    Tinman is the one dude here where I genuinely am worried he has dark secrets hidden in his basement.

    WOW - this is literally a list of the worst states to live in based on my time living and traveling across the country. I would drop Oklahoma down a few spots, move Ohio up and make a small exception for the wealthier parts of New Orleans. Otherwise this list is really accurate. Florida and Georgia have some really bad spots, but they have other areas that are good and cancel those out.

    West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas are just turrrible.... and Ohio is a special type of trashy, the kind you get crossing the South and Midwest.

    It's cool people can have this as a tool but a buddy of mine who always struggled with weight was on Ozempic and it was working for him until he stopped using it and rebounded.

    The main issue here is for many who rely on these drugs, they don't pick up lifestyle habits compared to those who went the traditional route of a long slow process of dieting and exercise. Those who went through that slow process built up habits over that process that made them keep those habits even after they reached their weight goal. With these drugs, the moment you get off them your habits return to what led to obesity.

    Honestly from my experiences, it seems like people who were raised in households with a full time stay at home parent who cooked at home with complete non processed meals are always the ones who had healthy sustainable eating habits as adults and people who were raised in households were parents didn't have this time and were reliant on fast food, microwave dinners etc are the ones who struggle with a sustainable healthy diet. One of the privileges I had was having a stay at home mom who cooked traditional Bangladeshi food( chicken curry, lentils, rice, a lot of veggie dishes etc) since I was a baby. People don't realize how much of a head start kids who have that type of upbringing have over people who had parents who could only afford time to get them quick processed meals.

    So many dudes my age can't cook a dinner using basic non processed ingredients because they were raised in a household that barely ever cooked. Probably one of the largest factors outside of sedentary lifestyle with our obesity rates. Our time constraints in this modern economy has prevented people from learning how to cook sustainable healthy dinners.

    My wife probably would not enjoy me sharing her story but none of you know her so it's all good.

    she has a health savings account she had never touched and there was a decent amount of change in there. She decided to get one of the new weight loss Viles for injection. She took it for 4 months and lost 25 lbs. but then the account was dry, and refills run from 400 to 600 dollars from what she showed me. She decided to replace the drug with working out 4 times a week at the YMCA with me. She has lost an additional 15 lbs. since she has weaned off the meds. I also know she has gained muscle which i have to tell her weighs more than fat.

    She told me that she just needed a kick start. She was embarrassed to swim or work out in front of others because of how she thought she originally looked before the pounds came off.
    now that she looks thinner to herself and others, she has become a workout warrior.
    walks1.5 miles on the Y track and then 20 laps in the pool joins me and the other lazy F's in the steam room then hot tub, and then we head home for a very sensible dinner.

    These drugs are a good kickstart, but unless you have unlimited funds you will need to get off them at some point and will need a plan in place to maintain or continue losing more weight.

    I guess she is going to want a chin pull back now.

    Ya you have to have the right approach. Like your wife, you can't come in thinking this is a permanent solution. Good on her.

    Look up Mochi Health. They are legit and a lot less expensive for these types of drugs.

    Maybe if Trump is like at 70% bf and CJ is what maybe around 13% I assume?
    Then the height and weight might make sense. Fat dies weigh less than muscle.

    Hence he's have to have a bf% that would instantly kill him like 70% to make that weight and height make sense.

    That's great... but reduction of body fat is like... 95% nutrition and only around 5% exercise.
    The formula to reduce body fat is super simple: burn more calories than you consume.
    Nutrition is a much bigger factor than exercise.

    There are many barriers to eating healthy:
    • There's a ton of misinformation about how to "eat healthy"
    • A lot of the healthy food is more expensive
    • Healthy food usually expires faster
    • Healthy food is not nearly as convenient as unhealthy food
    • Healthy food is not nearly as delicious as unhealthy food
    • Food companies deliberately develop food products that have addictive flavors and addictive ingredients, while keeping the ingredients low quality (and, thus, low cost to them)

    fat is the enemy of humans
    It’s not a body positive thing
    It’s like a heart disease positive thing
