    Well 2012 was such an awesome time I swore to myself I would make it an annual tradition. But when booking time for 2013 rolled around I wasn't able to draft anyone from my groups in Seattle or Portland to travel with me, and so chickened out. Then I was in a relationship that progressively extracted most of my money and energy. Now that I'm out of that crap, I decided to jump in the deep end and not care if I knew closely was going.

    From what I can tell, only an acquaintance I don't know too well from the Seattle scene is going this year out of everyone I know in Portland and Seattle metal. I think this will be a good challenge for me to will myself into having a good time, challenges or not, and meet new peoples. My hetero-lifemate is really jealous, so I plan to enroll him into my party next year when his financial situation is improved.

    I know two from Portland going. Welcome back! :beerwink:

    My random rejoicing is very small. I have been trying to find Halo Top ice cream for a few weeks, I finally did and it was amazing. Was being correct because I ate the pint. :lol:

    I've heard great things about Halo Top from my friends, I'll have to try some if I get the chance. Congrats on your success in weight loss!

    Yesterday I weighed in 3 lbs down from my recent high. Gotta eat harder! I have a big thing of steak and potatoes for lunch today, plus spinach salad. It might seem silly, but adding weight and keeping it on is a struggle for people who are naturally skinny.

    I'm rejoicing because...

    GNOFF FRIENDED ME ON FACEBOOK!!! :heavydrink: :heavydrink:

    Oh, and I'm also rejoicing because there is a big Information Technology security conference being held in San Francisco the week after 70k 2017, and it is looking very likely that work will let me attend and cover the associated costs!!

    So if it all works out - fly over for the cruise, spend a week after the cruise in the US, spend another week in San Fran for the conference, fly home and work will cover the costs of my time in San Fran and the flights to the US and back!!!!!!

    Update on my recent bitching regarding our flights to Miami. Finally got our money back from the travel agency for the cancelled reservation (due to Virgin Atlantic changing their schedules so we couldn't make it to our connecting flight). So, while that kinda sucks, I'm happy because Finnair has a campaign for direct flights to Miami. 550 euros per person, which is dirt cheap when they normally go for closer to 800 euros.

    I looked up the price the day before and it was 550 euros per person, and when I went to book them I noticed the price had dropped to 450 euros. So I got the flights for the cheaper price. Hence this thread. :beerwink:

    Today I walked in and fixed a broken monitoring system that an old coworker had borked in less than ten minutes. Feels good :)

    Also I've officially lost 5 lbs since thanksgiving! :D

    You'll definitely have an easier time with fat loss (as opposed to weight loss) if you start the weight training masterbas. You'll do better from changing body composition first rather than dropping a lot of weight. Explanation below, pasted something out of a manual I wrote for a hospital's weight loss program. No context, so hopefully it makes sense:

    Now here’s the part where it gets tricky. What do you think happens to the resting metabolic rate when a person who is overweight loses some of that weight? It makes sense that it would decrease, as there is less body mass to maintain, but research shows that the decrease in resting metabolic rate is disproportionately high to the amount of weight loss. If a person who is overweight decreases their weight by 10%, their resting metabolic rate can slow by an average of 4 calories per kilogram of body weight per dayiii.

    This means that if a 270 lb person drops weight to 243 lb (a 10% reduction) their resting metabolic rate may drop from 2175 calories to 1734 calories per day (a 20% reduction). This is a fundamental concept that we will continually revisit: as you become more active and lose weight, your body will require fewer calories than it once did. This phenomenon is called metabolic adaptation.

    Now here’s where it gets interesting. We know now that metabolic adaptation is exaggerated when a very large amount of weight is lost in a very short amount of time. A study published in 2016 followed 14 former contestants on The Biggest Loser. In the 30 week competition, they started at a weight of 327 ± 89.1 lbs, and lost 126 ± 54.78 lbsiv.

    With a 6 year follow-up, all but one subject regained some of the weight lost during the competition and five subjects were within 1% of their pre-competition weight or above. However, their resting metabolic rate was 704 ± 427 calories per day below the pre-competition level. So even though the contestants lost fat mass and gained lean body mass, the rate at which they lost that significant amount of weight had a long-term effect on their resting metabolic rate. They were nearly back to square one, but with a significantly increased resistance to weight loss. How successful do you think you would be if you woke up one day at your current weight and found out your body suddenly hung on to an extra 1000 calories each day? Not very!

    We can safely say that the 4+ lbs per week of the Biggest Loser competitors was too fast of a weight loss rate, but what rate is ideal? This area is in need of further research, but an 8 year study showed that losing 6% body weight in 2 months is not extreme enough to trigger the same metabolic defense as seen in The Biggest Loser contestantsv.

    .

    (I won't quote the whole thing or the page will get long as hell hehe).

    I see what you're saying and I totally agree. I wouldn't even have started this diet it wasn't for knowing a bunch of ppl that did it a few years ago and never gained it back. I was totally against diets before always saying that exercice and eating better was the way to go and for a while it worked perfectly for me. In 2010 I weighted 250, I started doing a LOT of exercice, roller blading, eliptical, weight lifting. I went from 250 to ~200 between 2010 and 2015, which was fine and I felt good, but I still had a lot of abdominal fat. Which was what I decided to lose in August.

    So I talked with one of my friends that did the Diet (http://www.idealprotein.com/) and she explained what it was exactly, a protein diet to help you keep your muscle mass but eat away the fat stored in your body. I met the representative of the program and everything made sense. I kept my daily exercice routine, so everything about my day is the same as it was before. I basicaly just eat better and less than I used too. A lot less sugar.

    Obviously I can't just go back to what I was doing before as far as food goes, but thats one other good thing about this program, it teaches you what to look for in the food you buy. I'd say I was already half the way there before I started, it just gave me the push I needed to help me over that fence and I don't have any craving for fast food right now even after 3 months of doing this. So I call it a win :).

    Time will tell, but looking at my friend that did that, in 3 years she gained about 5 lbs on the 50 she lost over that time, and it was a needed 5lbs because she got too skinny lol.

    I'm looking at 160 next week and I look and feel better than ever, my exercice routine got so much easier as I'm lifting less weigth when I do pushups or chinups. Roller blading, I'm beating all my previous records and I also coach hockey, skating on the ice is so much easier.

    Oh and I look much better in my swimsuit hehehe.

    I'm going with Spirit also, got an amazing price, 336$ for both my wife and I round trip from Platsburg. Only an hour drive from Montreal. So that 1 hour drive saves me about 400$ as opposed to getting the flight in Mtl

    They are awesome! I have flown this route the past 2 years and have had no issues with them. 2 years ago both of my flights (from and back to Houston) were with Helstar! Each year I have run into cruisers at the airport.

    I'm going with Spirit also, got an amazing price, 336$ for both my wife and I round trip from Platsburg. Only an hour drive from Montreal. So that 1 hour drive saves me about 400$ as opposed to getting the flight in Mtl

    All the cruisers I've met so far are from Montreal since this will be my first cruise. So I'm not expecting to meet cruisers at the airport. Or at least not anyone I'd recognize lol.
