Warwagon what is your daily diet looking like.

Example being.

1)morning...

2 scoops of whey protein/ waxy maize or

8 egg whites and 1 cup of oatmeal

2)chicken breast

3/4 cup brown rice

veggies

3)tuna

whole wheat crackers or brown rice

veggies

4)pre workout about 1 hour prior to

chicken breast

1 cup brown rice

5)post workout

2 scoops whey and waxy maize for carbs

6) fish or chicken breast

brown rice

veggies

7) bed time meal

cottage cheese 1 cup

Also listing gram size per meal help's. If you cut your calorie levels too low it will end up damaging your self.

Something I've learned in my recent efforts to lose weight. Many people are the type that don't have the willpower to diet AND exercise, so DON'T DIET. Not in the way that people would CALL a diet anyway. Make some changes yes, but not drastic ones.. The best change you can make is portion size. I no longer use a full size plate for my meals. Instead I use a "side plate", one you'd normally put a sandwhich on.

This helps greatly with controlling portion sizes so that your body isn't dealing with a large number of calories in one go. It won't take long for your body to adjust to the smaller portions, and you can help the hunger pangs by snacking a couple of times a day on healthy options. Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, a little fruit (not too much! Natural sugar is STILL sugar!), tomatoes (yes, I know they're fruit), that sort of thing.

Dieting is a mugs game. Most people who do it fail miserably as they hit a target weight and go back to normal eating; and on go the pounds again.

Add regular exercise to a reduced portion diet, and weight WILL come off. 4 weeks ago a pair of 46" waist trousers were a snug but comfy fit. I can now pull those same trousers on or off without undoing them, and need a belt. Not QUITE down to a 44" yet, but I reckon another week or 2 and I will be.

Oh, and GO SWIMMING if you can. Trust me. ;) I hadn't been in 25 years and had never swum more than a single width of a pool in my life, I took my son on Saturday and did 3 lengths. 2 on my back, but it's still 3 lengths! I also had a hell of a lot of fun with my boy (he's 9), and HE had a load of fun too! Was a great bonding experience that I'm going to do regularly from now on. :)

That's pretty amazing, man. I had no idea one could lose that much weight just from an exercise bike... I actually like using those things. Maybe I should invest in one, or get a free one off craigslist...haha.

Are you going at a steady average pace, or is it pretty intense?

Wow all of that weight outta exercising in a workout bike? Just comes to show you just need a little effort and will power and you'll go a long way!

Congradz Warwagon, remember to keep exercising not just for losing weight, but to be healthy/in good shape as well! Cheers! :jump: :jump: :jump: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

#2 speed.

Thanks. On all of the ones I've tried, they don't even have options to change the speed. It's kinda like they're on gear 5, but once you get going it basically pedals itself thanks to some fan / gyro thing. Which I suppose doesn't really help the person trying to lose weight, haha.

This one is digital. Takes 4 fracking D batteries. Though I've only had to replace them Once sense I bought the thing which has been over a year.

Congrats mate - how do you feel now? Like in terms of confidence or anything like that? Have you seen a change in your mood and fitness levels?

Well, I take less naps. Not really helping my social anxiety (or what I classify as that), but that's a whole other problem entirely, heh

Look into Phenibut. I use SNS Phenibut XT a few times a week. Helps my mood and has a nice calming effect which is good for people with social anxiety. Dose it at 500mg to 1g to start and it should kick in within an hour or two. 5-HTP also helps some people, but I find Phenibut to work better or use both.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
