Great story and great progress!

This is from 2006 and you kept the weight off since then? Would you recommend buying a stationary bike? I'm in the market for one and was googling around for success stories.

2009 .. ya stationary bike works great, just put it in front of a TV when you want to ride it!

Stationary bikes are great to get some exercise in general. I'm sat in an office for 40 hours a week at work, so I always try do 10k a day on the bike each evening, I feel much better after that.

Yes that was an oddly great photo! :)

So you decided not to keep the beard?

 

I cannot ever grow one - I have millimeters of gaps between hairs and they are not really even at all - and now they are half grey ... But if I was you I would keep the beard for sure.

Got really scraggily, and started to itch. That beard you saw took about 15 day to grow out, so it doesn't take long to grow another one.

Yeah it takes time to get used to one when you never had one for long 

 

I was travelling for 4 weeks  and did not bother shaving as there was only 2 of us with my brother and we focused on surviving not looks. But it did get annoyingly itchy (and when I was finally back in civilization and saw myself I realized I can never grow it out - ever.

 

In 4 weeks it was about same lengths as your 2 weeks and about 1/4 of the hair (maybe even less then 1/4th)

I couldn't imagine why lol 🤣

What am I missing?

 

Btw I am your age and I basically half grey haired everywhere.

 

My brother is 50 and he has almost no grey hair at all.  Guess my wild youth and all the raves did affect me a bit 😳 

 

Then again it might just be the stress I was putting myself on the job for the last 5 years and the lost sleep - I did quit that job with the boss who did whatever he wanted while I signed the docs... Never again.

 

 

Now I really don't want the stationery bike but I do have a home weight rack and free weights and vibration plate - but no TV there and it is super hard to train alone.

 

I lost 5 kg in 1 month in Mexico - walking hills and swimming waves.... But back home - gained it back in 2 weeks...

 

Trying to change my damn diet.... Or move close to the ocean if I can figure out how to do it and make a living.

    • 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
