If you’re still doing well on your glibfit task, you’re doing better than me! By now, it’s not a challenge, it’s a lifestyle for you. Congratulations! On the other hand, if you’ve been on and off about it, you may find it’s still a struggle for you. Either way, 3 weeks left, so push it hard and kick some ass!!
My go-to healthy dinner over this challenge has been chicken and vegetables. It’s not the most exciting food, but it’s practically no calories and you can do a lot with the empty palette that is chicken. Here are a few ways we’ve done chicken and vegetables over the past few weeks:
Chicken Stir Fry
- sliced chicken breast marinated in teriyaki sauce (we did beef one time)
- bell pepper (sliced)
- onion (rough chop)
- carrot (julienned or sliced)
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- Heat a light layer of (vegetable/olive/canola… doesn’t really matter for this recipe) oil on medium-high in a large and light pan (a wok, if available) until shimmering
- I like to stir fry on medium-high because things move a bit too fast when on full heat
- In a large bowl, add the vegetables and enough teriyaki sauce to coat the vegetables. Toss until the vegetables are coated.
- In the pan add a batch of vegetables and chicken.
- Don’t crowd the pan too much, the deliciousness comes from where the food touches the oil. It can’t touch the oil when it’s stacked 2 or 3 deep
- Stir the stir fry by tossing the food.
- I usually let the food warm up for 30 seconds to a minute before I start tossing.
- This is why it’s important to use a relatively light pan. Tossing with a heavy pan sucks.
- Repeat with the other batches.
Smoked Chicken Breast
- Chicken Breast
- Spices
- Charcoal kettle grill
- Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Spices (I didn’t write it down, so I’m guessing — any good chicken dry rub would work)
- Garlic powder – 1 tbsp
- Onion powder – 1 tbsp
- Kosher salt – 2 tbsp
- Cayenne – 1 tsp (add more for heat… or add red pepper flakes)
- Thyme – 2 tsp
- Black pepper – 1 tbsp
- DISCLAIMER: I used chicken breast because it was on hand. There are better cuts of chicken that could be used.
- Put the dry rub on the chicken and put it (uncovered) in the fridge.
- Pat the chicken dry and trim off excess fat and connective tissue before doing the dry rub
- Do this at least 2 hours before putting the chicken on the grill…. ideally 8+ hours before
- Fire up the grill in smoking mode
- Pile coals (I prefer lump charcoal) in one corner of the grill
- Add chunks of smoking wood… I used hickory
- Add a water pan either over the coals (on the top grate above the direct heating zone) or under the chicken (on the bottom grate in the indirect heating zone)
- Place chicken on indirect side of the grill
- Smoke for ~2 hours at 325-350
As for me, it’s been a few weeks of maintenance after a great start. I’m a bit frustrated, but I’ve had a bunch of changes at work, including a bunch of meals with law firms, resulting in my low carb goal being hit or miss. The physical activity goal is also hit or miss. I have a pair of treadmills coming in next week, so the excuses go away next Tuesday.
Anyway, I’m a bit grouchy because of the effect of these work changes.
Down 3.8 lb this week, for 60% of GlibFit goal and 27% of overall goal.
Great! Glad you got through your rough spot. Did you end up changing anything?
Doctor said to cut down on booze, so I’m giving up beer on school nights and wine completely.
Also, thanks for the encouragement.
I now have a weight of 140! It’s slowly going on. Ate one whole chicken for lunch today.
You’re half the man I am, Doom!
You guys do go for the jugular.
I’m trying to get under 190. I’m gonna jerk off until I make it.
*Randy Marsh gif here*
I was 136 this morning. At 5’7″ (if I’m being generous), this is right about where I want to be.
The problem is that I’m 6’3″…
<– 6’3″
Is your name Harold by any chance?
Jeez You are Thin, I’m in at 140,a 2 lb. gain in as many weeks at 5’10” I’m thin
Yusef, you’re thin. I had almost the same stats when I was in college and I knew I was very thin then. Doom is like from a different universe.
I’ve always been pretty skinny. It’s just those last few years where nothing added on as I grew the last few inches that really made it noticable
I was 6’2″ and 120 as a freshman in high school, 6’5″ 150 as a senior. It took a while for my metabolism to slow down enough to be able to gain weight. My stats as an adult leveled off at 6’6″ 185. As a senior citizen (well, 60+), I’m up to 200, and don’t eat nearly as much as I used to.
Not to derail all yall’s efforts, but tomorrow night for dinner, I am making pierogi poutine. IMHO, pierogies are a superior platform for delivering cheese curds and gravy.
Not officially in the challenge, but down to below 280, which is about 12% of overall goal.
Nice work!
Good work! That was my stretch goal for the challenge, but I’m hovering around 285 right now. Hopefully a few more weeks of buckling down can get me sub-280
Depends when you measure, of course. I take my morning pee and clamber on the scale every day. Take the number, grab the coffee, sit down at the PC with Excel and put the number in and look at the trend line.
I find daily weighings to be very valuable, despite the variation, because I get that immediate shame or gratification.
Daily weighings can vary by as much as five pounds in either direction. Their primary use is in establishing a trend line.
Yeah … I find even during the course of a day my weight can vary by as much as 5lb.
Little known fact, /Claven, the average human loses over 1kg per day just by breathing. Link.
TW: Quora
Chemically, the act of respiration trades Oxygen ( O2 ) for Carbon Dioxide ( CO2 ), which has the added mass of an entire carbon atom per molecule. So the act of breathing is a net weight loss even before the energy consumption of operating the repiratory muscles is taken into account.
I do daily weigh ins too. I find it motivating no matter the direction.
I went up again. I used to be below 300. Not anymore, worse I feel fatter than I was at 360.
Yeah, but you’re lifting, aren’t you? That’s going to change a lot of things.
Once i get down to a reliable 270-275, it’s time for the rowing machine. I expect my mass will actually increase.
I was at 260-270 at my best. I have no idea what ratio of fat/muscle the 40 pounds I gained is. Yeah, my upper arms and shoulders are less flabby, I can feel ribs through my chest, but my waist increased two inches. Figuring out what the weight consists of is driving me batty, because that would determine if I needed to adjust what I am doing and in what manner.

Don’t beat yourself up after small hiccups. You’ve already come a long way. One off week won’t matter in the end when you reach your goal.
forty pounds in the wrong direction is not a small hiccup. If I could be certain it wasn’t regained fat that would be one thing, but I have no way of knowing.
Sorry, I thought you meant that you had just edged up over 300 again on your way down from 360.
Me too.
Do you even hashtag, brah?
Last year around July I was having difficulty continuing to lose weight just by diet, and had not managed to get back down into the 260s, so I began adding activity to try to return to the downward trend. However, since I’ve been a sedentary fat bastard since I was a teenager, the first thing increased activity did was add muscle, which made it impossible to know if my poor eating habits led to also regaining some of the fat I’d been losing. So I’m going in circles trying to figure out what I need to adjust to continue on my primary goal of getting rid of this gut.
Good luck, Unciv. I got no snark in me tonight.
I have a bathroom scale that measures body fat percentage. Something like that might help. Seeing a nutritionist might help? I know you can get an accurate test in a dunk tank, but that’s expensive.
Math to the rescue!

UnCiv at over 300. Nothing left to cut. 😉
Well done, keep it going!
I don’t want to be healthy in a world that throws Count Dankula in prison.

I started at about 230 eight or so months ago. I’d like to lose another 15, but I definantly feel bether than I did last year. Summer is coming up and I always lose some weight in the summer. I may get to my goal eventually.
Maybe if you take your safety boots off?
If all of his previous measurements were booted, then the trend line requires him to keep them, or the data is flawed.
IPCC scientists disagree.
My previous measurements are kinda all over the place. I only weigh myself once every couple of weeks or less. I can really tell if what I’m doing is working by how I feel.
True. I’m at work right now, and just took that picture. I probably have 5 or more pounds of stuff on me
Hard hat
Safety boots
FR rated pants and long sleeves
410 channel locks in my back pocket
Klein 10 in 1 screwdriver
Key ring with Leatherman
I’d take it all off, but it would be slightly embarrassing to be caught naked in the company bathroom.
Pics?

Nice! You’ll weigh even less if you take off the boots!
You’d be under 200 by now if you could get those shoes off.
Wait, I can include my redwings and Carhartt double fronts?!
Totally OT. since VT is about to go full retard on gun control, what happens if I move to New Hampshire but work here? Does VT take income tax?
They do, but IIRC you get to reclaim some of it because you live in VT.

At least the Iowa senators voted no.
Yay for us. If all of the U.S. was like Iowa, we’d be better off (although we do have our political peccadilloes).
ICH BIN EIN NO-VOTAH!
At leat my senator, Tom Cotton, voted no shit weasel that he is.
That douche from the other side of the state, Boozman was for it. Fuck em both anyway.
I’m guessing more than a few of those no votes were simply because the piece of shit had plenty of votes to spare. If there was a chance this thing was going to go down, at least half of them would have flipped.
To say it’s been a bad fucking week is a fucking understatement. Trump has flushed 2018 and 2020 down the drain but it really doesn’t really seem to matter one Goddamn bit which party’s in control anyway.
^^^^ Yup.
I’ll be stopping at the liquor store on my way home. I’m going to drink myself silly. I mean, I would have anyway, but now I can blame it on politics.

Another reason to hate the Pats, as if anyone needed one.
He’s still in damage control mode from being a notable pal of Trump’s while owning a team in Boston.
Allow me to explain. Back prior to Mom’s Demand Action, there was another group. This group was called Mayors for Gun Safety or somesuch. It had that racist POS Bloomberg and Mayor “Mumbles” Menino as its leaders. Some of you might remember him from the “Bahstahn Strang!” era, when the police rioted and warned everyone to stay in their homes when a mass murderer worked his way around to killing a local cop after slaughtering a bunch of us mundanes.
Menino is pushing up the daisies now, but it is certain that his buddies who are still involved in the astroturf group dancing on the corpses of those 17 kids have a personal relationship with Bob Kraft.
Mark Kelly lost on Jeopardy to a jock.
I’m not in the challenge, but I like these threads so I’ll post anyway.
Right now I’m in the home stretch of hockey season. Last weekend I had a 4 game tournament, and the weekend before I had a 4 game tournament. I’m just trying to stay rested and not overdo the off-ice training. Just because of my schedule and activity I’ve lost 4 or 5 pounds. For the next few weeks it will be 2-3x/week weights and 2x/week practice. Right now I’m doing research and coming up with a plan for the off season, which is about 6 months long.
Sounds awesome, Kevin!
So far so good. Because I had to cover for our Olympic guys, I played a lot more than normal, and some of those tournaments were brutal. But I must be doing something right. I’m 46 and I still feel great. I’m tired after games but not wiped out. No overuse injuries this year. Last year I had tennis elbow pretty bad but I had a guy fix it and now I know to take care of it.
Last summer I tried to gain some muscle, and I did, but it didn’t make a huge difference in games. The “big guys” out there have 60-70 pounds on me, and I’m not going to match them. Now I want to get faster, so I’m looking into getting leaner and developing power this summer.
Haha! I’m in the same boat. I don’t think I’m ever destined for massiveness, either. I’m going to work harder on HIIT and flexibility, too, I need to get faster.
We have a guy on our team who weighs about 250, and that’s without legs. (I’m at about 140 now). When he hits you, it feels like a brick wall. But one of the Paralympic guys (also smaller like me) once told me you don’t have to worry about getting hit if they can’t catch you.
I’m planning on getting some wheels on my sled so I can practice sprints and sled pulls.
I may have forgotten, but are you in a chair day-to-day?
No, I use crutches during my normal day, and I use a chair when I go shopping or other places where I have to walk far. I do have some advantage over other players because I have some use of my legs and can mostly use my core muscles, which makes it easier for me to turn. Ironically, the most disabled (double amps) are the best skaters because they are lighter, and they can turn on a dime.
Yes, my buddy who plays has no use below his chest, so it’s all arms for him. He also had a hell of a time learning to ski, as he has no core muscles. But he did.
You guys are fucking warriors. I hope you come back next year.
I’m playing next year for sure. I’m not sure where we’ll have the major tournaments, but I’ll be here and I’ll let you know.
I’ve been a lazy bastard during this entire challenge. I have dropped about 4lbs, though. It really is time for me to get back on this.
Flat week, but given the travel, stress and chaos, I’ll take it. Pants are loose, shirts look good tucked in, gun fits IWB more comfortably.
Only got to the gym once this week, but I felt pretty good. Foot is almost 100%, so hopefully I’ll be back on the ice soon. I’m going on vacation next week, but I’m gonna keep going with the challenge. I’m still carrying some frustrating love handles, so I think I’m gonna keep going until they are gone. Seriously considering long-term, hard-core keto.
No price is too high to pay to keep the government running.
I’m gonna drop this here just because. Self promotion is important, no?

Wasn’t it Bloomberg who explicitly called for barring young black men (under 25, I think) from owning guns?
But we’re the racists.
Last Friday I had that panic attack because getting off a diuretic causes water-weight gain. Who knew. I said I’d stay off the scale for three weeks so I didn’t have to fret over the noise. Yeah, that lasted till Wednesday, when I got back down to 353 from 357 on Friday.
I’ve stuck to <1800 calories a day.
I'm officially down to the DIY holes in my belt, having gone through all of the factory-punched holes.
I'm still experiencing significant body dysmorphia where I don't see myself having lost any weight, even though I'm down 70. But shit that hasn't fit me in a decade fits me again. Good thing button down shirts never go out of style.
I'm hitting the gym every day before work, doing my physical therapy and then 12 minutes of HIIT on the bike. Arms, shoulders, hips and quads (especially the quads) are big and rock solid islands of twisted steel floating in a sea of adipose tissue.
I noticed that the skin around my gut is starting to get loose and my belly button is starting to get arrow-head shaped. Hurrah I can't wait to look like a melted candle.
According to the Navy body fat estimation equation (http://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy), I currently have 220 lbs of lean body mass. My PT thinks this is probably in the right ballpark. If it is, 20% body fat would put me at about 270 or 275 lbs. So even when I'm in shape, I'm still going to be gigantic. For the long term health of my knees, I'm looking at lifting weight forever. There are worse things, I guess.
I really do not like being the fat guy at the gym lifting dinky weights. I can only do bench right now, but I'm on doctors orders to do no more than I can do 3×12 or 3×15. And I am supposed to tilt my pelvis backward and press my back into the bench instead of the normal arch. And put my feet up on the bench. This is good for my abs, which is important. But its killing my weight. I wouldn't mind so much if I could wear a sign that says "Yes, I know my form is really bad and my weights are low. Its on purpose." I guess its not the weight so much as I don't like looking like a dumbass who doesn't know what they are doing. Don't dislike it enough to stop me from doing it twice a week. Nice thing about getting older. Its easier to flip on the I-don't-give-a-fuck.
Speaking of which, bendroom antics are a lot better down 70 lbs with a wife down 15 lbs too.
Speaking of which, bendroom antics are a lot better down 70 lbs with a wife down 15 lbs too.
Which ultimately is the best reason to get fit in the first place!
Thanks for the update, Leap. Not sure why the doc wants you to flatten your back, but whatevs. Don’t worry about the weight – in five years people will be ‘mirin’!
Great job!
My abdominal muscles are very weak. Benching like that is a way to resistance-train them without using my bodyweight.
I can do body-weight for some well-developed muscle groups (quads, glutes, when you are fat every day is leg day). But for other groups I just weight too much and the muscles are too weak. If I try to do crunches or situps, my overdeveloped quads try to take over and pivot me around my hips because the load is too great for my abs to overcome. So when I’m holding the bar, pressing my back down is the cue that engages my abs, and they are only trying to lift the weight on the bar and my shoulders+head, which is less than all of my upper body. By pressing down instead of crunching up, the quads don’t compensate
Its weird, but everything this guy has me doing is weird and its working.
Sounds good to me! Keep on truckin’!
Keep it going. Sounds like you’re doing well.
If I had to exercise in front of other people, I’d never work out.
I also felt better before I noticed I had my height wrong and the caluclator had my “lean mass” at 192. I corrected my height and now it claims 205. Dammit, that’s above my entirely arbitrary and pulled out of thin air goal weight.
You’ll die if you have no body fat. 30%-20% is a good target for an overweight person to aim for. 20% body fat would put you at 256. 30% body fat would put you at 292. Aren’t you right at 300? Pick a number in that range and you can be happy (aka start putting on muscle, if you want).
1: Yes I am aware of that.
2: My official goal is “my gut is gone”. No numerical value is an absolute target.
“Gymnasium” comes from the Greek word for “naked”.
The greeks were freaks. Now they’re just downmarket French.
I just fasted for 2 days and did a colonoscopy prep last night. I forgot how shitty that was.
Pun intended.
I’m sure I’m down 5-10 lbs from last week. I plan on eating and drinking well tonight.
shit that hasn’t fit me in a decade fits me again.
Absolute best indicator.

Something very interesting about the modern “music technology” landscape (which will probably interest no one except possibly 1 or 2)…
…is that its very much becoming like the video-game world, in how “modders” whacking together little hacks/plug-ins/customizations will quickly show hardware/software companies what direction to innovate in. Its also something that’s a big part of the whole crypto-tech world (which is what i’ve been doing recently); company “development plans/roadmaps” are very much based on ‘what users decide to do with the product’ rather than some fixed ideas about where the technology *should* go.
The core-skill is not having some ‘grand vision’, in other words: its having the flexibility and responsiveness to adapt to your user-community.
Basically, the user-base / beta-testers are so well-integrated with the developer community that “new ideas” quickly become part of the core-product.
the thing that prompted this thought was this guy (excuse his very annoying mannerisms) discovering this particular feature….
…which is a feature i think someone first introduced a year or two ago as a MIDI plug-in for Ableton live: basically, a controller-hack which allowed you to use your modwheel to ‘play’ an arpeggio like strumming a guitar
What’s cool is the fact that developers quickly looked at that and said, “why not just build that into our instruments”? and wham: there it is. which basically removes one step of complexity out of any given production workflow.
its not exactly revolutionary, but whats interesting to me is the speed at which these sorts of things happen. What’s very-novel-ideas 12 months ago quickly becomes almost ‘industry standard’ within no time.
I have no exposure to “music tech” but this is very cool.

“I have no exposure to “music tech” but this is very cool.”
a short primer:
basically, between mid-1990s and mid-2000s, everything tech wise was “moving pre-existing -hardware into computers”. ‘virtual’ tape decks, ‘virtual’ effects processors, ‘virtual’ synths, etc..
in effect, building virtual-versions of exactly the same things hardware did. they even tried to make them look the same and have the same buttons/layouts. all sequencers were basically the same ‘left to right’, linear player-piano layouts..
between mid-2000s and now, there’s been far more “making tools no one even considered possible before”; things that would be either prohibitively difficult or conceptually problematic in a hardware environment.
the case-study application is Ableton Live, which started as sort of a novelty audio-looping/DJ-performance device in the very-early 2000s, but has become the dominant platform for the bedroom/solo music producer.
as a platform, Ableton has an architecture which is far more conducive to experimentation on the “performance” side of the equation. Every other DAW (digital audio workstation) has incredibly flexibility in the “processing and editing” (post performance/post-production), but only Ableton has this nutty, open-ended manner of how to create ‘performances’ in the first place.
90% of the really cool shit in music-tech mostly stems from the ‘paradigm shift’ that Ableton introduced.
You can learn a lot from listening to this guy
Kooky.
I was just looking at getting an old reel to reel to set up a tape delay on my son’s synth.
Digital is cool, but I still like analog.
One of the upsides of the ‘digital revolution’ is that people are re-learning ways to use analog technology in better-ways.
everything on the “front end” (recording of sound) has abandoned digital, and is going way back to 1970s type tech. Neve just reintroduced their 10-channel sidecar, which hasn’t been produced since 1975 or so. and that’s because no one is using 96 channel large-format consoles anymore. everything, once recorded, gets done in the box. but getting things into the box still requires high-end analog audio kit.
“”an old reel to reel to set up a tape delay””
this dude hacked a cassette deck to do same thing. want so bad.
From the dead thread
But the contract between the political action committee and Cambridge, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, offers more detail on just what Mr. Bolton was buying.
Buried lede. How exactly did the NYT obtain a private contract between two private parties? Did they receive stolen goods and forget to include that tidbit in their story?
The cunts from that Florida high school published a screed in the Grauniad, and as you probably would expect, it’s an extremely predictable rehash of the same ol’ shit.

Maybe they could follow-up this article with: “Why Are Democrats a Regional Party Now?”
“Nuh uh! We won Alabama after we wrongfully convinced the whole country that our opponent was a pedophile!”
(By the way, if what Moore did was so criminally inexcusable, why did we stop hearing about him the day after the election?)
I think Moore did what he was accused of, but I think it’s a fair point to note that no one has talked about it since he lost.
“did what he was accused of”
I disagree. He did hit on young girls (over the age of consent); yes kinda creepy. However, he did not rape anyone and he did not victimize children; the things that the Dems accused, or at least strongly implied he was guilty of.
TL/DR Version: Let’s ask leading questions to an Ivy-League professor and come to the conclusion that if you live in a small town, you are a racist.
I guess it’s better than nothing, but still pretty laughable.

Garbage week. Hopefully this brings some cheer
YAAAASS…..
I don’t have much to report. Except that I noticed I wasn’t shrugging at the top of my overhead presses on my last workout, so on the next rep I made sure to get the bar up as high as I could and THUNK. I put a couple little dents in the ceiling. So no more doing OHPs with the technique plates on.
Getting antsy to start increasing weight, but my budget won’t allow that until July-ish. Oh well, plenty of time to work on form.
Hah, that’s funny.
Ya, I had a good laugh at myself. It’s not a big deal because I’ll be taking the room down to the studs for a remodel in the near future anyway.
Nice! I’ve been holding my last press as long as I can for an added challenge. Even with lighter weights it’s a motherfucker.
OHP is the hardest for me. I’ve got skinny little arms. I’m not quite in DOOMco territory but I’m 6’3″ and walk around at 170 right now. I’d love to be a lean 190-ish by next summer.
Holy shit. Pandora just coughed up something I have never, ever heard before: Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, doing a western swing version of the William Tell Overture.
Fucking awesome.
I didn’t do so hot this week. I did well on keeping my drinking under the limit and avoiding doughnuts on doughnut day at the office (I had a doughnut this month already). I was better about getting to the gym this week than last week. I fell apart on controlling snacking.
My weight is unchanged: 288 lbs.
