Donated blood yesterday and got a banana afterwards. It was darn good.
That is all.

Started re-reading Sandman yesterday. This will be the first time reading it since buying the Absolute editions. I have read the entire run many times before but always only in trade/single issues. Only read the first issue so far, but still highly enjoyed it.

Great to see people moving towards their goals.
I have lost about 3 KG in three weeks since I started eating better and working out more which I am quite happy with. I have found that eating healthy has not really been AS hard as I had feared (Although still pretty damn hard). I have mostly maintained my Work out program to, with the only exception so far being yesterday where I didnt go because I had donated blood. Some people say they love working out after doing that but I really dont and just cant do it.

Is there a thread/topic that discusses those comics that you know are not really that good but you still enjoy a lot and considers one of your favorites because of various reasons like nostalgic reasons etc? Just curious because a series like that for me would be Marvels 80s transformers series. I love that series but its clunky, inconsistent and very much a toy add.

I recently spend a lot of time cutting Down my Collection to the comics I really want to keep and then just read the rest digitally. I know that some people here dont like digital comics and prefer physical copies, and I do feel the same. But from a practical point of view its just nice with stuff like Marvel Unlimited. I downloaded the first/ first few issues of various know to get a taste of it before investing to much time/Money on single issues/collected editions. I read the first few issues of Howard The duck related comics and enjoyed it enough to buy and read the first complete Collection which was great. Up next is Iron fist/ Marvel premire.

Welcome aboard, bor. Heartily endorse the use of MyFitnessPal - I'm not 100% obsessive about the logging, in the sense that I'll generally find the nearest possible match rather than weighing every lentil, but it is super-important to get a grip to ensure that you're eating a calorie deficit. I guess the key message is - it can be done, and we're all here to support you. We've just ticked over into our 100th page of proof of that - a genuinely supportive bunch that has certainly made a real difference to me, and I hope will to you as well. I'm with you on the cake - I've eaten pretty healthily in my meals, certainly for the last 30+ years, but I've always been prone to snacking in between meals. One of the things that MFP helps is to recognise where the calories are going and makes you focus on the trade-offs - "If I eat this piece of cake (or in my case, particularly chocolate), I need to workout for that amount of time, or avoid eating those amount of meals!" Thanks Simon. Yeah I am not completely obsessive either and usually go by the "about" measures to. I also use it a lot when grosery shopping to look up and calculate what various foods contain. The who snacking thing can be extremely hard. The last year I have been working as a high school teacher, well the Danish version of it anyway, where they way I was employed ment that I was payed by the hour which was not great because of unsteady hours, but also ment I could work from home a lot. That was nice, but also resulted in me eating more snacks just because it was so easy to do at home. Now though I am full time employed, and while the school does have place to buy foods its usually pretty fatty or expensive so I bring my own lunch which really forces me to plan my meals in advance which is a big help.

Hey guys I would like to join you here and participate with my expereince. I have always struggled with this. Unfortunately I very much have enherited my dad´s genes when it comes to weight and those are not great. After a long summer break which included two weeks vacation, a music festival and a beer festival in Berlin I have reached a new top weight and I am officially heavier now then I have ever been standing at 105 kilo (so about 231 lbs Google tells me?). Fortunately I am also just by nature heavy build and pretty darn strong so working out is not really a major problem and I have managed to do it 3 times this week so far. Welcome aboard , bor! Excersise is great but 99% of losing weight is what you eat. Try to find a eating plan that works for you and dedicate yourself to it. Simon Garth and bert are great examples on how a person can totally transform themselves. Good luck. Oh yeah sure. But that is not really that big a problem for me. I have always been happy to eat low fat/carb Things. My major problem is cake but even that is not a daily thing or near that and when it comes to drinking Water and coffee is 90 % of what I drink normally. This last summer has just been very full of fatty food/drinks. I am keeping track of what I eat on my phone with MyFitnessPal which works pretty great. I also have a Family history of various Heart related illness so I go to check ups every 6 months which keeps track of various Things like colestrol numbers etc. That one is really the number I need to keep my focus on mostly because its a high killer in my Family. So eating with that in mind really eliminates a lot of the more "dangerous" items.

Does DC include stuff like Vertigo or are we talking the main "brand" of just DC? For me atleast it makes a huge difference.

Recently I bought the newest Doom for Xbox one and I must say so far I am enjoying it a lot more then I expected. It flows very much like Classic Doom and its also pretty fun to build your own levels in it.

I have used a few names on CBR (not because of a ban or something like that, simply because a few years went by where I did not use it and it was aparently deleted). I am from Denmark and have been "looking" at comics for about 20 years. I have only been reading them for about 18 years, or rather since I begang bing able to read. I wonder if I was the only one who began enjoying comics even before I could understand what the characters where saying?

Just wanted to say hello. I posted a little years ago on the old forum but recently mostly just lurked. Despite still enjoying new comics I also have a great love for older ones, mainly Superboy, the legion and spider-man, so its great to have a place to discuss these now with the changes on CBR
