That's New York City for ya.
We are sending her a plug in hot plate and my sister picked one up for her. The niece wants to stay for a year and then find something closer to school. At least the neighborhood is nice and quiet and close to the subway.
Edit: However there are an inordinate amount of streakers

I have to admire the effort, especially knowing I couldn't do it myself. If I could get down to somewhere between 180-200 I'd probably be pretty happy with it there and leave off the diet completely at that point.
Best of luck to you.
I just want to be 195 and have muscles again.

My poor nieces' apt in NY has no gas to her stove, my sister in law spoke with some neighbors and apparently it's pretty common. The landlord said something about not being able to put a meter in?
When my sister gets home I'll get a better idea of what's going on, either way this should have been disclosed before they moved in
not okay.
They are supposed to have gas hooked up to the stove before they move in, otherwise the place is not up to code. There is a *long* standing war between the landlords of the city not wanting to pay for gas no one is using(fair from their perspective) and the city stating that turning off gas in an apartment is illegal no matter the circumstances(what most people in the city feel). I'm sorry she's caught in the middle.
Does she have heat? If not, the landlord is blowing smoke up her rectum and she should place a complaint via 311.

I'm going to assume she has heat, I know it's been pretty nice there but I'm sure my sister would have mentioned there is no heat. Either way thank you for the number I am going to pass that number along.

Morning, all. What did I miss?You missed Chris Cornell making U2 and Metallica fans happy. Or pissing them all off. Or both?
As a Metallica fan: awesome.

Yes. That's... that's actually pretty deep, right there. Well done.
EDIT: Having re-listened to them, I think his acoustic version is even better than the original two. And I like both bands. Nice.

I am 5'4&1/2", and,... let's just call it '185lbs' :)
I fluctuate between 180 (When I feel great) and 190 (When I do not.)
My Dr and I agree that I need to lose weight. (I have 'borderline' health issues that would presumably vanish if I weighed less.)
What we disagree on is the AMOUNT. I would be happy with 10, and ecstatic with 20 or 25lbs. HE tells me I need to lose 50.
WTF?!? I have not weighed 135 lbs in DECADES. (Yes, I'm that old. Let's just call it pre-2 wives and 4 kids ago!) :)
EDIT- I feel like told this story before. :/

I'd like to be more ripped, I feel like I've lost a bit since staying home. Not too ripped though, I am trying to cultivate a Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall type image after all, not Toby McGuire on roids for Spider-Man.

My fitness goals:
"I just want my stomach to not jiggle when I brush my teeth." - Kevin James.
Actually, I just want to look good with a tucked in shirt. I recently scaled down from categorically obese to overweight, and it feels good to be an average sized (American) man. I can look around restaurants and feel skinny, comparatively speaking.
I hate exercise, though, so mostly vegetarianism has been doing the heavy lifting for the past few years. Perfect blood pressure and cholesterol even though the most exercise I do is about a two miles walk five times a week.
Oh, better quote: "I just want to look good naked." American Beauty, I believe.

I have serious health concerns, so I have to at least try to stay healthy. I naturally have high blood pressure (Like, a good day is about 150/90), so I don't need much help in making that whole situation worse. I'm six foot even, and weigh a nice 175 pounds. Now if I could just do something about my bouts with depression and stress, I think I'd be golden.

Archer fans with slacker radio should check out archer: i am the dj. I hope it's still up, it's amazing. The cast is both in and out of character when djing, and they talk about their lives and history and how it relates to music. Please give it a listen.

Since people seem to be enjoying my "exploits", here are a few more pointers and pitfalls:
(1) Alcohol is NOT your friend.
One of my biggest problems with alcohol was that I was trying to use it as an appetite suppressant: Two shots of rum will kill your appetite just as well as a burger, at about 1/5 the calories. The problem is, once you've had those two shots of rum and you get hungry again a few hours later, you think, "Well, I didn't eat lunch because I had rum instead, so I can afford a bigger dinner," and you end up eating 2000-3000 calories in a single meal.
Alcohol impairs your judgement. Who knew?
(2) Change destroys diets.
On every diet I've ever tried, I've gotten ahead of schedule. For example, this morning I weighed in at 183.2, while my schedule has me at 185.4. So my immediate thoughts were, "Hey, maybe I can ratchet this diet in a bit! Maybe I can hit 165 in January instead of February..."
The problem is, once you start ratcheting, you will inevitably fail to meet your new goals because they're too aggressive. And you will invariably say to yourself, "Well, this was a beefed-up schedule anyway, so it's no problem missing a day or two." And eventually your diet collapses in a sea of justifications.
You're a smart person. You made a good schedule when you started. Do not change it. Ever.
(3) Overoptimism is the same.
I waited 60 days to start a 30-minute-a-day workout. And guess what? It's hard. Not because it's exercise, but because we all have routines. We work. We game. We sleep. We relax. And we do not like our cycles to be disrupted. So I gave myself 60 days to get accustomed to being hungry all the time. Then I started disrupting my schedule with a 30-minute workout. And 30 minutes really is right at my limit of tolerance. This morning I woke up and didn't feel like it, but since it was only 30 minutes during my lunch break I figured, "Well, I can't fail on day 2," and slipped it in. The idea that, "I'm going to sign up for an aerobics class and go to three 1-hour sessions a week," is great, but when you add commute and changing time and you're suddenly trying to rip a 2-hour chunk out of your day, 3 days a week, you find it almost impossible to keep up.
Half an hour works. In another 60 days, I'll try upping it to an hour...

Ah well. On the more positive, his speech is coming on great, even if he can't decide between a Limerick, Galway, or Dublin accent. :P I'll be having full chats with him before too long, I reckon. And because his mum has him for Xmas, I get the two weekends leading up to it, which'll be nice. :)

Wait? You can't decide to stop using gas in private apartment and switch to using electric stove for cooking?!

no. Gas cooking is strongly preferred unless you are in a weird part of new york. The gas/electric wars here in the 80s were....not good.

Try the diet I was put on today: no eggs, dairy, beef, wheat, barley, oats, corn, sugar (of any kind), potatoes, beans, coffee, alcohol or fruit. Basically chicken/turkey/fish, vegetables, rice, coconut water/milk, tea.
Man, swell up after a meal one time and the medical professionals hit the damned panic button. I must say, though, tonight's snack of rice crackers and dinner of salmon, broccoli, rice, and celery stuffed with sunflower butter wasn't too damned shabby. And now I'm drinking blueberry mojito tea with a touch of Stevia. So far, so good!
