    Weight Loss Thread

    I cannot add anything that these guys already haven't for the last bit of weight. Around 10 years ago when I lost a bunch of weight the first time, I was able to get to about 180 pretty quickly / systematically. Past that point, things just got weird. I decided to not stress about it and just...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I haven't posted an update in a while but I figured I would drop in. As of the start of March I am down to 217, 66 lbs. lost, 18 to go. The end of last year / start of this year have been a bit of a challenge. I basically lost most of my willpower. Not enough to gain weight, but enough to...

    Almost Human

    I would rather watch Almost Human than The Following. I just can't get into The Following at all. I liked the season finale, but it wrapped up too nicely. That makes me feel like it was getting canned. They had an opportunity for multiple decent cliff hangers..not sure if spoiler...

    The Walking Dead

    Episode was ok, I just caught up on it today. I am very happy there wasn't any kissing or more that happened. I wouldn't have been able to take it seriously. Did anyone else have a problem with Beth's new clothing? Switch, immediately bloodied, then spotted, then smeared, then just plain...

    Home buying thread

    We just sold our town home 8 months ago. During the lead up time we just had to work with the showing people. We basically said that we needed at least 24 hours notice. They could still check with us to see if it was ok, but it was almost a firm no. Outside of that, we just had to keep our...

    Depression

    I am not sure of your current situation, but I do what Izo says. The choices you made in the past, good or bad, made you the person you are today. If you made different choices, you would be a different person, and may not have some of the things in your life you enjoy today. For instance...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I thought it was just me last night. I tried to join 3 different groups. The first two would get the invite and then it would instantly go away and I wouldn't be in the group. The third one was fine so I assumed the other groups hadn't updated.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I was able to hop in my first Flex raid last night. Did Vale with 14 people. Flex is so much better than LFR. We one shot everything (barely on sha, just two tanks left at the end) and the over all experience felt more 'in control'. I enjoyed the pace more as well. Only having to worry...

    Depression

    I hadn't considered this. I am definitely an introvert, so I don't talk much in any social interaction, which can basically be like being alone as you just end up being on the sidelines. I am married, but it is winter and we don't go out much. I think one of the primary problems is that, good...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I think the reread is pretty necessary. I read the first couple of chapters of Words of Radiance and I had completely lost track of who was who.

    Depression

    Just found this thread today and I am going to have to start reading through it. I am pretty sure I am suffering from depression. At least enough to research on the internet and check out symptoms, etc. They all seem to match up. General malaise, not happy with anything really, negative...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I decided I am going to level a hunter when I am not raiding on my druid. So far, I really enjoy healing in a raid. I can make mistakes and there is more than one other person that can cover. Still working on rotation and mana management. I did Vale of Eternal Sorrow last week with 3.5k...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    How would you rate vs. a mage playstyle? I dusted off my mage for a bit yesterday and it was fun, but lacks in the ability to solo well in timeless isle. That is kind of my benchmark for being able to solo in general. Normal soloing mage can tear things up, but pretty much any class can do...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This if funny because that is what I am going through right now. I have two characters that I have leveled up to 90 in the past couple of months. I get full timeless, I run a couple of raids, and then I lose interest and move on to the next one. I really thought I had it as a DK, raided...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In LFR, the only time people seem to get angsty is after a wipe. Every time a group wipes, especially in SoO, the finger pointing starts. Also, if you have the gold to spend, you can acquire ilvl 553 belt / pants from the AH. I did that to give a quick shot to my ilvl so I could actually...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Gear acquisition happened really quick for my DK. I went the full timeless, protector's / avenger's trillium, and Lionheart Executioner from AH. That allowed me to hop immediately into SoO as DPS and almost ignore ToT for gear upgrades. After switching to tank, I just had to re-gem some of my...

    I ended up getting most of my starting Tank set for my DK ready this weekend and ran a LFR Underhold. Watching the videos online was a great pointer. There is a handy series that is just Tanking the zone from POV of a warrior while a guy explains it. That helped a ton. Overall, my rotation...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, the mobs on the Isle of Thunder are pretty lame. I am approx ilvl 520 in my DPS gear at the moment. I just switch to blood spec / blood presence. I run over to the docs and pull 10 - 15 of the works and AOE them down. It has been working pretty well so far. I got around 1500 rep in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Welp, just in case anyone is new to being back and working through the Legendary quest. I found a problem with the Valor Point quest and Isle of Thunder. I decided to just grind out some Black Prince rep and get that part out of the way ahead of time. I noticed that when I looted Valor from...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For bag mods, I love the one that came with luiv3, but it is not separate and I moved to tukui. I switched over to ArkInventory and it takes a little bit of configuring but I have liked it a lot. Very customisable, just intimidating at first. It definitely needs the interface shrunk by default.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I had the opportunity to run a few raids last night as DPS while working through some initial tank gear acquisitions. Going from 502 > 536 ilvl weapon upped my dps way more than I thought possible. Depending on the fight, I was pulling 100 - 120k pretty regularly. That makes me happy because...

    Here is my armory with my Frost DK gear on. I still have a couple of pieces that are more Blood related but I didn't modify too much. I need to tweak my hit a little bit to get it up to 7.5%. I haven't done a raid since the new weapon, but depending on the fight I was pulling 70 - 90k dps...

    I have been hitting up LFR for the past two weeks. I hadn't raided at all and after a 7 year break I am glad LFR exists. I would say about 80% of the groups complete the raid. There are a few mouth breathers that ruin things sometimes, but I am not perfect either so I can deal with it. Just...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just started playing again after about a 6 year break because a buddy used the Resurrection scroll on my account. The last time I played was around the Burning Crusade. Started a level 1 mage around a week ago and I am now level 63. The res scrolls provide silly experience when you are...

    Weight Loss Thread

    1300 calories doesn't seem like it would provide enough food. Can probably just switch over to soylent at that point. I put down approximately 1800 - 2100 calories per day, haven't really been counting lately as it is just routine. I was similar to Khane's frame when I started (282 lbs, 5'9")...

    Same here on the coal situation. I can basically only find enough coal to have a skeleton supply of torches so I can continue to explore. I can't even think about fueling my ship at the moment. The change in damage is also obnoxious. The Hunting Bow went from being overpowered to slightly...

    You can make huge changes to your weight and fitness level with diet change and just adding slight bits of exercise. Given your work schedule, I would start small and form that habit first. It is better to start slow than to go all out and have a higher risk of failure. I will plug DDP Yoga...

    The first one was fair to average. Nothing special really from what I remember. It didn't feel quite right. I thought Catching Fire was actually really good. This movie had a bit more going for it as they were able to get more into the revolution and what is happening outside of the arena...

    Mortgage Refinance Advice

    You should call the bank the owns the mortgage currently and ask if they will do an interest rate adjustment. I think they just called it a rate reduction, it was with US Bank at the time. Around 1.5 years ago that is an option I had on my FHA loan. Basically, they will just lower the...

    This. Whenever I had tried to lose weight previously I bit off more than I could chew. When I was not successful I just gave up. Introducing things bit by bit is definitely the way to go. I still do not enjoy working out, but setting small goals can help in the interim. Current goal is...
