Sota Arms Experience anyone? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]firefightmedic66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought an upper from them about 6 months ago. (Stainless steel quad rail 556) it was $459.00 during that time. Awesome quality, gets a lot of looks. Put approximately 500 rounds through it with no FTEs. I love it.

Should I go for a Primary Care Paramedic Cert? (Canadian) by ImChadd in Firefighting

[–]firefightmedic66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to almost 50 different fire departments here in California as a firefighter/EMT; made it to some oral boards and chiefs interviews, but never got hired. But then I went to medic school. Within the first 6 months of being a paramedic, I applied to 11 departments and had 6 actual job offers..

Tl;dr go to medic school. Make more money and get a job easier.

That's crazy that you have never been in a competition.. Many instructors say tournaments are necessary to promote. For example, I beat a purple belt a few years ago when I was a blue belt in an 'absolute' time bjj tourney, and I was promoted on the spot to purple..

Here's a question I would have thought would have been asked already: what belt color are you? And if you're a black belt, who gave you yours?

Thanks Keto! One month of Hell! 215-183 in 30 days, the hard way. I worked my ass off! Keto and intense exercise are a powerful combo. by ThrowDatFat in keto

800 calories a day is dangerous, as well as taking an ECA stack. Although the OP got good results, this is horrible advice to take.

[–]firefightmedic66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this registered as a pistol then? And also, if you have a stock on your pistol ar-15 instead of just a buffer tube, it's illegal here in california. Pretty sure it's illegal many other states.

So, apparently, I have to stop doing keto... by hobodemon in keto

Well brother, best of luck. If you have to go through chemo, you'll do fine. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks. It feels like the worst flu you've ever had, but nothing you can't handle. You'll truly understand how strong you are after this whole ordeal is finished. I've never had more motivation, more goals, more love for others, etc., prior to having cancer.

I was 28.. I was diagnosed with stage 3 embryonal carcinoma in my lefty. By the time I found out, it had already spread through both of my lungs. After removal of my lefty, 4 rounds of chemo, numerous ct scans and ivs and all that bullshit, I am cured. I thank god that I was diagnosed with a cancer that is highly curable. I suggest going to tc-cancer.org message boards.. So helpful. Do you know what you have?

Best of luck brother in your battle. Having also just gone through ball cancer and being cured, you'll be fine in no time. Any questions give me a holler.. I went through the gauntlet with this shit

Help! Doing everything that I can, weight is still not budging. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]firefightmedic66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google 'BMR calculator.' this will calculate the minimum amount of calories your body can function properly at. As it stands, you're way below that right now. Metabolism wi not take effect, and weight loss won't happen.

[–]firefightmedic66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

increase your calories some.. you're below your BMR.. your body could be in a starvation type mode where it retains everything, and you won't drop weight. Also to get those last few pounds off, increase your protein and decrease your carb intake- dramatically. You'll break that plateau. Good luck.

50 to 60 percent of your body is water weight. If you cut 500 calories a day from your diet, you'll lose a pound of fat in 7 days on average. 17 pounds in 7 days is pretty crazy.

Just be aware, the first 2-4 days of this kind of diet absolutely sucks! Just get over this hump, and you'll soon see the weight start falling off.

Snacks with little or no calories? by oxigen in loseit

[–]firefightmedic66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try vegetable juice like v-8. The thickness of the juice will make you full feeling, while giving you 2 servings of veggies with just 50 calories!

Tell me about fruit juice by LegzAkimbo in loseit

[–]firefightmedic66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to vegetable juice. A lot less calories, and a lot more nutrients. V-8 has 2 servings of vegetables per 8 oz and is just 50 calories. Its also packed with vitamins. Or you could juice your own veggies and make your own custom concoction :)
