| Being lowkey about my diet is what finally made it click for me Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:27 PM PDT Every time I tried to lose weight I'd go all in. I'd cut off all unhealthy food, I'd drink so much water, I'd exercise, I'd try to do everything right, I'd post motivating quotes, measure each of my successes and fails and so on. I'd post cheesy posts about motivating myself for 'accountability'. And each time I'd be like THIS IS IT, I'M FINALLY GOING TO SUCCEED!!! And then I don't. Because doing all those things takes a lot of hard work and when something in your life, no matter how small, happens that requires your attention, you are suddenly too tired to put in the work. So I loosen up a bit and a week later I've genuinely forgotten I ever even tried to lose weight. Then rinse and repeat. This time when I started counting my calories I said fuck it, I'd do it my way. I ate whatever I pleased, I didn't exercise and I drank my diet coke with satisfaction. I naturally started eating healthier a few months in. I also felt like exercising so I started some small routines. I lost a lot of weight and I still have to lose. But I feel better. People are noticing and my clothes are loose. I'm losing slowly but I'm not in a hurry. I hope this helps someone out there who is in a similar situation. [link] [comments] |
| Oh my god!! I'm in the "overweight" BMI category!!! Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:46 AM PDT I'm freaking out right now. Sw:245 Cw:178.8 For all of last month I've been eating well, but my heart wasn't into it. I was pretty depressed and had some shenanigans going on that prevented me from exercising a lot. Stuck in the 180s for like 2 months, hovering around the same few pounds. But July feels like a slap in the face (but in a good way?) and with my period ending, the depression lifting, I've been back to exercising daily and I feel great. I've been waking up to the scale going doing every day of July, and today I unexpectedly hit 178.8!! I'm in the 170's!! I've also been drinking a shit ton of water each day for the last few weeks, along with yoga and trying to practice mindfullness. The biggest thing I've realized on this weight loss journey is that my mental health is tied to my physical health, if I want to take care of one I have to take care of the other. Otherwise nothing will get done. Anyways!! I hope everyone has an awesome day, I sure will! Edit= I'm losing weight. This is a happy post. [link] [comments] |
| The Old Me would have eaten those cheeseburgers Posted: 08 Jul 2020 07:02 PM PDT Today I was excited to go to the beach and I had slipped breakfast and was starving, so my partner and I went through McD's drive thru. I figured I'd get 2 reg hamburgers, which I heard somewhere was one of their lower calorie options. Figured it was fine since I was going to be swimming and burning more than usual. Anyway, first off, I ordered my partner's meal then my "2 regular hamburgers with no onion", and sW them write cheeseburgers. I didnt care at first but my partner said, hey that's not what you wanted though. So I told the person at the window to make sure they were hamburgers. When we got our meal, we got BOTH the hamburgers and the cheeseburgers - 4 in total. I ate my hamburgers, they tasted amazing ofc since it had been ages since I've eaten fast food, and then I just let the cheeseburgers sit in the bag. I offered it to my partner but he didn't want them, so into the trash they went. Sorry about the food waste, but my point is is that I didn't eat them, when the old me would just have eaten them out of principle since they were technically almost free. TLDR: I didnt eat 2 free mcdonalds cheeseburgers. [link] [comments] |
| [SV] I’ve lost 25lbs in four months, just in time for my 30th birthday! Posted: 08 Jul 2020 09:23 AM PDT This sub has helped me massively with motivation and although I don't post often, I feel this is a big milestone for me. Four months ago I was my highest weight 232lbs (I'm a short 5,5 so it shows) and really sad, I said to my partner that I didn't want to turn 30 like this and I had hoped for better for myself. Well thanks to lockdown and working from home I managed to find time to really prepare and watch my food. I could exercise on lunch breaks and still had time at the end of the day for hobbies. My goal weight for my birthday was 210lbs which I hit two weeks ago, I decided to keep going and try to lose a little extra to make up for what will likely be a food heavy day, I lost an extra 3lbs bringing my weight to 207lbs and I couldn't be happier. I bumped into a colleague yesterday when I was out for my walk and the first thing he said was "you look like you've lost a lot of weight" - that's the first complement I've had from someone who didn't know I was trying to diet! So, I'm taking two days off from counting calories to celebrate and my next goal is to get to under 200lbs, a number I haven't seen on the scale in 6 years! Hopefully I'll be posting again soon with more good news! Good luck to everyone on their journeys [link] [comments] |
| Finally found a good before picture! Posted: 09 Jul 2020 01:42 AM PDT So I've posted about body dysmorphia before and that some days I still see myself as overweight. Luckily I'm super aware that my brain is dumb and ignore it. Lol Someone suggested I look at before and after pics but I had neglected to take a good before pic and avoided cameras like the plague. Tonight I luckily found a good before pic. About 1 month before I started losing weight, I was desperately trying to find a shirt I liked. Before pic I was 205. After pic is 135. Seeing the difference is a huge eye opener about how far I've come! I didn't post on loseit until I was mostly done losing weight but was a big time lurker. I want to thank you all for the silent motivation to keep going! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 08:05 AM PDT The other day someone posted about their SO having the "best metabolism" where it turns out they have great eating habits. I've been fat for a long time. Too long. This morning I made some breakfast burritos with eggs cheese and potato. Not heathy, but a substantial meal to help me have just a snack for lunch. Anyway, what I did was finish my first burrito and get half way through the second where I realized I was full. Just like that posters SO. I'm going to put it in the fridge and have it as a lunch snack later. Normally I would just see 3/4 bites as a "might as well finish it" portion. Small gains for big results... I hope!

| I don't weigh myself, so I can't post this on progresspics but... Posted: 08 Jul 2020 12:11 PM PDT Tell me you guys see a difference!! Not the most flattering pictures, so judge me tender. The second picture was taken today while testing out a new pair of jeans that was too tight when I first bought them. At first I was disappointed because they're still a little snug, but then I took a before and after... The difference (about three weeks' time) is subtle, but to me it feels huge. Not just visually, but mentally I'm starting to feel so much better, too. I'm getting dressed up and going outside more regularly, putting more effort into caring for my appearance, and I'm feeling generally more energized and motivated. My meal plan truly nourishes me, and that's made a huge difference in how much I get out of every day life. It also feels fitting that I post this today, since today marks two weeks without any binges for the first time in a few months for me! I didn't expect the process to be this rewarding this soon, but I'm not complaining, lol. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:44 AM PDT At 316.8lbs I averaged 2017 calories a day and lost 52.8lbs over the first six months. At 264lbs I averaged 1970 calories a day and lost 33.2lbs over the next six months. At 230.8lbs I have averaged 1895 calories and lost 8.8lbs over the past 7 weeks. Goal is to finish something like 1870-1890 until mid Nov of this year. My next goal is to average 1800 calories a day (from mid Nov 2020 to May 2021) and then finally like 1700 from May 2021 to Nov 2021 to hit my goal weight of 175 (obvs with potential adjustment). This is my plan to drop 141.8lbs over 2.5 years (130 weeks). (I also lost 10.8lbs from Jan 2019-May 2019 but I wasn't tracking anything so have not included those in the calorie info above...so it's really a just shy of 3 year plan to lose 152.6lbs) At no point in this journey would I ever cross under 1500 calories a day (I am 5'8 and 45 btw). My point is this. Please stop thinking the solution is starvation. A starvation diet is never going to work. Your body compensates by making you FAR less likely to exercise, it prioritizes critical functions (brain, heart, lungs) and sacrifices everything else to keep you alive. It also has the potential for negative impacts on your heart and puts enormous stress on your body. Also you are WAY more likely to just snap and quit. Calculate your TDEE and -500 or 1000 calories a day. Period. You do not benefit by having a TDEE of 3000 calories and eating 1/3 of that. Believe me, I didn't want this to take 2.5 years and, sure, if I'd planned to average 1700 from the get go I'd be further ahead and finish sooner (which totes fine if that's the way you want to go) but I never ever even vaguely considered a calorie goal under 1500 a day. It honestly breaks my heart to read posts here every day where somebody is eating a starvation diet and cannot figure out why their body isn't responding positively to it. You can absolutely lose 80% of the weight you are gunning for on a reasonable diet. Please do the math and come up with a healthy goal for yourself! [link] [comments] |
| A Few Words from a Skinny Woman Posted: 08 Jul 2020 11:41 PM PDT I'm a 30F with BMI of 18.3 (5'5", 110lbs) I bumped into this community yesterday and continued to read many posts here because it reminds me so much of my dieting days. The perpetrating struggle with weight feels so familiar and I just want to share my story. Growing up, I've always been very conscious of my weight. I was on the chubbier side compared to my schoolmates. It was in Asia and the standard there was really twisted - beautiful girls should never exceed 110lbs. My friends around 5'4" were proud to be under 100lbs. Around 19, I reached 133lb and remained at 125lb. I felt so inferior and insecure I started extreme dieting. I would count every calorie and not eat for three whole days for a "cleanse." I lost 15lbs in 20days. Almost fainted and couldn't do any work at all. I was voted the "most beautiful" in my class according to some school survey. But inside I felt unworthy and anxious. I gained some of the weight back of course. When it did, I was depressed and angry and would start dieting again. In short, it became a cycle that repeated itself for ten years. during which I developed bulimia, binge eating, alcoholism, etc. Food becomes a curse. Eating becomes a secret. Being skinny feels like cheating. I was so jealous of those "naturally skinny" people who never thinks twice about eating. I developed an obsession with food and would sometimes binge eat and throw up after. When there's food on my table, my attention goes there and there's a strong impulse to consume it no matter what food it is. I carried a weigh with me during trips and one of them finally worked up the courage to ask me if I'm having some eating problem. I broke down and cried. At the time I was 112lbs and believed I was fat and had to get back to 107 to feel normal again. We talked and I promised I will try to get better. I was 27 then. But getting better was a process. Things really changed when I moved in with my boyfriend. It was the beginning of a new relationship so it distracted myself from dieting. We pigged out a lot and because we were always together I throw up less and less frequently. One day I told him about this and he just said, it's ok, if you really want to throw up, just go throw up. Strangely after he said that, I threw up less and less. I no longer feel so deeply ashamed of it and the sense of secrecy and helplessness faded. I did gain a few pounds in the beginning and started feeling anxious again. However my boyfriend didn't even notice and gave me tons of compliments. At that time I rarely throw up anymore. I stopped weighing myself everyday. The breakthrough came when I decided to learn to cook. (Because neither of us cooked, we ate out or ordered takeouts everyday. ) Starting from zero, I fell in love with cooking and really develop a deeper bond with food. We eat a bit healthier and lighter. And it's so much fun because I make everything myself and it just tastes much better than fast food . Now we just eat whatever we want, whenever we want No dieting or any restriction. When we don't feel like cooking, we just have McDonald's or takeouts. We still drink alcohol. Probably because my desires are always satisfied, my cravings disappeared. Strangely, I lost weight. I went from the beginning of the relationship from "bulimia + dieting" 115lbs to "eating whatever" 110lbs. And I've kept that weight for 5 months now. I still throw up occasionally after I eat or drink too much by accident but only rarely and I no longer find it compulsive. My mentality around food completely changed and I no longer feel threatened by a cheeseburger. I understand that I deserve to eat (Even junk food) for fun. And that I am actually skinny and, of course, beautiful. Thanks for reading my long story. I hope everyone here feel beautiful and happy :) [link] [comments] |
| Ten months into becoming healthier, and today I realized I *finally* developed some new habits!!! Posted: 08 Jul 2020 05:09 PM PDT I banned myself from soda of any kind approximately 8 months ago, but I really, really wanted a drink from the grocery store today. I was heading back to work, so ideally, it would've been from one of the coolers. The coolers only had soda, coffee drinks, and sweet tea. I LOVE coffee drinks and tea, but I also knew I needed to check the calories first... every single drink was 220+! No. Just no. I didn't even think about it in my head. I walked away and felt empowered instead of trying to justify it. I ended up getting a room temperature sparkling water and happily waited until it had chilled in the work fridge to drink it. Additionally, my husband and I buy meal prepped dinners and eat them through the week. Our prepped dinner for tonight would've tasted sooooo amazing with some garlic bread. You know, the kind that you get frozen that has cheese on it and probably every processed ingredient you can think of to make it taste amazing. To add to my craving, I work in a nursing home as a speech language pathologist. I was working with a resident who has a swallowing disorder today at her lunch. She had a piece of garlic bread on her tray, and that truly jumpstarted the cravings. But guess what? I said NO. Instead of texting my husband to go buy us some bread, some smart part of my brain said, "No, you don't need the bread because tomorrow is your anniversary dinner, and you'll probably eat a lot." And I will, but carefree. Because I can apparently be a responsible adult that enjoys special occasions but can also plan accordingly. Should this be a big deal? Probably not. But I'm happy. I have fought with myself for almost a year on gaining balance. One day at a time! [link] [comments] |
| The Habit Loop, as explained by me Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:56 PM PDT The habit loop is very simple. It looks like this: It forms the building blocks for all the little, automatic things you do each day: brushing your teeth, making a cup of coffee, biting your nails. Let's say you've developed a bit of a snacking habit, something generic like this: Maybe the first few times, it was no big deal. Opening a pack of crackers gave you a little afternoon boost in the workplace. But over time, your brain pathways that execute this task got stronger and stronger, and slowly a habit began to form. It's why you can leave the house, lock the door, and 10 minutes later forget whether you really locked it or not. It's what kicks you into autopilot while squeezing toothpaste or putting on a clean shirt. Now, let's see if we can tinker with the loop. Neither the cue, nor the end result have changed. But now we've swapped out an old, harmful routine for a much more fulfilling alternative. Continue these walks a few more times, and now your brain's learned to associate satisfaction with a quick stroll. Plus, you're in better shape now and can save that pack of crisps for when you're actually hungry. You can also play with the cues, by either discarding an unhealthy one: Or rerouting the same routine to a productive cue: Of course, remember that while cleaning out the treats in your home works for a while, bettering your routines (the first switch I showed you) is how you actually build a sustainable lifestyle. Your health right now determines the quality and length of your entire life, so do not treat a better diet or activity like it has an end point. Sound exhausting? It shouldn't be, so take it little by little. You deserve to be happy, and understanding the loop is a great tool for you to start with. Charles Duhigg explains this further in his book, The Power of Habit. I especially related to the chapter on keystone habits, and immediately thought of my up and down relationship with food over the years. Check out the first chapters if you liked what I wrote here, he frames habit-making in a very scientific, trial & error way instead of that toxic diet mentality we all get stuck in. Thanks for the read, I hope this helped you out. [link] [comments] |
| "Loosing weight is harder then gaining weight!!!1!" Yeah my ass. Posted: 09 Jul 2020 12:29 AM PDT I lied to myself the last years way too often. Thanks to my sister (best sister i could ever ask for) introducing me to cico and other fitness methods, I finally beat that 2 years of feeling like a worthless piece of shit. This is a milestone for me. Make yours too, its not that hard. My chart: 2 Years of lies and 6 Months of work. I wanted to start losing weight in 2018 but I always didnt actually weighted me, I just "assumed" my weight. That explains the rise (because that was the first time I actually went on a scale for years, and oh well. 10kg difference....) What did I do? I cut down on sugar, and started only allowing myself the following: - Coffee with no sugar and 50ml Milk. Tea is also possible but i hate that shit lul. I started counting calories and tracking steps. And it took me just 6 months compared to the 2 years I ate myself unhealthy. Honestly, if you can eat 1 hour per day, you can also walk an hour per day. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 09:42 AM PDT Hello everyone! 28 days ago, I posted on this subreddit asking for advice on how to begin my weightloss journey, and I am super excited and proud to say that since then, I have lost almost 8 pounds! I have been eating WAY less than I used to, and have swapped my usual beverage of soda or sugary juices with iced water. I am averaging at around 11,000 steps per day. I know it's a small number compared to some of the progress that others in this subreddit have made, but losing weight for me always seemed like such a problem and I would get disappointed shortly after starting. I'm glad I found this place to be able to see other people's stories and use it as fuel and the reminder that I can do it. Thank you all so much, and here's to the next 8 pounds!!!

| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:07 PM PDT Tonight and last night I stopped eating after dinner. No second helping. No dessert. No snacks while watching tv. I often go all day without eating but the evening time my appetite comes alive. And I think it's killing my weight loss efforts. So I'm trying this. Yesterday I didn't eat until dinner - then one helping of dinner and I was done for the night. Today I was hungry during the day so I had lunch...and then dinner several hours later. Also worked out both days. Drank 8 glasses of water both days. I feel good. I feel in control. 2 days is nothing but if I can stop eating after dinner (at least 5 days a week) then Im hoping that would be enough to get the scale moving in the right direction. Still weighing myself every day. Not planning to count calories...though I did do some rough numbers today and I think I was right around 1500. Hoping this is maintainable and that it works. F 5'5" cw 185 gw 135-155 (not sure if 135 is possible for me...I'd be happy to be in the 150s again though I'd love to be lower) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 05:37 PM PDT I (28F) am in the military and I've never been a thin girl which I love but after tele-working for 3 months with no accountability of my weight management or working out, I've gained enough weight that I'm not within standards. I love my normally strong frame but I gain weight so easily and I've been so laxed on diet and exercise since I don't have anyone keeping me on track. Tomorrow, I'm bringing all my bad food to a friend's house and going grocery shopping for healthier groceries. I have high risk health problems in a hotspot city for covid so gyms are a bit risky for me right now but I will dig back into in home work outs. I will enjoy a tall glass of wine or two tonight as this'll be my last for a while. If I don't say this into the ether, it does not exist and now i have to hold up to my word. Wish me luck and best of luck to you all in your journeys! Any advice or encouragement will only make me work harder and stay focused [link] [comments] |
| My weight loss journey as a teenager and young adult! Posted: 08 Jul 2020 08:13 AM PDT I've been a long time lurker on this subreddit and have been so inspired by some of your stories that I felt now was the perfect time for me to post this! From a young age I had always been overweight, and unfortunately due to this I was bullied, and the love/hate relationship with my body began! When I was 15yo I was sitting @ 6"1 - 230lbs and I have a few photos of myself around this time and weight, at this point the bullying really ramped up and my desire to be in photos or take any of myself reduced to zero, I have no photos of me past this point until now! Around 17yo my weight gain increased significantly, I was uneducated on calories and what I was putting into my body, and ended up at my heaviest around 290lbs, since then I've been in a very strange mindset around my body and especially taking my shirt off or other people seeing my body, when I was 18/19 I started underfeeding, unfortunately no pictures of this either, I lost +100lbs in the space of just over 7 months and my body was not thanking me for it, I lost a lot of the weight so rapidly that my skin would hang off of me! I lost weight in an attempt to make myself feel good about my body and myself, and ended up looking in the mirror and still not liking what was looking back at me! Since then I have completely self educated myself on food and have been counting calories on and off for 2/3 years, I've put weight back on and reduced some of that shame around loose skin, my mental attitude around my body has been very up and down over the years, but now I genuinely feel on track to hitting my target weight and being happy and healthy the way I am! I am now 22yo @ 6"4 - 205lbs and am really happy sitting at this weight +/-5lbs! I am beginning to the love the body that I am in, and taking care of it properly, one lesson that I learned over this journey is that you should always look after your body, you have 1 life to live and 1 body to do that in! Love your body, no matter your shape or size! And remember anything is possible, our bodies are incredible and can do so much more than you'll ever believe! I'm still too nervous to show these pictures to people that I know, but I thought I could share them and my Journey with some strangers on the internet :) https://imgur.com/a/ic0ts1g (NSFW Warning - Topless Male) Thank you all so much for even reading this story and I hope that it motivates or keeps you guys on track, I believe in all of you! P.S please excuse my messy bathroom hahah [link] [comments] |
| 1 year of weight loss, almost 55 lbs down! Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:02 AM PDT A year ago I finally got serious about losing weight and joined Reddit for the support and inspiration. So happy I made that decision and stuck with it through the ups and downs. I thought it would be fun to do a before and after comparison of my daily routine to appreciate how far I've come! Before- wake up feeling groggy, have a soda to perk me up. Eat an unhealthy breakfast like sugary cereal or pancakes drowned in butter and syrup. Take the bus to work and change into my XL scrubs using the elevators to move around the hospital. Usually packed a fairly healthy lunch because I was embarrassed eating around my co-workers. In the evening eating whatever and as much as I wanted for dinner. Usually something quick and easy because I was so tired and had horrible back pain. Finish off the evening with lots candy or other sweets. No exercise, no care about calories or sugar. No wonder I was so big! Now- usually wake up feeling energized and do a 30 minute workout a few days a week. Eat a small breakfast with at least 20 grams of protein, if it's a rest day I fast until lunch. Walk to work, put on my medium scrubs and take the stairs. Pack a healthy lunch because I want to and have a smaller dinner tracking all my calories. I can put more effort into cooking now that my back pain is gone and I have more energy. Still have something sweet if it fits my calories but I limit myself. So proud of all the changes I made and can't wait to see where I am next year! [link] [comments] |
| Today I talked to a dietician. Posted: 08 Jul 2020 02:58 PM PDT I knew everything that they were explaining. Limiting portions, healthy snacks, realistic goals etc etc. I knew what they were explaining to me but I went anyway because my GP advised it and it was kind of a hail Mary. So we made a meal plan, they did their measurements. And we made an appointment in 7 weeks. And I never been so motivated to do something about my weight! The idea that I'm gonna see that dietician again, and she's gonna run her tests and check on me made me very enthusiastic about making a change. I don't know why but I felt a shame when I was there because I knew everything! I just didn't have the discipline to put it in practice. That shame made me want to prove myself to the woman sitting on the other side of the desk. I have a BMI of 32 with a fatpercentage of 27. I'm not gonna tell anyone about the lifestyle change, I'm not gonna count calories, I'm not gonna weigh myself, I'm just gonna eat what I think is right and don't eat what I think is wrong. And prove that I am able to make some changes. I'll be checking in with you guys after I visit the dietician in seven weeks! Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2020 03:01 AM PDT So a back story on how I got to 300 lbs I lost my best friend and my only sibling that liked me in the same week so I turnes to food and in a few months I gained allot of weight and I started seeing a therapist to deal with the emotional side of things last year, and I started eating right about 6 months ago and my weight hasn't changed at all it just stays the same. My diet consists of salads with fresh leaves picked from my garden, corn, red meats, celery, fruits, and top ramen on occasion. I cut out soda I drink mostly water and on occasion lemonade or milk, I eat 2 times a day very small portions and I walk for hours most days. I just don't know why my body is maintaining its fat. Any advice on how to reach my goal and lose this weight??? [link] [comments] |
| Time to be truly honest with myself... I haven't been losing weight since 2019. Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:49 AM PDT This is what my weight loss journey has been looking like for the past couple years. As you can see, I was able to be very consistent and lost a good chunk of weight in 2018, but I've been slowly gaining it all back... I've been alternating periods of time where I lose weight, then gain it back plus more. I'd follow my CICO plan for a week, then ruin it all by eating way above my maintenance. I'm so ashamed I've let myself go that way. I've been telling myself : "You'll lose it all and you'll look good and feel good about yourself!", but truth is, I haven't been committed enough since. Today is the day I change this mindset and learn how to be disciplined again, after having done it once already two years ago. I will not give up and find excuses this time. Starting weight is 161 lbs (73 kg), height is 5 ft 3 (159 cm) If you guys have any advices, please let me know <3 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 02:55 PM PDT 19M 167cm SW: 102kg CW:67kg started out around 14 months ago. Started with healthy eating. Quickly changed to CICO. Honestly, the best advice I got from this sub was to invest in a kitchen scale. Changed my life. I could tell when I had an increased appetite, not munch on food. Snack reliably and control my cravings/urges. I did IF and CICO combined with 120 minutes of training. It included 45 mins of HIIT and 15 minutes on the treadmill 6 days a week. Balanced my diet initially at 1500 Cal. Went down to 1000(not recommended, ended up with telogen effluviem) and climbed back up to 1500. Mantained 100g of protein everyday though boiled chicken and eggs. Carbs are 40g. Found someone else out of me. Really came out of my shell. Feeling much better myself these days, found some long lost charisma.Transformation [link] [comments] |
| I finally started taking being active seriously after years of kinda halfway trying and I gotta say Posted: 08 Jul 2020 07:40 PM PDT Oh my god I love it, Lifting weights, playing baseball, basketball its all so god damn fun!! I was always the fat kid and never really played sports in high school, In college I made a few lazy diet changes and dropped about 75 pounds. It sounds really bad but I started meeting girls and kinda got complacent for a while and stopped trying to lose weight. Around Thanksgiving last year I decided to finally bite the bullet and start going and lifting the free weights I was afraid of for so long. If you're like this I gotta say give it a try they are a blast! I also have been playing around with the idea of playing baseball for a couple years now but have kept making excuses as to why I should wait another season, this year I finally said you know what lets just go for it. Oh my god dude sports are so fun, I'm out here getting smoked basically 24/7 but it's a blast. When I first started I was basically dying after about 2 innings and I was getting absolutely blown up at the plate dude, just watching dick high fastballs left and right absolutely brutal stuff. I'm gonna go for basketball next I think, I am sure i'm gonna get absolutely torched but I'll tell you what the competition really helps with hitting your goals and staying focused in the gym. I guess my closing to this is you only got so many years so if you are waiting for the right weight or the right time its right now! will you be the big guy or gal on the team/ in the event? Maybe but to that I say who the hell cares, Babe Ruth won an MVP with syphilis you and I can do it while were still working off the fupa, get out there and play we got this! [link] [comments] |
