"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

cardio & calorie restriction do not work for most people. do a search here on losing weight or losing bodyfat.

Yeah, but how many have you been taking in?

E.g If, hypothetically your BMR = 2000, you're buring off 1000, but taking in 4000, is a net gain of 1000c a day.

OK, you need to get a firm grip on your intake, like the others have said. Give us a typical day's diet - an HONEST account :) Then we can figure out what the hell is up.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Ignore the scale. Use a mirror.
That's excellent advice kerpal :). Bodybuilders or even many of the big lads here are technically obese according to things such as weight and BMI - but their body fat % in general is reasonably low. The scale doesn't know what your body composition is or what you look like - use the mirror to gauge your process :up:

and forget gauging any progress over anything less than a month or two. lots of things contribute to weight fluctuations over anything less than that, especially water retention.

Better yet use a tape measure, it's more accurate.

Amen to the suggestions above, the scale is the devil.

Even the mirror and tape measure can be dangerous if you want to compusively use them every day, like me.

I found the best indicator of progress was a monthly front and profile picture, one week is just too short of a time to notice any changes, on the scale or otherwise.
