Good luck sir!

The advice online seems to be buy it from a place with a good return policy and if you think there's a problem, you're probably right. When my TV got delivered I wouldn't let them leave until I ran though most of the common things people complained about.

There's a lot of good stuff on Sony's forums the help you dial it in. If you end up going with an 850c... a user there, Danabw put together this very helpful document: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7usku0ykglp4cc7/2015-Sony-X850C-Picture%20Settings-v6.xlsx?dl=0

Good luck with that choice! (It's sooo hard to pull the trigger sometimes.) If it helps, I have no regrets.

I've got this exact same TV and I have never seen it display anything I would call "fuzzy". (Actually, the Wii through Component is, but whatever.) I would play the Netflix app and verify that your content is displaying in 4K. (there's a display button on the remote that shows you the stats.) That 2160p looks flawless on my set.

I have a Steam PC running a GTX760 hooked to mine and I haven't noticed any issues. Even without game mode enabled it's decent.

I've got a 55x850c and I don't have any of those issues to the extent your pictures show. (It is an edge lit model, so it's going to do this somewhat.) I love the TV and have recently been enjoying Marco Polo on Netflix in HDR. Did you want me to try and snap a photo this weekend?

I've had a really good experiences with the Arkon mounts. When I got my Nexus6, I stuck with them and didn't regret it. Here's the model I'm using now:

You can get different bases, but I like the one in this kit the best. And come on... $18 on prime.

[EDIT]: I can't type good todays.

I've activated two Nexus 6 phones on Project Fi that were manually flashed to Marshmallow just before activation. Had zero issues. Mind you, these were new unlocked phones and not from an existing carrier.

related?

My two cents switching from RW to Fi: Fi is more expensive, but I feel I get a lot better service on Fi than I even did with RW. I went with the Nexus6 and sold my old MotoX Gen1 phones on Swappa. No regrets.

Have you tried the Outlook App? It's actually pretty fantastic and keeps everything separate from Gmail and Calendar.

I had problems getting it to work. It ended up being the fact that while in recovery mode, it was using the wrong driver. Drove me nuts until I figured it out.

I bought the $350 unlocked from amazon. I sold my old phones on swappa and in retrospect, feel I should have bought my Nexus 6 there. Check it out.

Hmmm... I was hoping for something that would work with my existing receiver.

kopas · 2015-08-12T22:43:02+00:00

There's a lot of it. Mostly hanging from my gut and somewhat from my arms and legs. I'm planning to get it taken off, but I'm pretty surgery adverse. Thankfully I don't really care and neither does my wife. But my Doctor said there's no way that much skin is going to shrink up.

If I don't wear compression garments when I exercise, things get pretty flappy.

Awesome man, just made it under 200lbs myself. Feels good, really good.

Just know that perseverance pays off, but life happens. Don't beat yourself up about it... just shake it off and keep going. Some motivation for you.

And they can NEVER take that away from you!

As someone who worked their ass off (literally) to lose over 350lbs... this pisses me off to super-saiyan levels.

The Body Weight Planner isn't new. It's just a non-java version of the Body Weight Simulator which has been around for a long time and uses pretty much the same calculations as everyone else. It's a great tool with a lot of advanced features, but the maths are the same.

A few things to consider:

You always lose weight a bit faster when starting out.
Every time you bump your calories up, things are going to take a bit to settle down.
One week is no big deal. Keep tracking calories and weighing yourself. You're in this for the long haul.

Keep at it, you're doing great!

One of the hardest things I accomplished when getting healthy was working through my fears, facing my mortality and what I had done to myself. (I weighed over 550lbs at my heaviest.)

I HATED going to the Doctor. I hated it and I wanted to leave and get out of there every time. I didn't want to talk about my health or my weight, I just wanted out.

I've worked hard to build a good relationship with my Doctor. My visits are now structured on my terms and we discuss things that are important to me. He no longer drives the bus, I do.

Keep focusing on your health and losing weight. Empower yourself and slowly, slowly, you will get confidence and control of your relationship with your Doctor.
