If you guys can afford them or have access to them, kettlebells are really great for workouts. I can recommend some workouts/exercises

Literally fast food. no more sweet tea and lemon. no more energy drinks and random sweets. I started eating foods that I can actually Identify what the were before they were cooked if you know what I mean. I increased my intake of water period. And I reduced the portions of what I have been eating and eating multiple meals instead of one major a day.
This is the biggest I have ever been. In this picture I am 342.
Last weigh in this morning puts me at 329. I got a ways to go but I wanna get back to this
Wish me luck BCT.
i dont think i need to lose weight (im 5ft1in, 113 lbs), but i want to be skrong, to build a little muscle and tone up
i took my first step towards being a Better Me by cutting soda out of my life, and after a couple weeks, i had a pepsi and couldnt believed i ever liked it. i thought i was going to be sick lmao.
but i guess its been a month and a half now without a soda and even though its been such a short time, i feel much better and cant see myself ever going back to it. i know thats a small thing, but after 22 years of drinking that crap daily, breaking away from sugary drinks is a big deal to me and i really want to see what else im capable of.

What do you guys who dont drink soda drink?
Water, milk, and coffee make up 95% of my non-alcoholic beverages. I dehydrate pretty easily so I'm always sipping on water throughout the day.

Thirsty ass.
There are different forms of whitewashing. There is literal whitewashing where a non-white character is made out to be white on film, such as a real life Asian person being portrayed as white in the movie 21. Alongside that, there's narrative whitewashing where films about a non-white culture are told from a white character's point of view, such as The Last Samurai. Either form of whitewashing perpetuates the under representation of non-whites (and by relation, over representation of whites) in our media.
The concept has sort of been done before with Yakuza by Sydney Pollack: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073918/
Damn good movie if you haven't seen it.

It's not Whitewashing. It's pulling a Mighty Whitey. The White Man goes to another country/culture and proves that he is as good or better at the ways of that culture as the natives. And since the White Man in this trope is usually also the Point of View character, it reinforces the White Man As Default.
water
what really helped me was getting these cans of Perrier:
because i realized I REALLY WANTED THE FIZZ
so now, whenever i notice i start craving a fizzy drink, i dont buy a soda. i just drink a can of that perrier, which is 8.45 fl oz of sparkling mineral water (pretty small), then i can go about my business just drinking whatever bottled water i have.
those packs of perrier have saved my ass. can a nigga get a sponsor? i'll preach at the church of perrier.
Water.
I miss soda but water's just much cheaper. I'll kill some sweet tea though. I still drink soda whenever I'm out of the house.
We got a LeBleu machine at home (god knows why) so I probably drink about 6 cups of water per day just sitting around the house.
That and 2 of those whey protein drinks mixed w/ water. I just started that this week though.
I honestly dont notice a difference though. I got the benefit of youth + great genetics on my side so I pretty much can and do drink/eat whatever I want.
As for Xbox One, I'm still buying one. I don't buy used games, I don't borrow games from friends, I don't rent games from Redbox/Gamefly and I have a reliable internet connection. I understand why people won't purchase one, and I commend them for their decision to do so, but I lack the moral fortitude to boycott a console for reasons that don't directly effect me. It's a selfish position, but in a decision between boycotting a console for ideals alone and playing the games that I want to play, the latter is going to win out 100% of the time. There's simply going to be to many games that I'm going to want to play on the platform, and I'm not going to be reduced to port begging or missing out on great gaming experiences.

What kind of protein are you taking? Just regular whey by gold standard? Try myofusion it's a protein blend including whey, I always suggest protein blends to new protien drinkers though
this stuff
I saw a lot of posts about Trutein in the Fitness thread so I was thinking about ordering some of that when I get low. I don't really know a lot about the supplement game.
Water, milk(when I can fit it in my macros, usually for a protein shake), coffee, water flavors like crystal light n mio
Water and beer. Seriously
I drink this when working out. Helps a ton, since I don't get to eat my required 2900+ calories a day. I'm 6'2, 174 and it helps with the protein intake greatly.

Yeah I hate gold standard whey. You'll get alot of suggestion for trutein with is a protein blend too. I recommend trying myofusion though, it's my favorite blend by far.this stuff

To a great extent, absolutely. Most black people grow into lactose intolerance at some point in their lives. I wasn't lactose intolerant until a few years ago. I tried to simply ignore it initially, but the effects have gotten so bad that I don't even want to look at milk anymore (without taking lactaid!) It started out with just straight milk and ice cream, but it has slowly grown into dairy products in general :/
Don't I know it, there is a place around here that makes old school milkshakes with real cream and shit. Had one it damn near killed me.

I scare people for a reason. I'm really a teddy bear lol.
I couldn't drink a glass of milk by itself without damn near throwing up.
It was sort of a blessing in disguise as far as weight loss is concerned. I fucking LOVE cereal and ice cream. They're definitely my biggest vice. So literally not being able to consume them without being sick to my stomach or dropping cash on Lactaid definitely helped.
I fucking miss Ice Cream though. Ice Cream, Milk Shakes, Smoothies, Froyo, Boba, etc.. I loved it all... Fucking blows
Everything good in life has Milk in it!Yup, and once you phase it out of your diet, you're fucked. You can gain some resistance to the effects by consistently consuming it, but once that's gone, it's a fucking nightmare. I nearly shit myself the last time I had a White Russian Lol.

Stopped drinking soda about a month ago. Been drinking nothing but water and juice. I try to avoid the proccessed stuff and drink organic but that stuff is just as bad sometimes too lol.

My cosmic awareness must be slipping cause I just got that reference.
I couldn't fit a leg in them jokers if I tried.
And I realized something else. I eat more soup. Funny how it slipped my mind.
Juice has a fuck ton of sugar. I don't like drinking my calories personally, but I do it within reason. Alcohol is the worst for dieting.
Myofusion taates great. But I'm on that struggle protein right now, bodyfortress.

Pretty much drink 90% water rest is a juice. I've had to phase out the Dole fruit juices for Trop50s juice. Considering how much I love fruit juice its being difficult. Greatest irony was I cut out soda 10 years ago and stuck to fruit juice/drink. Big mistake since fruit drinks may have more sugar than even soda.
Anyways, Xbox One won't be my console, I'm probably moving back to Ghana at the end of the year, its bad enough with the random blackouts but considering how spotty internet/broadband has been any time I visit, any console that requires this kind of connection just won't work for me. I understand why Microsoft is going down this shitty path, but they obviously don't care about any places with low broadband internet penetration. Its been amazing watching them double down and basically convince me to not even consider a X1
