I had blood work done, not directly before, but about 6 months before I started to lose weight. Cholesterol was all 'normal' at that point. LDL was getting up a little, but within range. HDL was a bit low (like 41 instead of over 50). This time around HDL was up 20% but LDL was up around...

Alright gentlemen, I just got the word back from my doctor and he is not amused. My cholesterol took a large jump in the wrong direction. Go figure, eating butter all the time etc can have a negative side effect. Anyway, before I freak out and get on some meds / change diet, various internet...

Depends on how you are going to tackle meals. I currently do a fat bomb (coffee, butter, coconut oil) in a thermos M - F. This takes care of my breakfast and lunch. Just have to worry about dinner past that point. If you want to do a more normal breakfast / lunch / dinner scenario I would...

For me, Keto's largest benefit was satiety. When you eat a bunch of fat hunger is not really a problem. I also found it more difficult to over eat because of this as well. This allowed minimal calorie counting in general. The secondary benefits are probably personal ones. I like the types...

edit,Browser is dumb.

I have only tried making them once, but some keto folk make oopsie bread to help for buns, etc. Mine did not turn out quite right, but the concept was good. Oopsie Bread Recipe - Food.com - 497736

+1 for sweet potato. I am giving that a shot today. I didn't have time to go to the grocery store so I just pieced together a pre / during / post workout plan. I ended up making a single sweet potato and threw in some butter and coconut oil (yeah I know). Going to have that before I start...

I decided to go to the 'normal' BJJ class at the gym last night after the beginner class. While it was fun, it doesn't really scale very linearly in terms of difficulty compared to beginner. This session completely destroyed me. I had a hard time not wanting to vomit and I feel like if I was...

I can personally vouch for diet being a majority of the battle. I went from 283 to approximately 240 before I even tried to work out. After that point, I started working out and dropped another 25 pounds. Even if you have no desire to work out, find a diet that works for you and get used to...

I loved playing through this game. In terms of areas, the starting island was hands down my favorite. It was a blast to uncover that story line. Egypt was probably my least favorite. Gave me too much of a Diablo II 2nd act vibe. I would say playing through this game once is the minimum...

Just finished reading this book. I could not put it down. I didn't think Dalinar was a fan of tight leather...

Challenge accepted.

I decided I needed to start tracking myself via MFP again this week. I had what I thought was a good week last week but didn't budge my weight. That means I am still cocky or plateauing. I vote for cocky at the moment. I put in my meals from yesterday and what I remember of Sunday and I...

In regards to the really clean house, etc. I kind of figured that the kidnappers stocked the house to lull traveler's in and take them. Seems like a stretch given the number of people that would pass by though.

Do post apocalyptic survivors forget what glass is? Peep holes? Anything? "Hey, i heard a noise, let's go open the door as wide as possible!". Also, I am not sure I saw it correctly or not, but was Maggie just laying out in the street hanging out with some bodies? I get she is losing it...

Do not like. I really enjoy healing on my resto druid right now. It could be more engaging, but how interesting do they think they can make it? You are playing a mini game where you keep 10 - 25 boxes as full as possible. I would prefer for healing not to be tedious, that will make things...

Timeless Isle is the primary thing to do once you hit 90. This will pretty much get you outfitted with everything except weapon and a single trinket. Depending on how lucky you are you will get a burden or two. Download the handy notes plugin for timeless isle, helps make sure you get all the...

It's in China.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

My server, for all classes, the pieces run between 5 - 10k. Depends on the day and how many are up at a given time.

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...

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...

What did she have done? I was commenting that I thought she looked different now. I swear she must have got a boob job but the face doesn't look quite right either.

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...

Well that is awkward. I swear I looked through everything, just not talent's next to death's advance. I may have to give this a try.

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...

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...
