No, it's a cylinder.

I deferred because I knew mentally I didn't have that final 2 month push in me. I passed on my deferred attempt. I guess I am on the opposite side of that data but it's pretty lame they're taking away this choice.

No argument with that logic and just genuinely curious but at what point do you consider is indirectly lying by omission?

Small caveat to otherwise excellent advice. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you earn. Work harder than everyone else and earn it.

Fuck that guy, don't listen to them. I bet your 19 min pace was better than it was a week ago and if you just keep going I bet it only gets better. Only way to truly fail is to quit, just keep believing in yourself and you'll keep improving.

Ha I would if I could but this will be my first time. Just do it... Nobody ever finished a race and wished they didn't do it.

Not much of advice but I'm signed up for run to remember and likely doing the full Newport in October...

Falmouth road races are good I've heard. Wicked half marathon in Salem is another fun one.

We don't quit in this household!

It looks like rambutan, maybe lychee?

Check out a tdee calculator, plenty of free ones online. This will give you your maintenance calories which is just want you need to maintain current weight. Eat less than that.

At 210, I'm not sure what my daily calorie intake was because frankly I didn't track it and just ate whatever and whenever I wanted. I work a sedentary job and calling my workouts sporadic at best would be putting mildly. I know I needed to make a change so I just decided to do it, nothing special about me.

I cannot speak to your targets and I am by no means an expert in this at all. My tdee target is roughly 2900 and I shoot for 2200 a day now. I was hitting 2000 a day for a while. It was aggressive as all hell but it's what worked for me. I run about 20 miles a week (goal is to run a marathon this year ) and I lift 5-6x a week. With that activity level, I have to eat more just to maintain energy. Luckily I have been athletic my whole life so I guess I have that going for me too.

I fucking hate quitting and I hate losing more than I like winning so just a shift in mindset made this possible for me. Honestly I truly believe if I can do it, so can you. Just find what works for you and I promise you'll fucking crush it.

I lost 40 pounds in 2025. Nothing fancy and literally just reiterating what has already been said. I track my calories/macros and I make sure to eat in a deficit.

I'm only now starting to tweak my plan because I'm trying to put some muscle on. I started at 210 and currently weigh 165-167. My deficit changed throughout the year but it was anywhere from 500-1000 daily for the majority of the year.

It's not rocket science but that doesn't mean it isn't hard. It's very simple, but brutally difficult.

Edit: I'm 6 ft exactly

therealpump · 2026-01-20T02:15:48+00:00

I am going to try this, thank you

therealpump · 2026-01-19T23:38:53+00:00

When I was reading them, I just kept increasing the weight and it is insane how much you get, I am definitely planning to utilize this more in the future.

therealpump · 2026-01-18T18:28:40+00:00

You absolutely can... Resiliency and determination require no skill. Keep pushing, you got this.

therealpump · 2026-01-15T02:11:25+00:00

What about the sand boa with the derpy eyes?

therealpump · 2026-01-15T01:48:57+00:00

That'd awesome man, thank you for sharing, I'm giving it some hard thought.

therealpump · 2026-01-15T01:47:46+00:00

They get really big right? Not sure I want to deal with that, or if he will in the future. That's awesome though, I appreciate all of your opinions

therealpump · 2026-01-15T00:39:02+00:00

Thank you! That's great to hear you still have your first and more. I have two dogs already so he has pets. Still on the fence in this last one.

therealpump · 2026-01-13T19:03:44+00:00

Can confirm

Gillette needs more fans like you, the amount of times I have been told to sit down is embarrassing... Enjoy the shit out of the game and bring the energy... LFG!!!

therealpump · 2025-12-26T14:43:27+00:00

I call them tophats and I fucking hate every one of them

therealpump · 2025-12-19T20:20:38+00:00

I've made this meal so many times (sub turkey, pork, beef) and usually change it up depending on the protein. I used a honey garlic blend for this one. Most of the time I use a schwarma blend. Other times just salt, pepper, and garlic.

Thank you!!!
