God damn it, I thought this Hacker's Diet was going to consist of what I do, which consists of sitting at my computer for hours eating cereal and popsicles.

Quote from: "Nabubrush drinks (a lot)"
I jumped rope the other day for the first time probably since I was in grade school. I was just out in the garage with the music basting, just a-tearin' it up. The next day, I could not walk due to extreme pain in my calves. The jumping of the rope uses muscles that people may not be accustomed to using, as at least for me, I do not find myself making little hops like that over and over in my daily existence.


Totally understandable.  Jumping rope is hardcore exercise in camouflage.  That's why it's the preferred form of excercise for both the  Girscouts of America and Rocky Balboa.

It's sort of funny, because I'm pretty active on the ol' elliptical machine, and the sweetie and I play tennis, ride bikes, and . . . other exercise-related activity. I grabbed the jump rope, I was wailing away thinking "hell, this ain't so bad," and the next day I nearly needed assistance just to get out of bed.

Ooh! Easter egg!

Found in the Hacker's Diet. Great stuff! Thank Pete for Mozilla and the Fedora project.

It lives!  

I just thought I'd resurrect this thread to see if everyone's still ridin' the weight loss train.  I reached my 25 lb. milestone this week, bringing me down to a lean mean 134.5.  Four and a half pounds to go!  

Anybody else doing well?  Pedro was off the wagon for a while but he's back on now.  

Also, before and after pictures.  Note that the "after" picture was taken about 2 weeks ago...I've lost another 2 lbs. since then but it really doesn't show.  

Apparently, dieting hasn't made my smile less crooked.

I stopped my weight gain and started to lose (almost ten of the fifteen off), but I chalk that more up to starting smoking again than to any conscious diet or exercise program.  I have been getting outside and doing active things more often since it warmed up, though.

I've been holding steady after losing around 25lbs.  I'm not really eating well or exercising, though - it's just too damned hot out.

My goal, though, is to lose another 25lbs. by the end of the summer.  Then I'll only have about 75lbs. to go!

Cheater! Look at your hair/clothes in the before picture compared to after.

Cort misses the joke because he is not a girl, and does not buy products advertised with exactly these kind of before and after pictures.

Personally I am afraid that jl is going to vanish soon.  The Italian gramma in me wants to send her some pasta.

Damn. I wholeheartedly agree. You are lookin' hawt, Ms. Dunston.

I have lost 36 pounds since February 1st of this year, when I began the Hacker's Diet.

I am sort of at a plateau, ever since I got laid off from my job. :~( We had THE BEST workout facility there, and it was free. I am still trying to work out, but my weight loss has really plateau'd since I haven't been able to work out at the same intensity as before.

My goal BMI is 19, which will mean about 120 lbs on my 5'5" frame. I am Sicilian, so I unfortunately have a large frame. But I am excited to buy a bikini this summer.

Christ, I thought MY job had perks. All the bacon I can eat can't hold a candle to a f'in WORKOUT facility.

Okay, I'll bite (excuse the pun):

What is the "Hacker's Diet"?

Don't hackers drink regular Coke and eat pizza and Chinoise take-away six nights a week?
