Rock on warwagon!

I lost over fifty pounds during the course of the past year.

I lost trouser sizes, but I can't get rid of that chin flab.

I'm a skinny man with a double-chin!

Although I'm 37, my body may be winding down at the point when I want to get it going again!

Ya double chins suck.

warwagon - Congrats man - That's some serious weight-loss.

Congrats also, on proving my theory that exercise bikes are the best way to lose weight. Long story short, I brought my first exercise bike, the start of last year, when I weighed in at 203lbs, by the end of September (almost a year ago) I'd dropped down to 136lbs, which was a result of healthy eating, and more importantly, using my exercise bike to the point where it stopped wearing me out, and I wore it out (I eventually broke it, and had to buy another one).

Oh - and keep taking pics, 'cause that way you can totally see the difference. From my own pov, I could tell I'd lost weight, because of the change in clothes size, but it wasn't until I looked at the following picture:

That I could truly see the weight I'd lost. That picture was taken for a staff card, and at that point I know I'd started to lose a little bit of weight. However, it was only when I took a picture with my webcam, that I noticed the difference

Anyways, that's enough of me thread hijacking - Congrats again man, and stick with it - You'll love the results.

Congrats on weight loss.

Now its time to bulk up.

congrats to everyone losing weight :)

I think I might move my exercise bike out. would be nice to be able to run for more then a minute (though I think a lot of that comes from my stupid asthma) MAYBE I WILL REGAIN MY CHIN TO!!!

I should find out how to use my laptop on my exercise bike. I will lose lots of weight then lol

I have asthma and flat feet bro. I still managed to build a pretty nice body if I may say so myself, it takes work.

glad to know :)

the only thing I hate about having asthma is I cant join the military :( . I wanted to go into the navy as an engineer maybe after I was out of high school

Just by cutting out coke, sweets, crisps and junk like chips and pizza etc I've so far lost 22lb. I don't do any exercise whatsoever, even the word bores me to tears. I bought a punchbag which I used for about 2 weeks and now it's just sat there slowly deflating :wacko: :laugh:

and that's in how long?

Yea its me. I was kinda fat, but not obese or anything as a kid, then I got really skinny (never like anorexic skinny tho), and after that lean bulked up for the most part.

5'10"

Today I found a picture of me from back in October 7th, 2008. weighing in at 213 lbs. The day after Xmas I saw some picture that were taken of me. I thought I looked nasty. So I made a V line to walmart and bought an exercise bike. Parked it in front of my TV and have been using it 20 mins a day ever since. Today i'm weighing in at 186 lbs. Went from a Size 38 / 40 down to 36.

So this is a before and after picture of what I looked like then and what I look like now. (on a side note the after picture was taken with my new refurbished Logitech Quickcam 9000 HD webcam)

Just cut back on the junk food, drink diet pop and exercise on an exercise bike at Level 2 20 minutes a day while watching TV.

I've went from 155 to 205. I am bulking though. Haha. Holding about 12% body fat.

I dont get why people continue to drink soda if theyre fat....

Empty calories and worse for you than good. Drink Coke Zero or something or Diet Dr. Pepper if youre "addicted" whatever that means.

I'm assuming you don't know that caffeine is a drug and is addictive.

Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions.

Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
