New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 1889 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

My Wendy's always clears the deal from the screen. Maybe it's due to my family of 4 are all lined up to order with our phones at the ready.

BTW, had the Big Kahuna at Jersey Mike's today. That place never disappoints (well, maybe on price).

Hmm. Well, in my 20's I was 162. It seems I add 5 lb's every decade.

Yeah, I used to take boxing classes for a short time, they are a heck of a workout. But in a feel-good, drain everything you got kinda way. I don't think boxing is a good sport to get into though, you literally get brain damage when you spar, and you need to spar to get good. If it wasn't for the brain damage aspect, I would have got back into it a long time ago. I actually want to do jiu jitsu for the satisfaction of fight training without the brain damage, but those places are too expensive.

BJJ will give you a much harder workout, imo.

Not that this is news to anyone, but diet really does matter so much more than working out. I was working out for a year and a half and didn't lose any weight. Then started intermittent fasting (while also cutting down on crap food) in addition to working out and immediately lost 15 lbs in a month.

Took me way too long to figure out you meant Brazilian Ju Jitsu.

I looked into it, and I probably agree, but I think as someone way out of shape and just getting back into fitness after 10+ years of being sedintary, boxing is a better ramp than BJJ is.

But yes, I will be mostly participating in this thread vicariously going forward.

Went to Potbelly for the first time the other day. Ordered a Wreck w/hot peppers. Solid suggestion, tasty sandwich & decent bit of heat.

Bonus bogo on receipt. Gonna try the Cuban next time.

The instructor is key. Instead of some studio guy like this:

try to find a city program or something like that, and explain to the instructor up front that you want to proceed slowly.

Just increase the number of chickens you chase down and decrease the number of guys slapping your stomach while you do sit ups and it'll balance out.

Thanks for the advice all. I'll look into all the suggestions.

Preki, free singles have been. Going on most of September. Good through the end of the month

I'm 100% sure the screen capture gimmick would work at my local Renton Wendy's, but I'm fat enough already.

Yep. To all of it. Too many deals and I only eat McDonalds and Wendys as a result. And still offers expire.

Lol, had the same exact order for the first time earlier this week as well. Went again the next day to use the bogo receipt and they gave me another bogo receipt. I wonder if it continues forever !
