>>9060705

>>9060732
Shit nigga good idea
if you make it expensive, people with money will think its worth that feel good wearing it because its expensive.
Fucking shit I should start a company m8s

>>9060732
Honest question, would there be any schooling required for something like this? Starting something like that really interests me.

>>9060747
>>9060757
its actually how the fashion industry works, a god example is Zara, the clothes is just design ripoffs made by some ricehead, you just have to know how to make clothes or at least sew a straight line and operate a pair of siscors, have good contacts or costumers and you´re gtg

the advantage of being a waiter while doing this is that you get to know a shitload of people to get suppiles, sell the items or at least spread your name, thats how you make money and get costumers

as far as i got i got 3 assured costumers, 2 coworkers and some junkie i gave my number too

>>9060774
as someone in fashion school this is fucking hilarious
keep going

>>9060795
>tfw poor and can't attend a fashion school

Shopping for clothes has replaced heroin for me.

Anyways, my diet is pretty shit and I'm still somewhat thin, but slowly turning into skellyfat.

I think I'm gonna cancel all of the preorders on games I have (besides WoW, shits crack) and spend all of that money on clothes. I just buy games to buy them anyway I barely play the shit I have.
Thanks for reading my blog guys

calorie deficit is overblown, your body will slow your metabolism and turn you into a narcoleptic slug before you loose more than 15 lbs if all you are doing is eating a deficit. At which point you wont be a a deficit anymore, you will just be cold uncomfortable and burning fewer calories.

lifting can be important, but you can get good tone by doing bodyweight exercises and sprints, the most important thing is to do whatever exercise you are doing until failure.

>>9060795
then enlighten us pls

>>9060732
And what makes you think you'll succeed? Every week somebody posts about their new "streetwear" brand where they put a fancy word on a floral tee for $60. You never hear about them again.

You're not the first person to come up with this idea of buying fabric and sewing finished goods for a markup, and you won't be the last either.

>>9060734
Yeah, but I don't need a job either. Pic related is my earnings this November so far; it's more than you'll make in all of 2015 working at McDonald's.

>>9060854
Forgot pic.

>>9060631
What I've been doing to lose weight is not eat breakfast, only eat almonds and carrots for lunch, and then eat a normal dinner, it's only like 1000 calories a day

>>9060867

Are the almonds activated

>>9060879
Someone please fucking explain this meme to me

>>9060858
Wait, what do you do?

>>9060639
This.

>>9060815
most of my tuition is dealt through financial aid
and i live at home and use public transportation so that saves a lot of money as well
>>9060846
>you just have to know how to make clothes or at least sew a straight line and operate a pair of siscors, have good contacts or costumers and you´re gtg
it's not that simple
there is an insane amount more to fashion business than that
>life is a struggle m8, i´m starting to save up for starting a clothing business, its a business where i make custom dresses to dumb girls and charge them extra money on basic dresses
this will fail quickly
where is your start up money coming from?
where are your samples being made
who is making your samples
where are you getting your textiles from
where is your equipment
scissors and a home sewing machine are definitely not suitable for this
you make it sound like more than anything you'd be a knockoff tailor
do you know how to pinch in?
do you know how to form fit?
what about draping?
there is a reason why people either go to school for this, or work for a big company until they can afford to attempt it on their own

>>9060830
enjoying the expansion m8?

>>9060823
would sniff heroin with

>>9060907
Expansion comes out Wednesday at Midnight. Gonna stay up all night playing before my 1 hour class at 10.
Really looking forward to it

>>9060858
>shit pc
>loaded btc
how the fuck?

when did you start anon and what's your rig?

>>9060886
It's good to see at least someone has sense on this board.
>>9060882
>>9060920
Stay poor /fa/

>>9060930
lol smug much. i never got btc so i was just askin.

>>9060936
What don't you get about it?

>>9060976
I've always wanted to start since the last two years but I haven't because I thought you had to have a powerful pc to mine bitcoins. That and because it sucks too much on electricity. Given that I'm a poorfag, I couldn't risk to consume too much electricity.

So do you just run off the program and let it sit all the time? Waiting for golden shekels to fall out from the sky?

>>9061040
You should have at least bought in two years ago. I'm not going to go into details (you can Google it if you want), but yes, the gist of mining is more processing power = more coins.

I don't mine though; there's no money in it unless you're a big player. Pic related is $3.6 million worth of hardware that went up in flames this week in Thailand ;)

>>9060631
currently I am eating low kcal with occasional heavy days so 1200-1600 with the occasional 2000-2100 day

So far I lost 25lb since April and have kept it off

my diet is changing but basically it's roti, injera, sticky rice or couscous with a thick spread, tagine, curry or wot either tomato paste based or legume and a small portion of meat

eating in season is hard on the east coast, I don't like having to adjust to the fall produce here I don't like the limited selection or quality

As a result I am mostly focusing on spirulina to incorporate into meal plans in savoury ways along with dates.

Also looking for decent sources of dairy, I found some people in Pennsylvania with good quality goat and camel milk so I hope to make chevre or ayib but really just anything fermented soft cheese is fine

>>9061126
>I don't mine though; there's no money in it unless you're a big player. Pic related is $3.6 million worth of hardware that went up in flames this week in Thailand ;)
Haha. If you don't mine then we don't know just how much net profit you've actually made from investing in it. Surely it's nice being rich tho. I haven't copped anything good for a year.

>>9061226
If I said I did, you still wouldn't know how much I've made... What are you trying to say?

No wonder you work at McDonald's.

>>9060631
On a subject besides the obvious efforts to stay slim and fit,
I have an absolute obsession with keeping my skin glowing and smooth and my hair thick and shiny, so my diet is very much tailored to that. I don't smoke, and I only drink socially when it would look weird if I didn't. I love to drink, but I don't want it to take a toll on my body, skin, and hair, which it does, so I abstain.
I have a juicer, and I drink about 32 ounces of fresh pressed juices a day. The ingredients vary, but they always include dark greens, beet, carrot, a fuckton of celery, cucumber, tumeric, lemon, and aloe vera. Sometimes I include apple or some other fruit, or tomato.
Then, I also include lots of salads in my day. Protein is a must, especially for hair. And healthy fats are a must for both skin and hair. I eat a lot of fish and seafood, but I also take fish oil supplements every day, plus biotin, marine collagen, and a good multivitamin. Avocados. As often as I can remember (since you have to use them so quickly, I sometimes forget to buy them or forget to use them before they go bad).
Exercise is lots of walking and swimming. I love swimming, although it's getting a bit too cold here for that, even with a heated pool, so I'll probably be skipping the swimming for the next couple months (I have an outdoor pool, if it were indoors it wouldn't be a big deal). So, lots of hiking around in the woods and parks instead. Light strength training, just enough to keep my muscles defined without being a fucking hulk.

>follow /fa/ dietary advice religiously
>die at some point
"Health"

p.s. don't starve yourself i don't give a fuck about your circumstances it's too addictive

>>9061196

why is your diet all weird middle eastern carbohydrates

>>9061316
I'm actually a dropout but thanks for the projection. I hope you're ego is all stroked and satisfied cunt ;^)

>>9061336
Weird is a relative sort of thing bruh

I ferment a lot so that explains the injera

Roti is quick and easy to make with some hot water/kneading

Barley couscous and sticky rice are easy to prepare without a pan

I primarily like to steam things on a skillet like the flat breads mention above or balance a splatter guard over a boiling pot of water with the rice in a down turned bowl for an easy to clean meal without too much water/energy use or waste

That and the foods I like to cook go with them so why not.

>>9061378
Dude that made me feel bad, I'm honestly sorry. I should stop acting like a cunt.

Did you drop out of HS or college and why?

>>9061320
holy shit you sound hot

>>9061378
no shit your'e a drop out
>not knowing the difference between your'e and your

>>9061457
Lol, it's alright. Don't sweat it. As long as you aren't one irl it's all good. Life is too short; you could either spend it being good and positively influence people or just spend it doing the opposite. It's up to you to contribute on and reinforce your chosen pole.

Dropped out of HS due to complicated circumstances (I was in Europe at that time). Even then, before that I was already feeling disconnected from everything. Been neet, hikki, then neet for a couple of years now, loads of internal struggle and infinite relapses. I don't even know what it will make of me. Time isn't that forgiving. I keep getting older. Can you believe I already have my hair salt n' pepper from all the stress? Crazy.

>>9061611
just a typo m8. left uncorrected from the botched editing. i noticed it right after submitting.

The only thing that I do is drink a ton of water, besides that I eat as much as I want and do tkd four times a week

As soon as you start eating healthy again you are going to put that weight back on in spades

enjoy your yo yo dipshit. why do you do this to yourself?

Once you guys hit your mid twenties you're going to start to see the value of eating healthily. I wish you could see it now.

>>9062952
Haven't hit mid twenties yet but definitely hopped on the eating right bandwagon recently. Don't want to evangelize but just realized that I needed to make the change permanently.

>>9060854
