the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Scales are only stressful because you've told dickheaded people the numbers and they've used it to shame you.
Otherwise
it's a fucking number
grow up.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
but watching the number go down (which it is obviously doing) makes it like video games

just to be clear I'm not trying to ask or nothin
but I get your point aaaand alrighty then
I guess keep buying new pants and when they fall off you can feel good
They are basically giving these people a list of figures, with associated phone numbers, and telling them to call the latter and demand payment of the former. If you ask them a question they don't understand (read: any question), they instruct a firm of solicitors (which is in the UK) to pursue the money for them.
They cannot possibly be saving money by doing this.
Don't be rude.
hehehe
you don't have to talk to anyfuckingbody about it

what a rube 8-)
But it's bullshit. It's being afraid of a number.

are you still in boston
you are crazy
I know but it's still waaayyyy better than weight.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I totally need to do this to encourage myself to study.
increasing numbers
filling bars
Especially since, and I speak from personal experience, seeing that you've lost less weight than you presumed you would have due to your increase in energy or ability to exercise can be quite a demotivator.
I'm sure but I still think if you're working to lose weight and shit weighing yourself makes pretty good sense.
not ideal though I guess
Unless you're...
nope not gonna go there. too easy
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
because sweaty hairy boobs are easier?
I see your sweaty boobs* and raise you sweaty balls.
*(through your window, from the bushes outside)
You shouldn't be working to lose weight, you should be working to lose WHR.
paradigm shift!
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
No.
Instead of sweaty boobs we have to deal with ball sweat which is just as unpleasant.
Blue balls.
it's not the best, but it's super easy
no one is saying only ever use a scale
and, not progressing as far as you feel like you did can happen with any measurement. but if you feel good that should trump what any number tells you... unless it's because like you just ate a box of doughnuts and you're on a sugar high
I know it's only March but I think we can go ahead and declare this post of the year.
It has some creepy, some funny, and some education.
Amateur racing cyclists tend to become total stat obsessives, because there are so many things you can track numerically without a lot of equipment.
naw
see, will fed us a few cocktails yesterday afternoon so my train-time kind of snuck up on us, full of whiskey and rum as we were
halfway to our farewell dinner i realized (too late) i'd forgotten the borrowed cell phone, its charger, and my laptop charger at will's place
so he is mailing them to me
but i got home and went ":X sorry kind of lost track of time and rushed out, left your phone on accident, it'll be here in a few days"
but my laptop is dead without the charger so now i'm using her laptop
gonna lose this somewhere in the house 8-)
We have a button for that.
honestly, what's the difference?
drop some knowledge on me
I have fat on my body that I want to make go away. when that happens my weight drops.
I also lift weights a lot so I don't expect it to fall as fast and I look to other things to measure improvement, whr sounding like it's a great way to do this
but like, doesn't losing weight attribute to it?
I don't know man. Did you hear about seven? Dude is loco.

They're still boobs, it doesn't matter to us if they're sweaty.
That's like saying "don't eat that blueberry pie, the waiter's shoes and belt didn't match!"
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
This is the number one reason I can save money. I use Mint to track goals. And there's a bar associated with that. A lifetime of growing up on video games has given me this compulsion to FILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER UP. And when I do, I get a house.
There is lady parts sweat too.
So whatever, dwi (deal with it)
yeah those dudes can be pretty absolutist about this stuff. doing the ketogenic diet works, but it's not the only or necessarily even the best way to lose weight.
here's the thing: protein is the most filling thing you can eat for the least calories. your body also needs it for basic operation.
fat is second. it's calorie-dense and some kinds of it are bad for you in other ways, but it's pretty filling and often delicious.
carbs - especially simple carbs and sugars - are the worst. they often taste great and are the foundation for the diets that most of us grew up with, but if you're trying to lose weight they are not your friend. they have a ton of calories and in many cases actually make you hungrier because of the sharp insulin response.
your choice of meats looks basically fine. chicken breasts are really low-fat. salmon has some fat but it's generally omega-3 fat, which is apparently really healthy for you. whitefish and tuna are really good if you can make yourself eat it. lean hamburger (like 95% if you can stomach it) is high-protein and low-fat. bacon and sausage usually have a lot of fat, which is a consideration, but you just have to budget in the calories.
eggs are a good thing to eat. if you're trying to cut out fat you can just eat the whites, but i find that kind of gross, personally. the yolks won't kill you; just take note of the calories.
try to eat dark green veggies. spinach, kale, rapini, broccoli. they're all really healthy for you and taste great. cabbage-related veggies like cauliflower and brussell sprouts and broccoli are good for you. any kind of green is good for you.
a lot of root vegetables are really high in starch and you should probably limit them if you're trying to lose weight. potatoes are especially bad, but carrots are kind of starchy and so are, like, beets. celeriac is low in starch and a decent alternative to potatoes if you can find it. you can also use cauliflower to kind of scratch that potato itch.
basically, you want to get as much protein as you can, since it will fill you up and sate your hunger without loading up on calories. you want to limit carbs, starches and sugars as much as you can - especially refined, simple carbs - since they have tons of calories and will tend to make you hungrier faster. i'd try to keep your fat consumption under control, since it's easy to get too many fat calories, but it's probably better to eat 100 fat calories than 100 sugar calories.
I have never had anybody say that to me. Girls understand that their boobs are getting touched when boobs and my hands are in the same neighbourhood.
