For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

Maybe you should have more self control and not communicate with such shitty people? Looks like IF is the new vegan.

If i ever saw you post something positive and or constructive I'd probably fall over in shock.

Completely agreeing with Kuya. I live with people who LOVE chocolate, and trying to kick the habit and stay on IF is a gigantic pain.

Fuck. Yes. Also horrible when people know you're trying to stick to a diet, and keep fucking offering icecream, cake, brownies, cookies, OR FUCKING ANYTHING EVEN AFTER YOU'VE ASKED THEM TO STOP.

This too. I love all that stuff, but you're trying to be good, and people sneak this food at you...bleh.

I got two ladies at my work trying to lose weight and they're doing a great job. Instead of tempting em with delicious treats, whenever they say they want chocolate or cake, I verbally rip em apart. In a sarcastic manner, of course. It's good fun. Gotta keep them in line!

[Cream Soda]

I'm pretty good with the self control. Haven't broken a fast since I started, but it's still annoying to be offered food all the time as if they're testing me to see if they can get me to crack

[Milkster]

Or the fact that you live in poverty could be a factor of them offering you food. But you're right, they're such assholes for caring.

Outside of the interwebs, I'm a pretty private person. Most people don't even know I was living w/o utilities, yet alone me saying that I've already ate/hit my calories for the day/my eating window isn't open, when I've already fully explained intermittent fasting to them.

[Shiroikage]

Oh god, yes. Fucking completely agree with this post.

Just as a total aside are you doing IF and trying to gain weight? If you are, best to go back to a normal feeding schedule since the magic of intermittent fasting is that the same calories in a smaller window are more filling than the same calories in a larger window.

Aim for 2800-3000 cals, I'm 5'5", 157-ish lbs and would (and do) lose weight or maintain while eating 2300.

Oh no, I did IF to lose the 40 pounds. Once I started really trying to gain weight I stopped. Simply because I couldn't even get 2300 calories into my normal eating window without feeling like I was going to die. Ill shoot for 3000 and see what that does for me, thanks!

Finally broke down and bought a gym membership for $77 for me and the wife, planning on going mon/wed/fri later in the day. Looking at 1/2 the machines there I have no fucking clue how they even function lol, gonna have to have someone show me or something.

[Omnipotent]

For that price it better have a pool and a sauna at least.

[In Flames]

And a hell of a lot of barbell, squat racks and benches because you should be using machines as little as possible unless its cardio.

Who here would be interested in a little competition? I have not thought of anything in depth about it yet, but am interested in making one. Something for a little extra motivation and such to help each other push through their barriers.

If enough people are willing (Probably at least 5) i can make the plans for a competition with some type of reward at the end. Maybe a free game or a gift card to motivate people. Competition would last 2 months. Send me some PM's if interested. If a mod is willing to help put up a poll to show the status of each competitor that would be cool to.

Edit: 3 people are in so far.

[CoreyX]

What would the competition involve?

[myreality]

Basically improvements, body weight, strength, endurance, size. I have yet to really go in depth to make sure its as fair as possible since everyone improves at different rates. But will need to keep a log, i will write something out in detail. But i think this could be something that will benefit everyone if taken seriously enough. Send me some PM's as i will not be on for a while and i will get back to anyone interested.


Edit: Seems like we have enough people to make this competition a real thing. Obviously the more the merrier.

I will be starting on a rough draft of the terms of the competition then will post it here in a couple days so hopefully by the end of the 7th. Input is always appreciated!

Yoga mat came in the mail, time to shake and fart in the comfort of my own room. Fuck yea

[Kuya]

Living the life

[AidenCarby]

Certainly, maybe in 3-4 months I'll throw some rubber guard on some bitches.

[RKenshin]

Yoga is the shit.

Eh it's this area man. Columbia MD, everything is priced up because people just throw their cash around it seems, everyone working for government contractors and shit with six figure paychecks apparently. I can't find anything cheaper in the area that isnt a good hour drive.

[Serif]

Yoga is the shit.

This so much. I lost 40+ lbs just doing heated power yoga everyday for 3 months. Almost in the best shape of my life and I am flexible! Continue to do classes everyday and sometimes 2 a day. Add in swimming and or working out and you get insane results.
