Author Topic: Are you "out" at work? -> OT Weight Loss Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-13-2008 03:57 PM                       Take solace in the fact that at least you're handsome guys. Then imagine how difficult it is to get ANYONE when you look like ME!  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-14-2008 03:09 AM                        Well, you're not fugly or anything, and I'm sure you can work your suave. So I don't really see any reason why you'd have any problems. Me on the other hand, skinny is only attracive to other guys it seems. Chicks generally run for the hills when they see ol' Jack the Pumkin King (that'd be me) come around. But, I simply can't gain weight, so what can ya do.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-14-2008 11:02 AM                       You're funny, Charles. Thanks, guy. We have the same problem... only at opposite ends of the spectrum. I can't get RID of the weight. I can easily drop 40-50 lbs. it seems; stall out, get discouraged, and can't keep it off. I'd love to try it from your point, though. You would have a great place to start in frequenting a gym and begin a bodybuilding regimen. You'd bulk up... in muscle - if that's what you want. And the great part about that is, you can perfectly tailor your training to give you the results you want.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-14-2008 07:15 PM                        Nope. Working out simply gets me ehausted with no gain, even over a long term period. My Body simply will not add any mass, whether muscle, or fat. Protien shakes, different diets, opposite diets, just about every trick known to mand just frustrates me, costs money, and sometime only causes me to lose weight. Had a thyroid test, turned up fine. I consume over 6000 calories a day, and can't gain a pound over 135. I'm not on buspar, since the Dr. hoped it was just anxiety. Guess what, I'm losing weight on that. So there's something seriously wrong, and so far no answers. And really this is the wrong thread for all of this, so may need to move itif this discussion continues any further.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-14-2008 08:13 PM                     Tim, Don't get discouraged but also don't lose weight the way I did. My method involved developing an allergy to both gluten and anything dairy. In a short time I went from 160 down to 130 and it took me quite a while to get back up to 140 or so. I simply lost by having to eat less. Plus I tend to have a fast metabolism anyway. And there are girls who like skinny guys. Though some guys claim that looks aren't as important to girls as we think (I doubt ugly guys are the ones claiming this so I feel your pain first-hand ha).  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-14-2008 11:06 PM                       Thanks, Chris. My weight is started to piss me off again, and that's usually what it takes to get me going. Charles, if you're working out to exhaustion you're not doing it properly. Form is critical. Nothing in the gym should get you winded. The guys you see straining, screaming, and throwing weights around are watching too much TV. Follow the Master Blaster's principles and you can't miss. Arnold also has an excellent how-to and reference manual. You might just be a slow-gainer, but if you continue to stress your muscles, they WILL grow.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-14-2008 11:11 PM                        You took exhaustion too literally. Though work outs do make you tired. And what I was saying is I can work out as reccommended, and just get tired constantly with no gain from it.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-15-2008 12:45 AM                     If the workout thing is that big a deal for you I'm sure there are plenty of personal trainers around who could give you a plan that'll get you your goals specifically geared for your type and metabolism. Though of course go with a certified trainer; otherwise, you might end up with someone who gives you bad information or techniques. Tim, There's always the "old school" option. Pill #1 = tapeworm. Pill #2 = tapeworm killer. You'll loose weight guaranteed.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-15-2008 02:52 AM                     Tapeworm diet  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-15-2008 05:45 AM                        Ok, I've tried to steer this discussion back towards its intended topic. Mocking a problem I have by posting information on urban myths discussing parasites used in weight loss schemes seems hardly productive or mature, not to mention further carrying this thread off topic.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-15-2008 10:31 AM                     How was I mocking you? Tim said that he couldn't lose weight and that it was a bit of a problem for him. I then joked that he could use a tapeworm. And I thought it was pretty clear that I was, in fact, trying to help by the fact that I gave you advice for seeking out a personal trainer for your workout problem.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-15-2008 11:19 AM                        Heh, late nite + fatigue = Missed the "Tim" in your message. Yeah, tapeworms are bad. Had a couple of animals turn out with them. I'm afraid thay'll only make you want to scoot your butt on the floor.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-15-2008 11:37 AM                     btw if your dog is scooting its butt on the floor that doesn't necessarily mean it has worms. It could just be trying to break open some anal sacs that are used to mark territory (since in many breeds those sacs get big and won't break open when the dog craps outside as nature had intended). But yes a tapeworm would cause the same action.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-15-2008 11:45 AM                        Yeah, I know about those sacs, the vet was telling us about them during last visit. I was just trying to avoid getting to graphical. :-p  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-15-2008 12:21 PM                     And now it's really off-topic. Perhaps it's time for me to leave and let the people who are actually gay/bi discuss what it's like to "come out" to their coworkers. And to put it in perspective for you Charles: People react oddly to lots of stuff; it has little to do with you. Heck, a coworker looked at me oddly when all I did was bring some carrots and an apple to work. Apparently, eating healthy and liking apples/carrots is weird.  |  IP: Logged
