I always use a spotter unless there's a power rack that I can set safeties and still get a full range of motion. There's no downside to having someone spot for you.

Came in at 9.9% body fat today and 74.2kg, started at around 80kg and 23.5% in February. This week was the 31st week of training, I was at 11% last week and wanted to make sure I hit 10% so for the past 4 day I've ate exactly the same foods and meals.

Picture for those that care and because I said I would is herehttp://s7.postimg.org/ba0wqns22/IMG_20130912_204205.jpgTrainer also showed me the "before" pics and it's ridiculous how fat in the face I was compared to now.

I'm aware that I lack muscle but that's what happens when someone starts lifting weights and eats at a deficit - my motivation was always fat loss, I'm definitely more toned in the arms and chest area though than I was...so overall pretty happy.

Plan now is to eat at maintenance for a few weeks and "reset" my hormones then start eating to gain muscle

A morbidly obese coworker of mine waddled off to the restroom this afternoon and shortly thereafter several employees started running past my cube. I came to find out that she fell over in the bathroom and couldn't get up. They ended up having to call paramedics because the force of her fall injured her legs somehow.

Moral of the story? Don't be a fucking fat ass who fills his/her office with cupcakes, muffins, and 6-packs of regular Coke.

*edit* Maybe it's just the warping of the mirror, but Ossoi looks like a white Erudite. Good progress nonetheless. Post the before picture for comparison?

Jesus, if that's not motivation to lose weight, I don't know what is. Fuck breaking your legs because you can't sit on the toilet and having your coworkers have to save you.

I just spoke to her and apparently she ruptured her Achilles tendon. I'm not sure if that is a result of the fall or the cause of it. Maybe her stubby little legs and ankles could no longer support the enormous burden they had to bear every day.

She has to be pretty heavy if it was her weight that caused her achilles tendon to rupture.

How obese is she?

Was she your pizza roll mentor?

Pretty damn fat. She's really short--probably like 5 foot 3--and has to weigh in high 300s or more. To give you an idea of her weight, I can feel the floor of our 3rd floor office building shake when she enters and walks to her cubicle. My morning coffee vibrates with each of her steps like the fucking T-rex is bearing down on me.

Was she your pizza roll mentor?
You know, I was planning on swinging by the store after work tonight and picking up my favorite "shitty day" meal: a 12 pack of strawberry-frosted sugar cookies, a 90-count bag of pepperoni and sausage combo pizza rolls, a bag of Doritos, and a gallon of milk. However, after she fell I thought better of it and I'll eat some chicken with sauteed onions and peppers instead.

Yeah. After hearing that story I'm eating some grilled pork with brown rice and broccoli tomorrow. Fuck all that shit. Fuck it forever.

Don't worry man, Brown Rice is fucking shitty. I hate that shit. It's like.. regular rice but not good at all, with no good flavor or textures and the color of a particular group of people I hate.

I was going to ask if the co-worker that fell was Sean, but then I felt bad and didn't say it. But I guess I just did. Then I remembered he doesn't work. I am such a shitty human being.

I love McCheese. He's such a motivator. Your shitty day meal could feed a small African village for a few days.

I've always had trouble eating rice (especially white, but all varieties, really) because I can't help but picture each grain as a squirming maggot. I feel like I'm shoveling spoonfuls of maggots into my mouth.

It still has the consistency of a torrent of feces entering your mouth
Right, but, considering how many more benefits it has to just the starchy white rice, you should always TRY and stick with brown rice. That or legumes. Lentils are the shit.

I'll go with Legumes. Bear Grylls eats like 98% legumes and he is shredded as fuck. I won't drink my own piss or cook the legumes in piss though.

Just picture them dripping with Papa Johns garlic sauce.
