Post: #27

We still have room for 3 more, guys. I'll message you.

I hate to be rude, but did you read the OP?

There are other newbies who keep messaging too wanting to join. I've suggested to some of you that you may want to start a thread and put a newbie group together.

If that seems like too much of a risk because you're exposing your identity to a group of unvetted guys, well, I guess you can understand why we have to put the minimum requirements in place.

On the other hand, if you happen to know some reputed forum members personally who just haven't taken the time to rep you, feel free to send a message and we'll sort it out.

If he's classy he'll call your masculinity into question and start his own damn group!

...respectfully, of course.

^ You're right; that would be proper cutting group ettiquite.

I also expressed interest but I was unsure of what the "reputation" requirement entails.

I don't use social media. Does "reputation points" mean that someone needs to "like" me or "upvote" me or something?

I don't know anyone from this board in real life. I thought that was the whole point...to protect our identities so nothing we post here can be used against us in real life.

I just wanted to join a group that would give me some positive ass-kicking to try to control my eating/exercise and report my progress to. Not sure why all the cloak and dagger stuff is necessary, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Any other ZERO REPS want to start a group, PM me

Get on board cutting group 4 here fella.

You can probably join without any rep points by the looks of things.

Regarding reputations points, you don't have to meet anyone from the forum to receive them, instead, they can be obtained through quality contributions you make here. Having said that, don't get it in your head that you should never meet any forum members in real life, that's what truly adds value to the experience here. Generally speaking though, you want to be careful with who you choose to meet up with. If they have zero or low rep, you'd want some decent PM exchanges before taking anything further.

The reasoning for not allowing zero rep members into previous cutting groups is simple.

Any swinging dick can start an account here, which means, that swinging dick may in fact have a pussy instead, be a raging feminist (or white knight) with the sole intent of doxxing members.

These cutting groups can be quite revealing, as you inevitably go into detail about your life etc, moreso than you would on the board.

It's common sense to want to have a proper vetting process, lest it wind up biting you on the arse.

Thanks, Windom.
For the moment, we'll start the group with whoever would like to come. But, I will also suggest that people treat the group as open, until we establish some rapport.

BB- sent you a PM.

Post: #36

Bump. I've knocked off 21 pounds since joining. BB and most of the #3 crew lost weight by banging dimes in Southeast Asia and sending me tropical pics while I froze my ass off in Wisco all winter. I lost more weight but they won on multiple fronts.

Post: #37

I've lost 10 lbs. At 195 right now. Had an injury I'm slowly working through and I've been naughty with the cookies, but getting better with that and more determined.

In all seriousness though Onto, look into counting calories. That's how I lost my weight. I tried multiple diets and failed miserably.

I'm going to do a datasheet on calorie counting once my abs are fully visible. It's the only viable long-term solution for me.

I frequently eat ice cream, cookies, candy, you name it, but only if it works into my calorie count for the day. For example, if I only ate 600 calories of chicken and rice for lunch and 300 calories of soup for dinner, I don't feel guilty shoveling 1100 calories of ice cream down my throat. That would put me at 2000 calories for the day and I generally burn around 3000 per day. I aim for around 700-800 daily deficit 5-6 days per week. That leaves a day or two per week to eat like shit and not feel bad about it.
