The entire difference and what makes your analogy invalid is that I'm not going anywhere or trying to find a new corp. I'm already exactly where I want to be and I hope you come back someday too.

Basically, the "purge the fat" is pubbie bullshit and no one gives a flying gently caress except pubbie shitlords. It has to be done for other groups because they derive their sense of identity from their in game stats. Most of us don't give a poo poo. We play when it's fun, or when it's feasible for us to do so.

The practice is not about "purge the fat". But yes, periodic purging of long-term inactives has been practised by such "pubbie shitlords" as Goonwaffe/Goonfleet 2007-2014* but not by such truegoons as Brave Newbies.

*I don't know about 2006 because I was a Johnny-come-lately newscrub, and I think it didn't happen for a while from mid-2009 until mid-2010.

Edit: BNI actually did do a purge eventually, this year. I would not have liked to be that sucker.

Vyst. You being the champion marathon runner who shed more weight than a Mormon husband getting a divorce. How do you manage training in the morning?

I ingest about 1050 calories per day spread over 4 meals. Perform a physical job and then jog for about 45 minutes in the evening and I only lose about 1 kilogram per month and they are quick to come back if I go on a vacation or take time off. Also I'm always hungry. Always!

I start work at 7 which means I get up at 5 and I have tried exercising in the mornings but it just leaves me exhausted for the first half of the work day.

Your BMR is likely north of 1,500cal/day (depends on your age too), and the actual expenditure is probably significantly higher if you are exercising and physically active in general.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator

Too large of a caloric deficit is counterproductive for weight loss for a lot of reasons (low energy, metabolic slowdown, wacky hormones, poor nutrition...). If you're really only eating 1000cal/day you're probably overdoing it and your body is reacting accordingly.

Pretty sure for the "average person" that puts your BMI in the "good/healthy" weight?
I know it's not quite the same for everyone's build though, maybe you need to get more muscle rather than lose fat, to tone up?

Even at my hardcore mode the minimum id consume is 1200. And those are on like no workout days.

Also I don't workout in the morning. I do mine after work. Ok thats a lie on the weekends I workout in the morning. Basically if I don't have to go to work it's easy for me to get up.

I have the benefit of my gym being on my drive home so I feel guilty if I drive by after work

I think my job gives me the wrong kind of muscles too because the physical strain comes mostly in bursts rather than a prolonged endurance test.

And is this a smart move? Wont the mbc also limit what their linemembers can do to only stuff that is near saranen?

Also I really don't like gyms. Too many people.

I have been working on weight loss myself for the past year. In the beginning I did not see much traction. In the past 9 months roughly, I have been losing around 2-3lb (around 1 kilo) a week. When this all started, I was too unhealthy to actually do a real workout in a gym so I only really have been walking a lot every day. As far as diet goes, my goal is for 1200 calories per day but I usually end up around 1500. I also try to keep my carb intake to under 100g for the day. Most of my meals are generally meats or other protein and greens. I have recently been cleared to do full workouts at the gym by my doctor so on days I work out, I am adding in about 400 calories to what I eat normally in protein shakes+milk, usually post workout.

When I started I was at 287lb (about 130kg) and I am currently at 212lb (about 96kg). My first goal is to get to 180lb (81kg) then eventually down to 165 (75kg).

The only way I see retaining inactives being actively harmful is if your leadership believes its own poo poo and assumes that because there's 2,000 names in your corp that you have that many ready and willing to show up for your next war.

So, obviously, I'm on the Goon side of things, and mittens would probably say something about not interrupting enemies while making a mistake... but looking at it abstractly, I don't think it's a very smart move for most of the MBC. Specifically:

* For PL, it's a loving terrible move, like "what the hell are you thinking, seriously"
* For NC, it's a no-op
* For DARK, it's an interesting move with the potential to either be good or bad, not sure
* For everyone else, not so sure, probably harmless

Saranen's the hottest place in Eve at the moment, and PL effectively can't shoot anyone except Goons -- as of their standings at the time of this post, PL is currently blue to over 45,000 characters, comprising pretty much everyone within fifty gates of Saranen. They've built a donut bigger than anything CFC had at the height of its influence; they've got nothing to do in Saranen except run station camps -- which are easily circumvented with instaundocks, as this is lowsec.

It's also bad for everyone MBC because it removes the few incentives that line Goons had to give PL any fun. After all, it's not like we have any sov left to lose. We were willing to do the occasional welpcane scrap when it was just PL and the odd NC guys in the area; a Saranen dogpile means we just go right back to swords and bombers.

About the only way I can see PL making good out of a Saranen move is if they use it as a stager for a move against northRus -- but even then, it seems questionable, unless they reset some of the MBC in order to make some local loweffort content. If they're planning to keep the blues they presently have and strike northward, a more sensible stager would be Obe or Taisy.

Alternately, if PL wants to go after T-C in Fountain, that's an option too from Saranen, although there's better stagers for that too. My gut read is that they want to open up their options for the "next campaign" but still feel tethered to the area due to PH bail-outs, so Saranen makes something that's a half-step in that direction while preventing PH from feeling abandoned.

You are severely undereating. Even the most hardcore cuts rarely go below 1200cal, and I have a hard time believing you're maintaining any sort of muscle mass.

Chicken, turkey, other lean meats should be a staple of your diet; a personal favourite of mine is marinating chicken breast in a vinegar+lemon juice brine overnight, then baking with a thyme, garlic and basil rub until cooked. You can chop a breast up in your salad to add essential protein, and it's got a tasty tang.

You can get a decent home dumbbell set for dollars by the pound, even less if you buy used. Start with goblet squats, dumbbell rows, overhead presses, and dumbbell bench presses. Graduallly increase the weight by 5lbs each week and eat 1/10th your body weight (in lbs) in grams of protein. You'll feel better within one week, you'll notice new muscle in a month, and your weight will increase while your fat will shrink.


Just bear in mind that weight fluctuates. You'll retain water, bloat out after a big meal, then normalize. Don't panic because the scale shows you added a kilo or two; all that matters is you like what you see when you look in the mirror, and have realistic expectations for what will make you happy.

I'm sure more poorly fit caps will get caught, a few more FAXs will eat poo poo, and subcaps will die by the dozen.

However:

If we leave, we still search for the elusive ~gudfite~ but subject ourselves to horrible things like inter-regional travel via gates.
