Sweet.

Strange about losing Netflix though.

Thinking I'm going to finally plunge into one of the more extreme diets after talking to two successful people last night. Gonna try the No Carb one. Still not going to go the Vegan route though.

Netflix really isn't worth it, in my opinion. The only reason I have it is for the television series (The West Wing, Daredevil, The Punisher which will shortly be up) - most of the movies themselves aren't much to talk about, especially in the horror section.

That said, it's cheap, so I'll keep throwing money at them, if for no other reason to annoy Jason. :P
For my thoughts on the horror films I've seen, please look here: https://jigsawshorrorcorner.wordpress.com/

Sounds difficult. I might diet again but I can’t see one of those extremes.

Streaming, I still get Netflix in the mail. They keep jacking up the streaming prices and I wasn't really utilizing it to justify their rapery.

Just keep in mind that carbs=energy, so you'll be pretty fucking tired. It's not the healthiest diet, either. And no diet is worth a damn without a complement of exercise. In the end, it doesn't matter what you eat, you just need to know that there is no way to lose weight without taking in fewer calories than you burn. A guy went on a diet of nothing but twinkies to prove that. He felt like shit, but he lost weight.

Unfortunately that hasn't been working for me. I know plenty of people do not believe me here, but I am active, and I don't consume that many calories every day. I eat like shit on weekends, but the weekdays is pretty damn strict. So I'm needing to go stricter.

Plus everyone has their own input. This is an avenue I haven't gone down, so I'm going to do it to try.

But here I am, shaved head and beard this weekend and I'm looking like Curly.

I don't know what you do/don't do since I've been MIA for ages, but if you say you're active, I believe you. I've known you long enough to know you wouldn't bullshit about that. What exactly do you do? I'm no expert, but I have studied to be a personal trainer(gave up because I can never remember the fucking names of things, plus I hate people), and have been into weight training/fitness for twenty odd years, so maybe I could figure something out. There's alot of misinformation out there as far as what's good for you in exercise. Then again, I might not see shit. Weird genetics could be a thing, too(thyroid issues and whatnot), but that won't make things impossible.

I've done the no carb thing it's miserable at first. You will be surprised how your body reacts to no carbs. Inability to think or process information like being dazed for a week or two. Moody and irritable as fuck. It works once you get past that horrible first stage but it's nearly impossible to maintain. The paleo diet is easier and not nearly as hard to maintain for me.

I'd only say go for a low-carb vs. no carb, but either way, don't get too carried away with it. I've known multiple people to do the Atkins/no carb, and while it does yield weight loss results, most got into the sickly if not skeletal thin category where most thought they lost the weight due to illness. But a lot of those people weren't particularly smart and you're a smart dude, so you should be alright. The goal is happy and healthy, not a size or a weight.

I do a very significant amount of walking every day (no car helps with that). I've been averaging about 12-13k steps daily. I also own and use a row machine, it's the only machine I own and can fit in my dinky apartment :P I also still attempt yoga, but it's difficult to maintain right now with my escalated weight. I also have a couple hand weights. For two years I had a gym membership and went regularly (I rotated a lot of machines there, but stayed away from the body builder section that had it's own special room) but I cancelled because I couldn't afford it anymore. Think I've been away from the gym for almost 2 years now?

I did also find out I could have a heart murmur/hole that my mom and sister has. I have not gone to a doctor (would need $$$) but when i read about it, I matched the symptoms to a T better than anything else I tried looking up for issues. So it basically explains why I burn out extremely fast when I do exhausting stuff.

Yeah these two guys said it would be miserable at first, and described it would do exactly that. One of them hadn't had an issue for years while the other guy was newer, but I have visibly watched weight melt off him over the last 2 years.

I don't imagine I'll be 100% with it. I'll likely cave every once in a while for a good burger or spaghetti :P

All time favorite. And if I don't make it myself, there's only one place I can trust to make a good spaghetti dish. Have you had Vince's Spaghetti? Not sure if they're near your neck of the woods but there's two out by here in Ontario.

Oh yeah, and for Slaughter, I've been a calorie counter for years, keeping track of everything up on MyFitnessPal.com (though I haven't updated in a long time due to...nothing happening) but it always tells me "if you keep eating and exercising like this, you will lose 7 lbs by next month!" and shit like that, lol. I thought that would help but clearly it hasn't.
