I'm back on the wagon to lose some pounds for the new year. Feeling a little fluffy! I thought it would be fun to get a group together to keep motivation up.

I was thinking we could do our measurements and take before pics of at least the scale holding something with the date in the picture. We could have some sort of challenge where whomever loses the most weight gets some sort of prize. I'll even personally throw in the prize, say $200? That will def motivate me to win so I can keep my money! But I'll gladly hand it over to the winner if it's not me. I want to motivate people to be healthy!

Anyway, headed to the store tomorrow after work to get my groceries. Personally I'm doing the Beachbody 21 day fix. I did it last year with great results. It comes with containers for each type of food. (Carbs, fat, protein, etc) and workout dvd's. I'm not going to use their recommended protein shake, shakeology cause it's $130 for a 30 day supply bag. Ridic! This plan really teaches you the right way to eat and makes exercising fun. And trust me, I've done pretty much every diet plan or gimmick out there. This one is a winner in my book.

Let's do this!

I wish you luck, but my resolution this year is financial. Gotta stop the bleeding! 2014 was not prosperous at the 2earls household. The challenge will be, how to have fun while reducing vices. Less gambling, ordering, etc.

I suppose less eating would save $ as well!

 
Yeah not a good year for me financially either. But hey, you have a point, less eating, less $$! But eating healthy is by no means cheap. In fact, I'll prob spend at least an extra $100 every two weeks. But I'm obsessed with my weight.

beachgirl, I think your idea of a contest is really cute but good luck finding any women who would post a picture of themselves standing on a scale (especially the before picture) unless they only had like 5lbs. to lose /default_smile.png

 
Yep Suzie

If I was 115 trying to get to 110 I might post the picture! Hope there is someone brave enough. I could use that $200 though......

I like the use of the word 'fluffy' : )...

I may use that line for the larger girls I meet!

 
Unless you're really "fluffy," you might want to use some kind of %weight lost criterion instead of raw weight, otherwise the most "fluffy" of people will likely take your 200 bucks. For instance, someone going from 140lbs to 120lbs is more impressive than someone going from 350lbs to 325lbs. The latter lost around 7% mass while the former around 14%.

Or maybe, just maybe, I'm rigging the thing so that a skinny guy like me can nab some (potentially) easy money. I think with a GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) diet, I could possibly achieve a maximum ~17% change in mass if I let myself fall to a rather unhealthy temporary weight. (Is the concentration camp look back in style?) At the very least, I could do a 7-9% mass loss with little effort.

I'll have to see what the prize pool and competition looks like before (and if) I accept the challenge. Or you can go ahead and disqualify me...

I'm not really fluffy. I just feel it! If you asked anyone who knows me, I don't need to lose weight. But I'm hard on myself (can't help it!) and feel like I need to lose about 20 pounds to get ready for summer. 😏

I love the word fluffy!

You're absolutely right. All the diet pools that are going around are by percentage. That's definitely how I'd wanna do it. I'm still waiting for more people to wanna do it! In the meantime, I've already gotten to working on it.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
