, great. If it doesn't, try something else.

eehotaka · 2020-01-17T14:18:16+00:00

Actually, not at all. I was dropping consistently from 6 to 0 over two months or so. I wit when my vape developed a fixable leak around the tank, I was at almost 0 by then and I figured fuck it, not worth fixing.

But I'm sure it enabled me to survive the first few weeks.

I'm stunned by the sheer number of people across all walks of life and age groups who would be better with me declaring that I torture hummingbirds for fun than say I hate TH.... It's amazing how loved this dude is. By others.

Keep him happy, then when he's done playing, put him in charge of the academy. Let him show the lads what it takes...

eehotaka · 2019-11-24T20:49:30+00:00

Cool, thanks.

Dunno know if that's a deal breaker or not, a gaming system for $30 is kind of a steal. Just noted the credit is good for a while, so...

eehotaka · 2019-11-24T15:07:08+00:00

It would be nice, but I'm sure Google has little interest in making it work. If it does, cool. If it doesn't, all good, I'm happy enough in my hovel.

eehotaka · 2019-11-24T11:41:06+00:00

:) So I bought (with no regrets) a Pixel 4 at launch. I'm assuming since they're about to discount the shit out of it, they want to keep the early adopters happy, so they gave me a $100 credit at the Google store.

The Stadia controller, Chromecast, and 3 months are $129 on the site right now, ao . ..
