ROFLMAO...I called it.

This has been a fun read.

Looks like in addition to the tactical suspenders, the XD and Glock, you need a tactical lunch box that doubles as an EDC.

 

[TacticallyFat]

I would love to be wrong, but I think we have been had
(sorry about that)

With all do respect sir, I'm not really sure what you mean by "you've been had." I really appreciated the responses I got in response to my current situation. It seems that for some reason you some of you guys seem to question the seriousness of this thread, I assure you I am being serious. Again, I can't think gym enough for his advice and look forward to the routine he comes up with for me after I sent him the PM. Like I told gym, I am in my mid 30's, 315 lbs, and 6' 1". Any tactical advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks again in advance.

give up bacon
eat low fat zombies for lunch, and ghosts for breakfast
get a bigger gun, aliens are real

 

[bluelineman]

You could always throw your tactical bacon & tactical Diet Dr Pepper at the zombies. That way you would be more comfortable carrying only one handgun. And it would be less calories to boot.

 

[larryh1108]

I do believe this man is serious in his question. However the answers of diet and exercise have caused him to go into the mode of "I didn't ask for help on not being fat". Anyone who is or ever has been seriously overweight gets comments all the time and that is their way of dealing with it. I find the bacon eating zombie freak a funny way of telling us to mind our own business. Do I believe he carries 2 full size autos? No. Do I believe he has a fear of zombies? No. Do I believe his pants fall down when he carries? Yes.

Honestlly the bacon and wiskey aren't going to fit in with any plan I can come up with unless its the Atkins Diet which allows you to eat all the meat and bacon you want, but no carbs. Before I would recommend such a thing you realy need to get a complete workup. It actually may suit your needs better if you can just be happy with eating protein and fat in the beginning. This was a big craze about ten years ago, but you would need to get yourself checked out your glucose monitored and the like, and slowlly you start adding some complex carbs, as you go into the next phase. But I will tell you right now, Booze is a no no, especially when you are on this diet as it changes your metabolism, I would look at the diet online and see if it is something you think you can handle. I never cared for it because I just think eating tons of protein strains your kidneys. and if you have health problems it's going to be tricky. If you can at least start cardio, even as mentioned walking, just start with what you are able to do while carrying on a normal conversation. If you find yourself gasping for air, stop. Each couple of days it will get easier, and If you have a pool that you can use that would be the way to get the cardio without straining your joints. It sounds like you are going to have to change some of your habits or you will find it very difficult to continue with any plan. I would rather see you give up a little now, than a lot later. The food you are eating will cause coronary disease eventualy, you let me know Tactical.I wouldn't go near any weights yet just the cardio and a decision on if you can control what your intake shall be.

 

[TacticallyFat]

Is this for real??? Hey Tactically fat maybe you should get a shake weight and do some pilates. Stop watching "House" and exercise.

Yes this is for real, and I have had few of my friends suggest the shake weight. I'm not entirely convinced of the tactical effectiveness of the shake weight, but I have highly considered it. I have started my stair stepping regimen, and have started doing a few push ups as of today, but thanks for the advice. I'll look in to the shake weight, again thank you to all of you guys that have been serious, and don't just make fun of my overweight situation. To all of you guys that choose to make fun of me, that's fine I can handle it, but I do appreciate the responses that are truly trying to help me out. I understand it was my first post, but I have read through this site for years, and have seen that there are a lot of good posters on here. I honestly just wanted real help, so again thank you to all of you guys that have tried to give me real advice, it is greatly appreciated!

(yo, I was sympatico too, right up to the zombie, ghost, aliens bit.. and he inserted his sig line right in the middele of the thread... poster Nasty called it, but I wasn't paying attention.. see again his 1st post... he never so much as hinted at getting in shape help, the request was for... tactical gear... get it ??)

like I used to tell the ladies way back when in my girlin' daze, "I ain't easy, ma'm... but I can be had !"
nope, that line didn't work, either... well,,, almost never

 

[BlayGlock]

You should carry a third gun. That way you will have so many stuffed IWB that your pants could not possibly fall down.

A glass of beer and a shot of booze have roughlly the same amount of calories in them. So substituting one for the other really isn't going to change anything unless you go to a light beer, then at least you have maybe half the caloric intake. But what will happen is if you pour yourself big drinks, and fill them full of juices, you will take in more calories, just from the sugar, and not moitoring how much wiskey, vodka, or whatever you pour, is going to increase after the first one.
I still drink, but try to keep is social, on wekends, not every night, and not alone, my buddy of 50 yrs almost died 3 years ago in an alcohol induced coma, it took 3 months to get him back, he was just bored and always a big drinker. We found him on the couch after 2 weeks of no contact, half dead. Emt's rushed him into the hospital where they really didn't want anything to do with him. I got him into a rehab and he started snaping out of it after a few monts, but almost died, He hasn't had a drink since. Now he just watches porn, lol.One beer a day isn't going to hurt anyone, or a glass of wine with dinner, it's actually good for you in moderation, but the problem is that some folks can't moderate anything. So if you have an eating problem, it's easier to assume you can substitute it for a drinking problem.

 

[1KPerDay]

For zombies you need more firepower... a serbu super shorty should do it. IWB on one side and 40 rds of buckshot on a belt bandolier.

Again, thank you for your helpful insight, I should have mentioned that I mix my whiskey with my tactical Diet Dr. Pepper, so I'm mixing it with fake sugar and not the real stuff. To all you guys that continue to attempt to de rail this thread, please keep it on topic. Remember I am looking for suggestions on how to keep my pants from falling, and looking for any type of tactical cargo pants, or jeans, for a bigger fella. Again, thank you gym for your insightful posts. To all you guys trying to make a joke out of this, please knock it off, I'm just looking for some insightful suggestions.

i think we have witnessed an evolution of a species...the ninjas have moved from the malls to the buffets

 

[pikid89]

on a serious note though,
how is this "being tactically prepared"

a BG approaches you and SHTF and you are involved in a gun fight...you pull out the Glock and unload on said BG...here comes BGs buddies...time for a tactical reload, reaches into cargo pocket grabs mag, slams it home and !$#$@!#$!@ the gun is jammed (realized that is a XD mag...OH !@#!#@!@%$#!@# where is the Glock mag!?!?!?

thats not tactically prepared at all (why do you think cops do stuff like carry a Glock 21 on the belt and Glock 30s on the vest...mag interchangeability)

pick a gun and stick with it

BTW zombies are not real...grow up

 

[MICHAEL T]

Is this the New Mall Ninja ? Zombies!!! Please be serious . Whats next, vampires , water pistol and Holy water will work their . Got silver bullets for the were wolfs. .
Sorry but if this guy for real he needs more help than 2 guns.

 

[Nasty]

A *totally* new evolution...the troll becomes a mod and tells *us* to behave!

It might be TEOTWAWKI

I may need to bulk up a bit to be tacticooly prepared.

How much bacon and whiskey do I need to consume to pack on 90 pounds quickly? I'm 6'4 and that ought to put me close.

ps: Serbu and 40 rounds of BS...that should be enough to drop anyone's drawers.




pps: Can't help it...haven't fed a troll in a long time.

I should have been clear in my original post. You have made some very good points, but I am more tactically aware then your observations suggest. I tactically keep my XD mags in my left cargo pocket, and my glock mags in my right cargo pocket. I train relentlessly with this same set up, and am very proficient in grabbing the correct magazine. As far as your OPINION that zombies aren't real, I hope that you are correct, however, I fear that you are not fully training yourself for their imminent invasion. I sincerely hope I am wrong about this, but fear that I'm not. I guess when I admitted my fear of zombies I should have been aware that there would be some of you guys out there that can't help themselves from making fun of me, but it is what it is. Once you get done with your jokes and jabs, feel free to stick to the topic, and give me any suggestions you might have. In regards to the guy that said I have no intention on losing any weight, you are just outright incorrect. I took up gym on his kind gesture of sending him a PM for suggestions, and if you actually read through the thread, you will see that he is working on some suggestions. Again, I can't thank you enough for your kindness gym!

 

[1KPerDay]

hewww boy...

 

[pikid89]

Heres an idear

get a tac vest so your upper body can support the weight of your many guns and SHTFTEOTWAWKI reloads (that may get confused)

then get a bandolier belt and stock up on this stuff so you can have nutrition for the invasion of the undead

Actually Creatine is one of the few supplements that work. It can increase strength "in the beginning" by pretty impressive amounts. But causes kidney problems, and really just inflates the muscles by holding water, but it can make you look good if you are already in good shape. I trained with several names I won't drop, that were well known athletes one former heavyweight Boxer. and no two guys or girls react the same way to diet or exercise, thus the obsession with personnel trainers, most people just need someone to kick them in the butt and yell at them. Working out is a boring thing to do unless it involves a sport. but walking on a treadmill and lifting weights is hard to stick to without support. The eating thing is the easiest part if you can get your head wrapped around the fact that it never stops. It has to be a lifestyle change, not something to do for 6 months and go back to what you did before. That's why 90% of people who join a gym, never or rarely use it. If they all showed up, the gym would explode. We had over 4000 members at one point, that was the peak of the fitness craze. But most times there were a few hundred a day that really used the facility. I'm going to say something about supplements, and it goes for most people, don't waste your money, a multi vitamin and good diet will trump out a drawer full of expensive supplements every time. I had a doctor who was the "ring doctor" at the old Garden, and doc for the golden gloves,he still did the fights up until 10 years ago, Richard Istrico, a hell of a guy. Ali, Sphinx, Hogan, you name them and he knew them all and they loved the guy. He used to tell me all the time, this stuff is just a waste of money, it gives you gas and stomach problems. Hey I hope "Bacon is on the level", as amusing as the entire thing is, unless he's pulling everyone’s chain he didn't do any harm, and if someone got something from all this then it was worth doing. Common sense is key in anything including what and how you eat. I think that's enough for a while.

 

[Dookie]

A friend of mine who is a personal trainer, I would strange him if he were ever mine, to much energy. The way he explained it to me losing weight is similar to quitting smoking, to do it you have to WANT to do it and be prepared for cravings, serious cravings. You have no idea how much I want a Wrangler from Zips.

In the meantime, you have to find good fitting clothes. Someone somewhere makes clothing for gun toting heavies.

 

[John58]

Look I always found that a diet of gatoraide and hot wings, followed by some licorice ice cream gives me the energy to fight zombies til they're all dead. You might want to give this a try.

If being fat makes you shaped like a V, just invert the V and start walking on you hands. Problem solved
