The 'I Feel Like Being Healthier' Thread!

(1/64) > >>

J-cob9000:
I was thinking today how out of shape I am. I could stand to be skinnier. In fact, I am not comfortable with my body at all. I would very much like to be skinnier and more healthy. Sometimes my stomach just feels... nasty.
I've dieted and tried exercising before. I failed. I thought, maybe, just maybe it's because I didn't have anyone who cared or at least acted like they did to cheer me on and tell me not to quit. So I made this thread since people in real life would just forget about it or make fun of me.

This thread isn't just for me. Anyone here who wants to get healthy with me, post along with me. Tell us what you had for lunch, how much exercise you did. We'll all encourage each other and we just might get somewhere.

Tyler:
This is about 3 weeks early this year. Usually this thread appears in the form of New Years resolutions. I could afford to get into a bit better shape, but that would require giving up my unhealthy lifestyle, and I am not ready to do as such.

Ladybug:
I like the thread idea! I have often thought about how maybe getting into shape would be easier if I wasn't completely alone in it, so I guess a thread like this could be beneficial. I was in a fairly decent exercise routine for a little while, but exams came and ruined it all for me. But when I get home, we have a stationary bike in the basement that I am planning on utilizing, so I at least don't gain the weight associated with Christmas food. I would benefit greatly in oh so many ways from getting into shape and losing some weight.

I've been thinking bout making this same thread for a while now.

Around mid-april this year I went to the doctor and weighed in 244 lbs, which is the most I've ever weighed. My weight had gone up 85 lbs in the past 5-6 years. After exercising on and off for the past 8 months or so I've managed to get down to 205ish. Now I want to drop the last 15 lbs and then get really toned up, so count me in.

I think every time a forum member hits the gym or works out they should post. If people see others are working out they'll feel inclined to do so as well.

jhocking:
Were there any sports you did when you were younger? That might help, to do something that you are already used to doing a lot of. Like, I would totally give up after two days if I tried to run for exercise, but it was pretty easy for me to get back into swimming when I decided to start exercising again because I was on the swim team in hs.

Meanwhile, a large part of why I never bothered to exercise before, and why I started exercising again recently, is because before I only thought of it as something people did to lose weight and I have no need to lose weight. However, I've had a number of health issues recently, so when I started thinking of exercise as important to overall well-being I suddenly felt a great need to exercise. I guess what I'm saying is to consider your own motivations, because having the right reason will help you stick with it.

Also, having a gym across the street from me helps a lot, but that probably doesn't help you any now does it.
