Does anyone else get some sort of satisfaction out of having a nice set of workout clothes? I feel so much better before, during, and after my workout when I have my favorite pair of workout underwear, socks, and tank on than i do whenever I just grab a pair of old shorts and a tshirt. Also, been really fucking bad on my calories and workout routine lately. gonna change that and start incorporating 5Ks into my off days again now that it's getting a little cooler.
I don't wear tight/cute workout clothes bc of an incident in college my freshman year. I took an aerobics class and the room we were in had a glass wall. Guys would come up to the glass and fucking stare at us and when we would have water breaks or were leaving they harassed us. Myself and 2 friends wanted to drop out but we had missed add/drop. I've worn baggy clothes to workout in since then. I shouldn't still be bothered by it but I am.
dudes are so gross I'm sorry, there is a subreddit I think multiple ones maybe of posting girls' asses in yoga pants, and in general the comments guys make about yoga pants are disgusting
I'm trying to train to take the firefighter physical test in November and today I feel like quitting forever bc exercise trash and I'm so out of shape it feels like I'll never get better lol
got on my bike yesterday for the first time and did 16 miles. it made remember what i love so much about biking and got me really excited to get back into it. it's been fun getting into running this summer, but biking is what i really love.
i use run keeper to keep track of my runs and bike rides. if anyone wants to add me on there, i think you can just look me up by name, ben kunstman.
I Just bought shirts from the normal ladies' section of Walmart (fuck yeah clearance). I've literally never purchased anything that wasn't plus sized. I'm pretty sure I was in a size 16 as a 12 year old. I don't even know what my life is right now.
started up whole30 again on monday. need to buy a lot more veggies, but i'm already starting to feel better
I'm below 180, which only means I've lost and I'm still 90% gelatin, but I'm starting to look damn good
i would LOVE to get back to 170 again. 165, even. i'm scared to see how much weight i've gained this summer so i've been avoiding the scale. i'm a pretty decent judge of my weight based on how a certain pair of pants fit, and i don't like the number those pants are suggesting.
I'm not sure what my ideal weight is, lightest I've been as an adult is around 175 but I've always had a paunch or whatever and also I have no muscles
My doctor wants me between 165 and 185, but if above 175 more muscularly so. I'm in that range... barely... but not in the muscular way the number he wants would dictate.
:D Goal is 180, but tbh I'm kind of wanting to go lower than that now that I see what 295 looks like. But we'll see. I'm thinking I'll re-evaluate after skin removal (inevitable, for sure). Onward!
I've been guiltily avoiding this thread for so long but I'm changing that. I'm going to commit to finally losing the weight that I gained back when I was 16 and try to make myself slim again. I'm in kind of a transitional phase in life and it'll give me something to work for and feel good about. I've on and off lost weight for a while but this is gonna be for real this time Thread, I'm counting on you to keep me in check!!
Getting back to school has completely disrupted my routine and piled on stress, which has been bad, bad, bad for my progress
Decided to finally get it together and lose some weight. I'm 6'2 and have gone from 268 down to 259 in about a month alone from completely cutting soda and hitting the gym 4-5 times a week. Cutting the Diet Cokes and stuff has made a big difference, can finally fit my thumb and finger around my wrist haah
One of my favorite philosophies about exercise is the term, "a year from now you'll wish you started today". Keep that in mind when you're feeling unmotivated!
Yes. Pop is really, really bad for you. I used to drink 6-7 pops a day and one day after college quit cold turkey. Didn't have a pop for 4 straight years. Now, I'll occasionally drink a pop every couple of weeks - if that. You're on the right track, ESPECIALLY if you're hitting the gym 4 to 5 times a week. That's key. I posted earlier in this thread that I lost 36 pounds (I'm 6'1" and was 216 and got down to 180 - which was my original weight before my senior year of college) by quitting fast food, drinking pop and hitting the gym 3-5 times a week.
So... I just cleaned out my sweats drawer because I ran out of room in my tshirt drawer. For giggles, I tried putting on one of my old pairs of sweats and I was able to fit both of my legs in one pant leg. I kept the outfit I wore in my preop picture, so I'll have to give that another shot here soon. Maybe once I hit 200lb loss. It's a good time.
