Hullo. What's happening folks?

I've got a problem with overeating lately. My work is increasingly stressful and I find myself snacking throughout the day (normally I'm not a snacker).

Anyone else have an overeating issue? Usually drinking lots of water helps with this, but lately, I'm leaning towards food and disregarding the water.

I'm gonna get fat.

I think it's safe to say we all have overeating issues. We haven't been posting in this thread trying to lose weight on various occasions for no reason




This thread is dying mang...


Requesting some flex Friday pics to spice things up. Who's in?

[caprica6]

Woot. Looking good, MissJ! I like those roof lines, and I think I see one of your boys in the pic? i did mine already! Wednesday flex but it's all I've got. Shameless bump. I had told EJnar that I would try to mimic his pic.

yerp. the pic on the top, far right is most like yours. i realized while taking pics that i could take some for comparison against other pics of me at 116 and 126. i couldn't remember how i had posed, exactly. all the quad/calf pics are me hoping i hit at least one pose correctly. :P ...i just found the older pics and the light might be too different.





i love this song. i don't know what i'll serenade the thread with next but this is one of my choices.

You've great leg shape cap, good calves and hams. All the training agrees with you. Tis about time for a genetics debate in greytown You got hit with the "good calves" stick at the factory.

Upper right would make a great avi fosho.

Thanks Ejnar! ...Interesting. the skirt makes it look like I have that leg shape all the way up but they get fuller.

Can you take it to regmisc? (Notsrs) They're always talking about chitty Indgenetics



I'm doing some stress snacking right now, Muzziechik. Not as bad as it was in the past, tho.

My original post got deleted when I accidentally went 'back' in the browser... had quoted you saying I have to agree with Ejnar, them legs look great and have a nice shape! You always have some kind of cute dress / skirt on <3

And yep, that's one of my crazy boys in the background.

Oh, I meant to ask, pls tell the story behind how you discovered your stalker is tone deaf lol.

LOL thank you for the compliments that's a $10 tennis skirt! I'm dictating this into Siri and I can't see your post right now. Gah I hate typing so much. i wonder if there's something I can use to dictate into my laptop.

Anyway yeah so the guy from the other night first saw me when I was out using the Wi-Fi at one of those swanky McDs. I had my headphones on and he was calling out to me repeatedly - hello hello or something I'm not sure, exactly and he was being really loud and finally I turned when I realized he was addressing me. I took off my headphones and he acted like, oh I don't know, like I was the rude one. I said a stern, unsmiling hello back, put my headphones back on and looked back at my screen. About ten minutes later he says, "Excuse me would you mind if I joined you?" The whole place was almost empty at that point and it was quite late. No mixed signals, no smiles, I said, " yes, I would mind." Luckily he complied with my wishes.

When he saw me again he asked repeatedly if I recognized him from that night - i asked if I could sit next to you. The way I read the situation that first night, I felt like I would entice himf I looked at him a second too long so I didn't get a really good look at him. I worried that he'd think we were connecting, or something, so I still don't have a clear idea of what he looks like and I might see him again since it seems like he's from this area. It was weird. He had this look on his face like he was speaking to a disobedient child.

I might need to vent to you about some personal stuff. If I can I'll do that via pm later.

Not bad, not bad. Half of this was posted via Siri but I had to go back in and add punctuation.






Ah! I just did the same thing and deleted my post. Thank goodness it was in my cache.

Starting tomorrow ? Pfft I've been on my cutting diet since I got back from Poland. Dunno what you slackers are doing though.

In on mirrin Cap's legs club.


Been slacking on pics, but some from the start of March. But it's biceps n stuff, ignore the cheesy tank (Rita got that for me).







Btw MLJ, don't remember if I called you out on it or not, but I hate you for pointing out the arms touching lats thing. Incredibly self conscious about that now and it's annoying!

Shush. And you were posting cookies while the rest of us were hardcore dieting. So VVateve @ the slackers.

Going way better than expected, my waist has shrunk rapidly gone down to the second last hole on the lifting belt. Still got mah lovehandles though as they seem to have taken the biggest impact on the latest bulk.
Fat distribution on this bulk has actually been different from the other ones, gained way more lower-midsection fat and "deeper" subcutaneous and visceral fat than before. Top layer has been fairly lean all the way throughout the bulk.

But hey not gonna complain, bicep veins are back (few new ones too), lower abdomen veins, quad and glute veins etc. not "popping" yet but pretty visible.

Figure 2-3 more weeks and then ill have to start making the deficit smaller to avoid strength/muscle loss.

[matman1813]

Matman share in these feels with me, somebody finally hit me.
Feelsbadman.jpg

Theres was a cop nearby who saw. Asked if I wanted to exchange information or file a report. He said he wasn't allowed to consult me. I filled a report in the end.

[matman1813]

Managed to unsub from the thread w/o realizing once again

Came in looking for Budapest pics...left disappointed

You asked for it... wall'o'pictures coming up.

View across chain bridge to Buda, taken from the funicular railway on the Pest side and ruined by the stupid tree in the foreground.


Inside Szimpla, a bar that opened up in a building that is pretty much a ruin. It hasn't been fixed up, just decorated with random stuff, people are also encouraged to put whatever they like on the walls, including writing.


The view down the Danube from near Liberty Statue at the top of Gellért Hill. At the bottom of the hill is the Gellért Hotel, from which the makers of The Grand Budapest Hotel took inspiration.


Inside Cafe New York, it's on the bottom floor of a hotel and incredibly grand inside, it was opened in the late 1800s and is largely unchanged.


One of the many bath houses there, one of few where don't segregate genders though


View of Parliament at night from on the river.

[matman1813]

Part 2.

Shoes on the Danube. This is a monument to the Jews that were killed there by the Arrow Cross Party (basically the Hungarian Nazi Party). They were taken out to the river, ordered to take off their shoes and face the water before they shot them and let the river wash the bodies away. Oh and you can see the Royal Palace in the background.


Some street are there, this one dedicated to Mr Rubik, inventor of the Rubik's Cube. There are lots of pieces there, you can actually see the edge of another one at the left side of this picture, but that one is about when Hungary beat England 6-3 at football, so we'll just ignore it.


Inside the huge indoor market.


Some Gelato from a shop near St. Stephen's Basilica, the rose look is pretty impressive, but I was more impressed by the taste. Definitely some of the best gelato I've ever had.


St. Stephen's Basilica itself. Pointless fact, this building and parliament were built to be the same height to show that spiritual and worldly thinking are equal, and no new building is allowed to be built taller than them.


Entirely unrelated to Budapest, I took my bike for a ride to Horseshoe Pass (Wales) a few days ago, nothing to rival Nordic Fjords but the views aren't bad at all.

[caprica6]

i like your pic selection, Matman. even the interior views look expansive. and i appreciate your taking the time to give us captions.

thanks, Znik. and thanks for your bad gurl scolding also.

idk. something about that first photo... i liked seeing that slogan on you. it looks like your arms suddenly grew 30% on this last bulk? i need to go look at older pics. (and where has Znik's smile gone to?!)

And some fatceps for flex Friday.

you look like you're doing pretty well, actually!

Lookin' good all. And I'm in too. Pics tonight flexing on the arms..I need to bulk :-/ Also where have MrM and Barb gone?

The are blown up right now after 2 days of setting pavers, tons of carbs, milk, V-8, water and bananas. Ex-fattie technology at work.

They will be pencils again in a week. It was fun being "big" again for 2 weeks.

[caprica6]

out in the sunshine
the sun is mine
the sun is mine

i shot my love today
would you cry for me

i lost my head again
would you lie for me

they're playing this where i am. brings me back. i saw them in concert. i've seen Chris Cornell solo also.



(they also played this - Rihanna. i don't think i've heard this song before. i hope i picked the right video for it. they're closed here. ttyl)

tell the story

every time i share my obesity story out here i start it with some variation of - i cut ties with all my friends.

one of those friends and i, we randomly bumped into each other yesterday. we sat together and caught up for a few hours and we might get together again before i head south... and i finally checked a certain email account and one of my closest friends from first grade through high school had written to me. i might be able to see her before i leave.

[Znik]

Awesome pics Mat, Budapest looks really nice gotta visit that place sometime.

thanks, Znik. and thanks for your bad gurl scolding also.

Arms are actually smaller than my last bulk, but I gained less fat on them this bulk I think so probably gained more mass and less fat so they look bigger.
Was the Znik smile ever present ?

Give me another week or three and ill supply you with a stream of pretty pics as I get shredded

[Znik]

Made a summer shred progress thread here : http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=167135911
Gonna update that every 3-4 weeks until the summer shred is done.

For the lazy people, 3 weeks progress (14lbs down) :

[MuzzieChik786]

Have fun at the competitions, what type of competitions are you attending ?

Went to watch some people do tricks in Crossfit. My gym placed 10th in the region.

LMAO baked goods it is next week. Oatmeal crasin / chocy chip cookies and some pumpkin bread.

Shush. =(

I have completly stopped snacking!
But i still end up drinking like 3 beers at night.

Beer is cheating too. Chocolate>Beer (yuck).

thank you for the scolding! i needed that. you hit 15%?

i held the skirt like that to smooth out its wrinkles.

I hit 15% back in February when I did the test. Now I'm probably 18% or so. I plan to get back down to 15% or lower by my bday in mid-June. =)

You did pavers too this weekend?! I did too. They're not complete yet, but I'll take a pic once I'm done. It's quite the task for a single girl like me. They won't be perfect, but they'll be done by me, myself and I.

I got the ground ready and covered in weed block this weekend. Placed a few pavers to hold everything down. I'm going to spend this week laying down a few at a time as time allows in the evenings.

Ps: I'm back on with the mindful eating habits.

Made avocado deviled eggs this morning.

Matman - that's gelato pic! How pretty! All the others are pretty nice too.

Muzzie count me on board too. Just started Sunday on my new cut, this time it’s a flexible one 

Kewl!

What does your cut entail? Are you tracking calories and macros?

I'm not so rigid on mine anymore. I'm not tracking anything, just eating low-carb, healthy stuff with lots of greens and meats. Trying to keep my strength up.

[Znik]

Sounds like fun Muzzie, how many gyms(pr people) were in the competition ?

[MuzzieChik786]

About 110 folks. The placement is a compilation of many competitions. Thus far we're at 10th place. We've got some strong people in our gym.

Btw, my sister told me to steam the lamb leg instead of roasting it in the oven. How was the one you had cooked? Roasted? I'm thinking of tackling that cooking project next weekend.

Guess we sort of do a mix of both, lamb leg in a oven tray with water, slow roasting at low heat.

Typically what we do is make small cuts(pockets) in the leg and fill those with garlic and rosemary. Rub the whole thing with salt and pepper.
Place it in a oven tray with water, approx 1 liter (or a melted butter/water mix if calories aint a issue) carrots, onion, celery. I like to coat the leg from time to time with the liquid while it's cooking, but most people don't.

The leftover liquid is awesome to use for the sauce, we usually serve lamb leg with red wine sauce.
