It may be a good idea to read this article if you haven't already. All of you. I am not expecting it to change your minds or bring down any acceptance, but read it. I thought it was interesting and something to think about. It is also 10 years old, but like I said, these types of diet's have...

Nothing seems too harsh, it does seem like Paleo / Atkins / Bulletproof bring out some extremely strong opinions is all. I am just wondering though, what makes this a non-viable long term diet? Why can't this be the life changing experience? Let's assume that I get approximately 2-2.5k...

See, this is one area where I am somewhat confused. If you aren't hungry, should you still eat that many calories? That is what I like about this diet primarily, I am not hungry. After a week of figuring out the difference between not hungry, not full, actually hungry was to my body I was...

The starvation diet principle is why I stopped the rapid fat loss protocol. I may not have explained it right above, but half a week into that protocol I bailed and started eating normally again. I had been doing some reading on minimum calories, etc. and I wasn't convinced I would get enough...

Alright, figured I would do a status update on my progress after 6 weeks. It has been fairly interesting and I have been attempting to only change one thing per week so I can see what works best. The weeks broke down like this. Starting Weight: 282 lbs Week 1: Prep Week, getting food /...

It sounds like you need something to take your mind off of it. I would pick up a hobby, could be anything that keeps your mind active, even video games. I would also recommend it being social as that can definitely help. I don't think I have ever been too depressed, but I have been in the...

Well, I got a chance to play with the settings last night. I was about an ISO download away from reloading my laptop with Win7 as apparently Funcom doesn't have a plan of supporting Win8 and this is a fairly widespread problem. I think I was concerned too much about the overall FPS number...

While I am not at debate level for Paleo, I can echo what I have experienced over the past month. I will probably do a longer update towards the end of the month of basically 30 days on the Bulletproof Diet (modified Paleo). The jist of it is I haven't felt better in a long time. I am able to...

I have tried using DX11 and DX9, I am not sure I have noticed much of a difference between the two. I can try and turn it back to DX11 and screw around a bit more tonight. I am running GPU-Z to keep an eye on the graphics card stats while I play. The game is only using approximately 1GB of...

I was running AR / Blade for a while but it wasn't quite 'me'. I switched to AR / Fist and I have been doing much better soloing than I was previously. My main problem was not being able to handle more than one 'difficult' mob at a time, it was pretty much game over. With these two I can...

I picked this up as well during the sale and it has been a nice change of pace. The setting alone and the concept of investigative quests was refreshing. It did have a pretty rough first day of getting used to everything, but since then it has been just fine. I am definitely glad I read up on...

I went from 180 - 280 over the course of about 6 years. It started when I got my girlfriend (now wife) and the main factor being a job in IT. The first two through three years I gained around 30 - 40 lbs. It was a combination of going through a highly regimented bachelor lifesyle (running...

Thanks for the reminder. I had looked at this 3-4 months ago and didn't pull the trigger. I think the past few weeks have made me ready to give it an honest try.

I started to play Neverwinter around 2.5 weeks ago as a couple of my friends got into the game and I really enjoy MMOs with a known group of people. We all started in slightly different time frames, about 1 week apart or so. The problem we ran in to is half of our group hit 60 ahead of the...

I have been considering starting to swim again myself. I used to enjoy swimming when I was younger. I am basically in the same boat as Stonewall in terms of weight. I am 5'10" and around 270 lbs. I have been modifying my diet over the past couple of weeks. Because I need to do 'wacky'...

Based on the opening of each of the movies where I believe it shows Schierke as well as Farnese it looks like they intend to take it past the end of the anime and bring it inline with the manga. They could probably start attacking the manga and get 3 or more movies to get up to where it is...

10% isnt so bad, but 20% is about 40k on the home we are getting. We have about 45k total in savings but I am not comfortable with our "oops, someone lost a job" fund being depleted especially while being responsible for two mortgages. The problem is my wife wants a specific type of house...

Cursed 20%,we are doing 10 have over 700 credit. Mortgage insurance is the other thing that pisses me off, trying to keep that low. I am going to end up with two homes for a indeterminate amount of time. I am considering going renting as it is not selling for what I need to cover the...

Where these 2% loans coming from? My wife and I have finally found a home to purchase and according to our mortgage broker about 4.5% is we can get. This is crap as as early as 30 days ago we could have gotten 3.5%. Everything is already signed so I am basically hoping rates drop a bit.

I like the idea of viewing episode 10 as an epilogue. Red Wedding just felt so much more like a finale. I am getting a pretty serious Big Daddy / Hit Girl vibe from the Hound and Arya and I hope that pans out how I want it. I am guessing that she calls in Jaqen, demands she make her a bad...

If you were only going to get one of the $250 tier which would it be (outside of pro player of course). I haven't been able to grab a pro player and I am debating between Collector / Dungeon Crawler. On one hand I think double loot could be very powerful, on the other hand it is only getting...

I am in the same same boat, went with the king tier unless more open up.

Main question I had during that episode, is Daario the same person that helped Arya and company escape the Mountain / Harrenhall(?) by killing people that she could name? He uses similar terms (lovely girl) and I can't tell if the CGI face they used in the previous episode was supposed to be...

If you are around a Microcenter I would recommend them. They were selling the g75vw for cheaper than Amazon in store. They also sold a 2 year accident protection warranty that will cover any damage to the laptop. They literally told me that, between 1 and 2 years, I should trash the laptop...

I actually just picked up an ASUS g75vw and it is much better than my previous laptop. I had a HP EliteBook 8740w through work, it had a single back fan and one on the bottom. There wasn't enough lift on the laptop for the bottom exhaust to work very well. The g75vw seems to handle the heat...

Also, just wanted to plug current gear setup on 1999 mode. Really it is just the chest piece of Winter Shield and you are most of the way there. The rest is just gravy. Winter Shield (Brief invuln off of hooks / skyline, brief must be like 10 seconds or so much longer than anticipated)...

I chose the cage on my second play through. Definitely still gives coins in maps and points out lock picks like usual. I haven't really noticed much different not that I remember all the dialog either.

Love playing through this game, running through again on 1999 mode. I feel like possession is a bit overpowered. Possession + Charge + equipment for 30% posses chance on melee hit = gg. My first playthrough I barely utilized tears because I thought it hurt Elizabeth somehow and it was still...

I would say that Bioshock could be played both ways based on individual play style. Survival horror is stretching it a bit unless I some how have god like prowess at FPS (which I do not). There wasn't much resource management or even really horror on the hardest modes of the game. Those are...

UFC last night.

Another quick update around progress. I am still level 3 but approximately 3k AP from level 4. I had a really good run in Minneapolis. I was able to find a couple of unclaimed portals and take down a couple fading portals. The strategy of using the week to gather supplies and then targeting...

I was able to hit level 3 last night just barely. While my experience / fortune of getting from 4k - 24k AP was a really fun experience, getting the last 6k to level 3 was monotonous and annoying. Basically, a team of level 6 - 8 Resistance took control of my general stomping grounds around...

Report Two from my first dedicated mission into Minneapolis. Yesterday evening I was fortunate enough to catch The Book of Mormon at the Orpheum and on my way there I scoped out a few areas that looked weak enough that I might be able to destroy a resonator or two. I ended up walking for...

Thanks to the invite I have been trying this game out over the past day or so. It is intriguing but is better suited for climates that are not winter in Minnesota. This will be a blast in the spring / summer and hopping on a bike in the metro area. I joined the Enlightened as they seem to...

I would take an invite. Thanks

I started on this path around 1 - 2 months ago with the same goal. Though I have a much different body type 5'9" 280 lbs so results may vary. Starting from funny t-shirts and jeans to 'grown up' apparel was the goal. I would agree with attempting the layering, nice sweaters that you can wear...

I am a sucker for charge scenes.

Up and running again. General lurker on FoH for nearly a decade.
