Im not sure if I understand correctly, you are a troll and you are successfully trolling on FB which makes you happy = ergo this goes in the happy news thread?

I don't think I agree, but, people are different. You do you.

what? it’s a group of Millenials and Gen Z kids making memes where they pretend to be Boomers who don’t know how memes or Facebook work. it’s a closed group so there isn’t any trolling going on.

unless this is a deep cut and you’re pretending to be a Boomer goon who doesn’t get it.

I'm a Fatty McFats-a-lot, but have been losing weight and the best feeling is ditching those extra X's on your sizes.

Saturday I fit into a Medium. It's a Medium-Tall from a retailer whose sizes run big. It's also kind of tight. But it's a Medium and I'm taking that lap.

That's amazing fellow goon. A medium is a medium and getting there is just great.

It was Dwarf74's story and PM peptalk that finally gave me the kick in the rear I needed. Sure meds gently caress with my metabolism and It'll probably be slow going as a result, but I just don't want to be fat anymore.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement goons, happy thread is good. (Also maybe one day I'll be able to change my name to Sane Mind :o )

I'm joining you in this challenge! This week, I'm meeting with a personal trainer for the first time in forever, and I'm kind of terrified. I'm SO OUT OF SHAPE and I have no idea how I'm going to perform on Wednesday. Gonna give it my best, though!

Just follow their advice and pay attention to your body. There's a difference between muscle strain pain and structural strain pain, pipe up if you detect the latter. I'd bet money that you need to stretch a ton cause us slothly first worlders have super tight connective tissue from sitting on our asses all day.

Yup that's my biggest problem at the moment. Before I could even start I had to spend a lot of time stretching. I do know what I missed most about the gym though, doing squats and weight lifting.

Yes! Just don't overdo it, I'm not saying you would, but it's easy to get pumped and excited about finally taking that step and overshooting. I'm going Wednesday again myself and I'll be thinking about a fellow goon taking the plunge too!

This was always my biggest problem, for years I would go back to the gym for a week or two and inevitably overshoot, get way too sore and have to take several days off to recover, which is super discouraging and any interest I had in returning would quickly fizzle out.

Be excited! Get pumped!! But, if anything, I suggest undershooting your limit for the first week or two to try and get a feel for where your boundaries are. You can always push harder next time if you're not terribly sore the next day, but it's much more difficult to dial it back after going too far in my experience.

Also drink a protein shake as soon as humanly possible after working out for the best benefit which will also aid in recovery. Pre-workouts are good for this too, but check the caffeine content before you go crazy as they can differ wildly in their concentration - from the same brand, I have one that's 50mg caffeine per scoop, and another that's 195mg per scoop, which I have never even used because I think my heart would explode

Pick things up! Put things down! Repeat!

It's a high performance one which I assume is meant for someone about to go run a marathon or something

195mg of caffeine isn't completely absurd spread out - it's only about the content of 2 cups of coffee - but all of that all at once is a bit loving much

I think that comes with an avatar change, right?

Gang tags like buglord over there come with donations. There's a whole cool chart.

When you buy a new avatar, you can insert some text. There's a field for it in the purchase page.



If you're talking about GANG TAGS, it gets a...little more complicated? Your gang tag image has to be hosted on SA somewhere, and then you can take the source of that image and paste it into the title text of your new avatar purchase (along with the requisite bbtags).



If you donate, you get a separate tag that's added to your avatar automatically based on the amount you've donated. I don't know where that chart lives. I am a Toilet Rascal for donating some dollars.
