Oh I meant good games. Not Halo Reach. Does this game even have a mercenaries playlist yet?

Not impressed, Frank. I can do 40 pull-ups*.

I wish I could still do 20 pull-ups. Gymnastics is not friendly to your joints :\
I can do a half.
We shall.

You can't swim but you can play legacy? Priorities, Fyre!
Thanks to help from Tashi I went from 280something in April to now around 263 and dropping. I ran out of money to continue my ketogenic diet though, so until things settle over here I'm having (small) servings as pasta for dinner.
Ever since I got here to 'coova I've basically been drinking 2 gallons of water a day. Not even powdered Gatorade anymore. Thankfully, I didn't have the drinking-another-distant-city's-water problem.
It probably also helps I went from something like 1,000ft elevation to 0-200 feet elevation, it's like overdrive for my lungs.
I'm from Nebraska, your chance of a water landing in a plane here is less than the chance Reach will ever get TU 1.2.

keto is really hard. I tried it last summer and I couldn't keep up with it. You have to put so much more effort into each meal
I don't have a magic cure. Diet, exercise, less carbs, but no real plan. I do however keep loads of calorically inert snacks like carrots and seltzer water on hand for weakness moments.
A true man, you are

I plan on starting Keto once I get down to ~160 when I get back to school and start lifting. I don't know how I'm going to manage, carbs are delicious.
but bacon is more or less unlimited at school, so I guess I'll manage.

And fuck 503s... so annoying.
I'll be back to playing something in 15 minutes or so.

Using a program where you have to log everything you eat helps too. I use myfitnesspal. When you do that not only do you consciously have to acknowledge what you're putting in your face, but you see what it actually is in regard to nutrition.
For instance, here is what I've eaten today.
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/alienshogun
I'm 2 weeks into a hard cut and I've lost 18lbs since March/April (almost half of that just in the last two weeks) while maintaining most of my strength.
I had trouble sleeping last night.
Isn't that the "I'm 'in' with people from bungie/343 kid?"

Same here, except for the diet.
I eat anything I want, and try to burn it off in the gym.
Although, saying that I haven't been to a MD and Burger king or similar, in over 3 years.

I just do loads of P90X/X2 and now on Insanity (phase 2) to help balance my eating habits. During the week I'm solid low(er) carb (less than 80 or so usually), and on weekends I cheat a bit.
Dropped nearly 40 lbs since last year at this time, and 25 since January thanks to P90X2 and Insanity.
Nice bro!
While we're sharing stories, this year in 15 weeks I've gone from 305 to 245 today. Keto diet with regular cheat meals and exercise a few days a week (basketball and tennis mostly). Gotta hit the weights soon though and be consistent with it.
At first the diet was hard to maintain and it was hard to resist the good foods but now it's easy as fuck. I'm not really hungry all day and I'm a meat lover so I don't really need to be creative to find meals to eat. When I get hungry a few peanuts or sunflower seeds get me by.

That's awesome, tashi.
It's been horrible for me recently because of how often I'm going out during the summer, especially going out to eat. It's hard to keep control when you're handed a menu with all your old temptations on it twice a week.
I've lost 18 pounds since I got home from school, but I've hit a wall these past couple of weeks and haven't lost anything. I gotta get back to being super strict.
Yeah I just did eggs for breakfast, tuna+salad for lunch, and ground turkey burgers minus bun with cheese on top for dinner. Bacon was absurdly expensive though, I only did that once (and burned half of them into nothingness)
At the very least I stopped doing my lazy bad habit of making a pan of pasta and meat and just eating that throughout the day. Didn't need to do zero carb, just dropped it waaaay down. Way, way down.
You know, I thought being so damn close to the ocean here would drop the price of fish, but nope, more expensive than Nebraska. Although the pop/soda/soft drink up here is half the price. 5$ for a 12 pack there, 2.12$USD here.

I know! I've become a fuckin hermit to stay on this diet and lose weight. I figure the time spent on this diet is well worth it though.

I don't have a ton of time for the gym, so P90X and Insanity are amazing. An hour or so at home after work.

It used to be that I'd just try to go out once a week and make that my cheat day, but when I take a cheat day and then plans come up, it really screws with me. It's all about willpower, I guess. I've taken to eating a lot of light yogurt, that stuff is FILLING. Scrambled eggs with one yolk are also baller.
Does not help that my girlfriend's mother is a militant italian that begs me to do nothing but eat.

I lost ten pounds by only eating out of necessity rather than boredom and mostly sticking to coffee/water/milk/carbonated waters rather than soda and shit. To be fair, I gained ten once work started because I couldn't find time to eat anywhere but out, so it's currently a net zero. I'm looking to drop ~15 or 20 (155 to 140 or 135) so hopefully it'll stay this way. Once school starts I'll try and do P90X2, I just can't right now because work means there's never a consistent schedule/timeframe where I could do it without losing necessary sleep.

Exactly the reason why I'm going to be buying it very soon. Not to lose, but to gain.

All workouts are flawed, you just need to find one that suits what you want to get out of it.
BUT MY POST IS NICER.

I definitely have to find a workout. But I mostly blaming my nourishment. Definitely have to change.

This is the key. Some people love the gym, some (like me) love the videos. Not all videos are equal either. TapOut could be awesome for some, P90X for others.
Insanity is a beast of a workout for cardio if you're looking to lose weight or get back into shape. P90X/2 is a good weight loss tool, but also works for gaining.

Changing that can really help, too. I don't have the discipline to stick to a real workout routine, sadly, though my summer job kept me pretty active during the day. Now that I've got a three weak break I'm definitely gonna start running again, at the very least.

This this this. Find what works, experiment. After Insanity it's Gregg Plitt's workouts all day for me, that man is so inspiring!

Shadows catchphrase is "What the FUCK?"

sigh......It's times like these I wish I had my capture card running. I was just in a party with a squeaker going crazy at the Forward unto Dawn trailer.
HE actually shouted "OMG Mastur cheef" no lie.
Also this; whilst having a squeaker in my ear.

You guys owe me, next time we're in Halo 3 and in a position to dong, you can be my wingman, anytime.

Seriously, you need more swear words. Maybe you could learn Finnish ones?
"Perkele" is the best curse there is.
EDIT also, is any of the Arcade titles on sale good?
EDIT reposting
Anyone coming to play Halo soon? 3 or Reach.
Hmm, well, i guess i could play Halo Wars too but it'll take me sometime to get used to the controls again...
