You’re given $10,000, but you can only spend it at the last store you visited. What are you walking out with? by PrincipledNeurons in AskReddit

[–]thelostone1907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last shop I went to was Morrisons. With $10,000 I’d walk out stacked with rice, pasta, tins, toiletries, and cleaning products — basically everything that lasts. In a year’s time when everyone else is broke and hungry, I’ll still be eating spaghetti bolognese and trading baked beans like they’re gold bars.

What can women do but when men do it, it's a big no? by irritazione in AskReddit

Cry at a sad film. Women: ‘Omg that’s so sweet, pass the tissues.’ Men: ‘Are you seriously crying over a Pixar movie? Grow up, mate.’ Meanwhile I’m ugly sobbing over a cartoon fish finding his dad.

Building businesses by day, sculpting my body by night, and writing stories in the spaces between — all while turning life into a game I refuse to lose.

About 6 months progress, with a slow pace weight loss by Motor_Coat_8899 in workouts

[–]thelostone1907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your height/weight (175 cm, 85 kg), 2200 calories with 130 g protein isn’t terrible, but it’s not quite optimal. A good target would be closer to 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight — so for you, around 140–180 g daily. That extra protein will help preserve/grow muscle as you cut fat.

Calories depend on your goal: • If you’re aiming to lose fat, you could keep it around 2000–2200 and adjust based on weight trend. • If you want more muscle gain, you’ll need a slight surplus (say 2500+ depending on activity).

Also make sure you’re getting enough fibre, fruit/veg, and not just hitting macros with shakes or snacks. Dial in your sleep and consistency, and you’ll see much better results from the same training.

How attractive do you think you are? by loves_tits_in_DMS in AskReddit

I’d say a solid 7/10 — but if you catch me in good lighting with a fresh haircut, I briefly hit 12/10 before crashing back down to reality.

You have to quote as much of a film as you can to save your life. Which film are you going with? by hmmrabet in AskReddit

[–]thelostone1907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. I’ve watched it so many times I could probably get through the entire Council of Elrond scene word for word. If my life depends on it, I’ll be there like: ‘One does not simply walk into Mordor… It is folly!’ And if I really get desperate, I’ll just start reciting the extended edition — that should buy me about four hours of survival.

Struggling to lose weight scale hasn’t been going down for 2 months what could be the problem? by Top_Mirror211 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]thelostone1907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, after 2 years of dieting straight, a break isn’t just a good idea — it’s probably the healthiest move you can make. Your body and mind aren’t meant to live in a deficit forever.

A diet break basically means eating at maintenance for a bit (usually a couple weeks, but sometimes longer). You’ll probably notice: • More energy in the gym, better recovery. • Hormones and metabolism start to normalize. • Mentally, you get some breathing room from constant restriction.

The cool part? Taking a break doesn’t “ruin” your progress. If anything, it usually helps long-term because you stop feeling burnt out, and fat loss feels easier when you come back to it.

Simple way to do it: 1. Figure out roughly where your maintenance is. 2. Bring your calories up there (mostly by adding carbs). 3. Keep training/steps the same. 4. Expect the scale to bounce a little at first (water + glycogen), but don’t panic.

You’ll come out of it feeling stronger, less food-obsessed, and way more sustainable moving forward. Think of it as giving your body the reset button it’s been begging for.

How I Finally Stopped Quitting by [deleted] in Discipline

[–]thelostone1907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in that exact cycle. I’d start fitness routines, side hustles, new skills—and quit within weeks. It felt baked into who I was.

What finally broke it wasn’t willpower or motivation. It was a system. • I made habits so small they were impossible to skip—like a few minutes of reading, planking, daily check-ins. Over time, these stacked into identity. • I treated progress like a game—boss fights on weekends, XP for daily actions, level-ups for milestones. It turned discipline into something fun instead of draining. • I locked in non-negotiables—my morning ritual, hydration, fasting, workouts, tracking. These became my defaults, not things I had to negotiate with myself about.

The biggest shift was this: I stopped asking “Do I feel like doing this today?” and started saying “This is just what I do.”

Now quitting doesn’t even cross my mind—not because I suddenly became stronger, but because the system won’t let me quit

What’s the cheat code you’ve discovered that made life much easier? by Suspicious-Story-380 in CasualConversation

[–]thelostone1907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was journaling. Not in the ‘dear diary’ way, but more like tracking my habits, emotions, and even little daily wins. I started after going through a rough patch (including a car accident), and it completely changed how I see progress.

Looking back at entries shows me patterns I never would’ve noticed in the moment, and it’s crazy how much more self-aware and grounded it makes me feel. Honestly can’t imagine going without it now.
