Saukrates: Summer Cut 2012 (No Care, No Enter)

Size 10 isn't fat... o.O

i know. i just feel gross.

my fiance actually loves the shit out of my being size 10. but i personally feel gross ;(

 

[Venetia]

It's not like you're going to have hollow bones like a bird.

Challenge accepted!

Call me back in 10 years when all my bone marrow is gone and I'll be able to break my bones by knocking into stuff like doors and such...

Thanks epilepsy, you're the best! :thumb:

:sad:

Yup, according to my doctor I'll eventually need a bone marrow transplant, but before that I'll need donors... got any spare marrow?

... Actually, how the fuck do you donate marrow?! Let someone drill into your bones and just... take it?

 

[Venetia]

They put the donor under anesthesia, then doctors drill a tiny hole into the back of their pelvis, and extract marrow using a long, wide needle.

Takes about a month to recover from. Not painful WHILE they're doing it, but excruciating afterwards. I knew someone in school who did it for their aunt or someone. Docs say that the area should just be sort of sore for a while, but the chick I knew was literally laid up with pain for weeks.

Healthy donors will regenerate the marrow naturally within a month or so though so there's no risk involved with donating other than just the month of pain.

 

[Jason]

I doubt people would want to go through that for me... unless they're just random good hearted people that like to donate for fun or something...

 

[Venetia]

Don't tell 'em about the pain ... Just tell em that they can potentially earn $3000 for doing something out of the kindness of their heart, which will have no longterm affects for them!

I think it's illegal to sell body parts here, you can't even be rewarded for giving blood

 

[Ellie]

also I can't give blood OR bone marrow because I've been to a gender councillor
...

:toot:

 

[Jason]

... What?

 

[Ellie]

Actually it looks like they very recently changed their policy to remove mention of gender councilling and all that jazz. Now it only mentions "men who have sex with men".

This thread is going in an opposite direction than what I had intended it to be in.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

okay, i don't want to derail this thread, but

My metabolism UTTERLY CRASHED AND BURNED when I went without my narcolepsy meds between september and february. I gained 25lbs. Went up to size 10 pants ulghghgh

I'm getting back on the dieting/exercising wagon now, myself. Super bummer that it's back to 95 degrees/100% humidity out. And that our exercise equipment is in the garage ... (Need to move it back in but my fiance is not thrilled about moving it inside the house)

Anyway Sauk, looks like I'm joining forces with you on your summer cutting regimen! (except for me it's more ... wanting to be less of a fat fuck. i miss my size 6 sexypants D; D; D

what the hell is wrong with you? western culture places so much emphasis on conforming to what the mass media considers "sexy" that so help me god if you're a s-s-size 10, you must be a fat, ugly monster who should never leave the house. I support anyone that wants to lose weight and get their bodies in shape so this thread is pretty awesome but I'm honestly appalled that anyone could think a size 10 is fat.

venetia ilu but if you're a size 10 and you think you're a fat fuck you have some strange issues with body image!!

listen to your boyfriend, he knows what he's talking about :fap:

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Thanks for your reply Venetia I was totally imagining you with your hands grabbing your face screaming "WHYYYY!?". I'm 5ft8, my weight stays around 8st5lbs to 9st. Heaviest I've ever been was when I broke up with my ex a few years ago, hit 10st2lbs. I have a good metabolism, but my only downside is the smoking.

Keep up the good work Saukrates, would love to see daily pictures of your weight loss and where you can see it most. Or that's just my girlish side wanted to see some more abs. :|

that goes for you too!!

 

[Sauk]

Relax man ._.

That sounds retarded. You can't expect for random people to just give parts of themselves out of only kindness.

I mean yeah sure it's a nice thought that people would just do it to be kind, but not really realistic.

People need blood and organs and marrow and such. Why would no one incentivize it? By donating your blood or tissue, you are relieving a huge burden on the health care industry, and doing a community good. We pay police officers and folks who fix power lines; why not pay people who provide that which is most precious to them :/ (their own bodies)

Actually it looks like they very recently changed their policy to remove mention of gender councilling and all that jazz. Now it only mentions "men who have sex with men".

that is retarded b/c a.) how would they know and b.) why don't they test for STDs and c.) there are more STD-infected people who are hetero than not

venetia ilu but if you're a size 10 and you think you're a fat fuck you have some strange issues with body image!!

i know, i just personally feel fat at size 10. wanting to trim down is a personal thing, not really related to my worrying about what others think.
when i'm a size 6, i feel lighter. dresses fit me better. my knees ache less. i have more energy. when i sit down, my stomach's all awesomely flat. i get that nice pocket of space where my thighs don't touch when i have my legs together (i think it's neat ;x). my chin and jaw and that space under my chin are all slender and it makes my face look all sharp and cool (i have a really round face naturally so it's nice to have more definition).

i just get ... like a bazillion times more confidence, too.

if those aren't good reasons to want to weigh less, i don't know what are!

omfg! im taller then jbrist! my life is complete! BTW saukers thats what il call you from now on... this thread has inspired me to start biking everyday! but not till next pay day cause my bike is kinda broken and needs a new seat

Good job man! Stay safe in Winterpeg's climate, though.

So I've definitively lost somewhere between 1-3 pounds, but I'm sure it's gonna be offset with the eggrolls + other foods I'm gonna eat today, as well as the fact I've only run like twice in the last 48 hours.

Other than that, feels like it's working. Been almost a week since I started and the exercises are getting easier, although the running's hardness is more like spreading its pain-concentrate to other places than getting easier, per se.

oh dear x:

Glad to hear you're sticking to it though (excluding the diet). I'll be looking forward to seeing/hearing about the progress that all of you will make in the coming months.

Chest day is tomorrow, and since I'll be cooking all day tomorrow, I might as well do the update now. Now that this week is over, I know how much weight I need to do (and can accurately increase the weight). It's good to know where I stand as far as weight, since now I don't have to stress over burning myself out on one lift and being fucked for the rest. I plan on walking home on Monday as punishment for the pop and pizza I had this weekend (my buddy came over and I didn't want him to miss out on food because of my diet, however, I wasn't just going to buy for him), and vow never to touch that devil food again until August (when I bulk). I don't want to say that I see more definition already, however, it does appear that the separation between my chest is starting to become slightly more visible, as are the second row of my abdominal wall (this could just be a lighting effect, though). I haven't tanned in awhile, so I'm thinking aboot going tomorrow post-workout or something since bronze skin + low body fat = greater illusion of leanness and mass.

So today I walked/ran for around an hour thirty mins. Finals week, and today till wednes I'm free ,so I'm getting a ride to college, then making myself walk/run home. Not only that, today I walked to the Barnes and Nobles, and then home, making a 45 min walk twice as long. Sadly it's been forever since I SAT DOWN and READ a book, and craning my neck as such made it surprisingly painful on the way home. My new morning/afternoon run :P


so uh

I'm down to around 141 pounds (tht's 10 stone and 1 pound for you redcoats), 140 if I haven't ate. It hasn't been a week and I'm down 4 pounds. ....Cool?
