There was a few. I think MEPEH was down in OC, then he closed up shop... later a college kid started doing it, Red Baron I think his name was... now who knows

There was someone in Florida that bought all of Mepeh’s equipment, and the disappeared. But the Baron guy is still active, he’s doing online college classes and working so if you really want a set he sells actively on eBay

Decided last sat to go on a major diet. Cut out sugar and am only taking in 1000-1500 calories a day. And am burning 3-4000 a day. Dropped 6 pounds this week. And Im feeling great. Goal is 30 pounds by my cali trip march 1st. I don’t wanna be the only fat guy in california lol. 30 pounds would have me at 170 which is right about were i need to be for a guy my height. Want to get down to 160 by end of summer 2019.

Ya, me too.
I'm kinda disappointed with myself lately. I've always been 150 but recently I noticed my 28 waist pants are fitting a little too snug. I've started a new job in the past 4 months, so the comfort foods have all made their way to me. At first I thought it was 'cause my GF might have changed up the laundry detergent/shrunk my pants in the dryer, but no dice. I've changed up my diet slightly (no more 1 beer per week) and go to the gym at 6am-7am, 4 days per week focusing on mostly weights with a bit of cardio. I also started implementing my "eat a small meal once every 3 hours". Honestly I think it's making the biggest difference (even more than the gym and my weekly bottle of beer).

Starting from 6th grade up until I graduated HS, I had a falling dream that started with me taking a step of a cliff and waking up to actually hitting the ground and just laying there unsure if I died in the dream or in real life. It was a state of limbo.

Im a lucid dreamer and I can usually figure out Im in a dream and change it up, but that reoccurring and progressive dream was uncontrollable. Laying there not knowing when Ill wake up from the dream was really scary, thought I actually died in my sleep a few times because of how long I was laying there 'motionless'. Whats even worse was I vividly remember it as changing from first person to 3rd person constantly. Kinda like the dream was reminding me, your dead in here bud, check it out!

I haven't had it in over 10 years but yea. Feel like if it happens again it probably means I died in my sleep in rl.

Yeah, usually my falling dream consists of me falling face first from the second floor to the first floor in the foyer of my house. I immediately know I'm dreaming, but I can't do anything about it and I shake myself awake real bad. In normal dreams I know I'm dreaming, but usually I'm just along for the ride. It's like a bad movie in 4D. Those are the only dreams I have really. It's one of those things that I'm interested to learn more about, but I don't have the energy or time to do the research/find the factual information.

On the subject of weight loss, I can attest to the dieting/food intake management being more effective. I rowed D1 in college before I transferred to where I am now, and even at that level of physical activity managing the intake of food was more effective to lose weight.
Don't forget that weight on it's own doesn't really have much significance. Height and general body type are also important factors to consider.

Speaking of me being a fatty...
Went to the city owned gym yesterday...apparently they weren't open till 8am...I got there at 7am. So I went home and walked around the park, it was actually pretty nice, mid 60s.

This morning, went and did the treadmill for like 30 mins and then did 10 reps of the upper body machines...I'm pretty much a beast right now...

I'm right there with you fellas...headed to dad-bod status quickly, especially after the holiday eating and drinking.

My plan for this week is to buy a new pair of running shoes and find a 10k in the spring to make my target. The first and last time I ran a 10K as an adult (4yrs ago), I managed 6 miles in the 7:05 - 7:30 range. My goal is to run a sub-7 minute mile 10K in the spring....or I'll just forget about this and keep getting fat.

[Reichart12]

Wow sub 7min miles for a 10k is quick. We have one around st pattys that I think I manage a 7:20 for last year. Can't do much quicker than that.

It's very ambitious considering I haven't run in years (with any regularity). My family is comprised of good running genes (my little sister is a collegiate all american in the indoor 10k as well as cross country), so I'm going for it. Realistically, I expect to be in the 7:20 - 7:45 range.

[mrsleeve]

my knee would explode if i tried to run .2 K right now.... it sometimes nearly puts me down to walk 2 steps lately

Nonsense thread, nice concept. People can post here anything they want.

Fantastic observation.

Just work on cadence. That’ll get you to your mark quicker. I’ve been focusing on that more recently, and it’s been helping with my longer runs and getting the pace down.

What I do is listen to a long drum n bass mix podcast. That gets me a constant 165-170 bpm, which you then just work on getting your foot strikes on one side to hit the beat. The elite runners are turning over about 180ish range. The speed will come, just get used to that cadence.. Remember the key to running is like racing: using smooth motions with as little effort as you can and relying on muscle memory.
