Don't drink soda, start cooking more/most of your meals, and walk/bike as many places as you can (e.g. to work, the store) as a matter of routine

unless you are like 6'10" or built like an ox 112kg is too heavy, how did gaining 3kg put you over the top?

if you find yourself really missing the energy drinks it's probably the caffeine. try to develop a taste for coffe (actual coffe, not a mixed coffee drink) or tea and you won't miss the energy drinks as much

just take caffeine pills before hitting the gym dude. we all get tired from time to time

energy drinks taste like pee, they are bottom tier. see: favorite drinks thread

You r weight has nothing to do with whether you are a good person, Michael Jackson. If you want to become a better person, consider volunteering.

not that whether i'd gently caress you is a good indicator of whether you're a good person except, well, it totally is

for real though let us please encourage oru freiend michael jackson to become healthier, because being overweight is seriously bad for your health, even though you might be a good person

being fat caused bruddah Iz his premature death, despite being good. I would've been able to see him sing his songs were it not for that

actually, "overweight" people on the BMI scale live the longest.

also longevity isn't the only measure, as overweight and obese people age they are much more likely to have lovely lives filled with health problems and hospital stays

but to be fair, the "overweight" category (25-30) is hardly any different from the 22.5-25 one (which is the upper half of the normal-weight category)... the effect becomes much more pronounced as you move into the obese and super obese categories

obviously there are a lot of other factors involved, including the fact that there are reasons for being normal weight other than being fit and some "overweight" people can actually be pretty healthy, but in general obesity is a really bad thing for your health and a crazy (and rising) amount of people admitted to hospitals are in there because of obesity-related problems, even if they are surviving they are going to the hospital all the drat time

I also recently made the move from 100 to 115 and felt bad. For me the key is no food in the house that you don't have to cook. I mean nothing. No drinks with calories. They make diet red bull that is 10 calories, but once you start cutting calories you may find you lose your taste for them.

http://www.hundredpushups.com/ is a nice 1 thing you can add that lets you build up to 100 push ups, when i started it i seriously could only do a few girl push ups. It's something you can do at home with no equipment that gets you in the habit of something

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ is a calorie logging site, you can start by just logging what you eat without cutting anything to see where you are. Then adjust after a week enough to give you a small deficit.

Honestly do what you want, and don't try too much or you will just say gently caress it.

*we don't even know how tall you are or buff, you may be a God. You can tell me to gently caress off

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 13.10 cars out of 100,000 ended up in fatal crashes. The rate for motorcycles is 72.34 per 100,000 registered motorcycles.[1] Motorcycles also have a higher fatality rate per unit of distance travelled when compared with automobiles. Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists' risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than a passenger car.[1] In 2004, figures from the UK Department for Transport indicated that motorcycles have 16 times the rate of serious injuries compared to cars, and double the rate of bicycles.[2]

yes but all that weight traveling at crash velocity can cause even more carnage whereas at much slower speeds it becomes the glistening sweaty cushion that may softly save you

this week i have committed to help somebody to build a garage. it is a lot of lifting and stuff and i have made the move to zero calorie energy drinks.

i also have posted a picture of me in byob a while ago but nobody said anything so i look pretty whitenoise i guess.

spoiler: it is me drinking coffee.

# ? Jul 28, 2015 13:21

heavy labor + reducing calories is a great start! Keep it up and once you get used to it, cut more calories off of your diet and when you finish the garage start trying to exercise more or even just walk more places
