This is funny to me because going from a Ketogenic / Cutting diet to a Carb / Bulking diet has made me feel like superman. I seem to have way more energy when rolling / lifting, it is absurd. Who needs steroids, just give me some sugar.

Anyone have a preferred device selling site? I was looking at putting up my Nexus 6 on Swappa potentially to try and recoup some of the new device. I have not used any of those sites in general though. Needing a new SIM pretty much sealed the deal on dumping the 6 as a spare. Might be able...

Can confirm, 5X is a great phone. The wife is enjoying her so far. I was going to get the 5X for myself as well but got the 6P. It was slightly slimmer than my 6 and should have less thumb stretching problems which was my only real gripe with that large of a phone.

Also, didn't like half of the town just get murdered? Shouldn't they be well stocked for the time being?

When you say opposite, do you mean the diet or the volume workout or both?

Yep, I just had to do this last night. Phone arrived, popped my Nexus 6 SIM in, buzzkill. Then I remembered an email Google sent me a few weeks back about a SIM. Guess I should have paid more attention to that one. First impressions of the phone with just WiFi for connectivity have been...

I am part of the 'loves to eat' bandwagon. I enjoy food and eating, clearly a part of why I was so overweight. I had been able to eat until I wasn't hungry when doing keto type diets very well. Recently, moving to a more traditional diet (carbs), I have been having cravings and 'episodes'...

I have been doing the BodyWeight routine (/r/bodyweightfitness) mostly successfully for around the past 30 days now. I am officially starting my first bulking phase to try it out. I am hoping to be able to stay sane long enough for this to go until approximately mid / end January 2016. The...

One of the tracker apps I have been following finally got their 1.0 release. I am not sure I am going to move over to it as I am so heavily invested in MyFitnessPal currently and Joy will go subscription ($2/mo) after the trial which is still more than the $0 for MFP. If only they would have...

All the pictures I see online of thigh shots are just guys in boxer briefs pulling up one side of the boxer near their hip. The 'half speedo' as it were. I am glad you are taking weekly pictures this early in the process. That is something I wish I had done and regret not doing it.

In other news, my 6P order with an ETA of 11/22 just shipped with an ETA of this Wednesday. Google must have got their act together for taking peoples money effectively. Exciting.

Well this is interesting. I just randomly went and checked on Nexus 6P status again. It let me order one, delivery mid November is estimated. I did not get an alert or off the wait list or anything, just random. No hesitation this time. This was for Aluminum 64GB.

Yeah, dude became extremely introspective during his little vision quest in the river.

Got caught up on the latest episodes yesterday. The only thing I was going to complain about was Michonne humoring the whiny dreadlock guy. "Whaaaa, we are so hard, we know to to survive, stop hurting our feelings!". Then she shut him down and that made me happy.

My wife's 5X arrived last night. How someone can see a shiny new phone box and not tear into it immediately is beyond me. She just kept facebooking and instagraming on her old phone while making dinner. Hopefully will get some hands on with it soon. I nearly broke down and ordered a 6P for...

Just found this site today. Seems like a pretty good tracker. Leverages lots of standard measurements via tape / skin fold and inputs them into a variety of formulas all at once. Gives a nice snapshot and report base. Not sure if it will make it into regular use for me, but I like to try...

Good to hear on the 5X. I ordered one for my wife. Should have some hands on with it whenever they decide to ship it.

I am not sure there is a 'soft' throttle on data, more just a max cap. Turn off data automatically when you hit a limit - Project Fi Help For me, I just make sure I am connected to WiFi whenever possible and don't do updates / streaming over cellular generally unless I am traveling. A...

I have been on Project Fi for a little over three months now. I transferred from T-Mobile. Service / quality has been no issue. My situation has only improved as I have access to the Sprint network as well. I have seen no issues with WiFi calling or transitioning between services. The...

For those that love the world. Save 23% on The Park on Steam They are releasing a single player game based in The Secret World...world. On sale now. Comes out in a couple of weeks.

One thing that helped me with this was only waking up 15 minutes earlier every week or so. I used to wake up around 6-630a. Over about a month I set my alarm forward and eventually reached 5a. I have been successfully waking up at 5a for the past 30 days or so without much incident...

WatchedInfinilast night randomly. Kind of an odd psychological space horror film. Very Event Horizon vibe from it. It wasn't amazing but it did keep me entertained the whole way through.

You read my mind with the idea for the first 30 days. I am 35, flexibility and general conditioning is the exact type of thing I want to improve. For instance, after trying some of the body weight exercises, I have a bit of mobility and flexibility work to do get comfortable and stable in the...

The pair of gymnast rings I ordered arrived yesterday. I had been debating getting a home weight set, another gym membership, or something to start a basic strength training program. I decided testing my willpower first was the best approach. So with $60 in equipment I am going to try a 90...

If there is one thing I wish I would have put more thought into while initially dropping my weight it would have been lifting / building muscle during that process. I am not sure what your height is, but I am about 5'9" / 160 lbs. The comment of 'can't picture myself going too small' rings...

That is huge, good work. What are you shooting for?

I did my LASIK around 12 years ago via the old flap cutting method. I actually just went in for an eye exam today because my vision has degraded to the point where I notice it. I can still pass the drivers test, but am now around 20/30. I was young and dumb when I did my original LASIK and...

Seconded on the stretching if you are having knee trouble. I don't understand how everything in the body connects and pulls on each other fully. However, I do understand the world of difference regularly stretching my hips, hamstrings, and lower back has made in my knees quality of life.

I have noticed that as well recently with auto correct. The phone is trying to have its own conversation, or rather the conversation it thinks you want to have. The auto correction has definitely been more noticeably based on context rather than just the single word alone. Or maybe I am just...

I just checked my loss numbers. Largely keto, minimal exercise (yoga) to start, so similar to mkopec. Went ~283 lbs. to 227 lbs. in ~5.5 months but 265 > 195 in 11 months. Blasted holiday season, gets me every time.

My service with Fi has been great. Bills are great (~$27/mo). My wife is still on T-Mobile as she doesn't want gigantophone. We still pay less on separate carriers than we did together before. Just a matter of time before Fi gets a phone out she wants and we will have dropped around 30-40%...

Keto is a great framework to start cutting crap out of a diet. Provides simple rules and results with a minimum amount of discomfort. I am still having great success following a mostly Keto diet. I have started introducing good carbs similar to a targeted ketogenic diet and, overall, I don't...

I did my first bike maintenance myself over the weekend. Outside of not having a bike stand and getting grease everywhere it was pretty relaxing. I didn't do anything crazy, but I did degrease / lube up my chain / cassette, tightened up my brakes, and put on some of the commuter components...

I use MyFitnessPal. I almost bailed on MFP during the Free / Premium annoyance but persevered. There is another app called Joy that works reasonably well but, for me, the MFP database has been the most solid. My wife uses whatever app came on her Samsung Galaxy and it works for what she needs.

While not the intended effect, I have found Xanthan Gum to assist pushing through anything pending in the bowels. I didn't read how little needed to be used and boy did my stomach make some weird sounds for the next day.

Has anyone had any experience with bone conduction headphones? They basically seem like magic to me at the moment. I don't need excellent audio quality, my primary driver is wireless for biking. The secondary is that, if this worked, I wouldn't have to do the 'one on one off' strategy of...

The sweat thing was my main concern as well. In my case, the mornings are cool enough and I am not going all out during biking to work up much of a sweat. On the way home, I am going home, and don't care as much.

I definitely over ate last week and as penance I decided to give biking to work another try. I am going to give my body some time to acclimate, but boy am I going to have to develop a different relationship with food. I think this is definitely a case for do more / eat more. It isn't terribly...

Issue #12 is the first time a new dungeon has come out since...forever. That is assuming you do not count Scenarios. I haven't had a chance to get on yet and try it out, but I was always a huge fan of TSW dungeons for the atmosphere and no trash boss > boss > boss mentality. If they didn't...

I haven't heard of new quests, just the new raid / dungeon. Those probably come with a couple of quests and I imagine the story line quest expands as well.
