Out of shape & lazy Options

[Batman722]

I'm getting fatter everyday and I can't stop eating.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

yeah, you are gross.

If you get any bigger your utility belt wont fit.

Ps: Amy you are motivating all of 6gc to get fit! woo 6gc fit club 07.

I haven't been to the gym all week, oopsie. I'll get back on track today or tomorrow. My problem is when i go it's the busiest time. SO many people half my time spent is waiting for machines I get so angry.

Now that's a good girl Just don't overdo it.
Water does indeed do wonders if you try to lose weight, my dad lost 35 lbs by drinking water, instead of coffee and softdrinks.

Let my dazzle you with my weight, a magic 97 lbs at 5'7".
My workout? Eating what I can, when I can and sitting on my bum... I'm a very bad example, I know, and that does indeed say 97 lbs, no typo.

Omg Im 5'7" too, & the lightest I have ever been (probably when I was 14) WAS 115. dang you are THIN! lol I would be jealous...but I dont wanna be a stick like that. hehe I want to keep my curves & get really toned

I have been drinking tons of water per day, tons. & occasionally a small glass of fat free milk. I cant even remember the last time I touched softdrinks or anything like that. Nor do I want to *bleh* Because anything that is going to cancel out one of my work outs, I see no point to it!

i'm getting back into it after 2 years off.

bike'd 26miles last weekend (half off road, half on road) did it in 3hours.

my bum bones have just about stopped being sore now so gonna go again this weekend. Think I need a softer saddle!! lol.

That is really really good! Congrats 26 miles in 3 hours....daaaamn. I knwo you were biking but STILL!! "Im not even mad, im impressed!" (lol sorry, quoted a movie)

Hey dont forget to add good eating habits as part of your program. Otherwise if you eat crappy foods or eat too late at night, it will make your workouts useless.

Ive been told to eat more meals in small portions a day. I did and it worked pretty well for me. I ate breakfast, midmorning snack (something a protien bar) , lunch, mid afternoon snack and an early dinner.



I also stopped eating fast foods. SOOOO Hard though....

Thats all I do is eat healthy stuff I even have a "work out log" I write down every day how much I weigh (morning & night since it will vary) how long I run & how many miles I do. I also keep track of how many calories/fat calories I have supposedly burned according to the treadmill (I wear at least 2 layers so i better be burning a ton lol), & last but not least I write down what I eat & drink daily. Writing it down helps me keep on track plus I like to see my progress If I weigh more one day than another day Ill say "WHOA how much did I eat that day!?" & then I can go look hehe

Ps: Amy you are motivating all of 6gc to get fit! woo 6gc fit club 07.

Hi Tina! Wellllll I dunno if Im motivating anybody but if I am then wooohoooo. Lets get together this summer & show off our beach bodies Im sorry that ur gym is always so busy Come work out w/ me. All I have is a treadmill, row machine, & bench press though. If you wanna join my "gym" ill try & get more stuff for you lol

Im kinda mad today, I was SO excited for the weekend since I can work out more w/ out being distracted by work! But last night after running my left leg was killing me. I have been limping around on it all day today too Its not a good work out pain though... its a bad pain! So I guess Ill do some weight lifting today hmmm? And maybe the row machine... as long as my leg wont mind

[Crzybakerdog]

thank god for genetics, 5'9 130 might look small to most people but im betting body fat is at 3 % or less. Started working out again doing protein shakes and overall better eating trying to bulk up to no avail yet. I'm a hell of a lot stronger though now for working out about 4 days a week for 2 months solid now, weight lifting/running can make anyone into a machine. My goals are to start training for golf season and also try to get back into sprinting and see if i can hit my 4.65sec 40 time like i did highschool. good luck to all for fitness goals.

[Bigwaaagh]

but I dont wanna be a stick like that

Lol, Me neither, that's why I'm trying to gain weight, but that isn't easy with my metabolism. Oh well, I guess I'll go eat something now...

[vsideboy]

well there is a charity cycle event in july and its 205miles off road across 3 days, so its 80 miles each the first 2 days and 45 the third day.

Not sure if I will be fit enough by then but it would be nice to try. thats why i've started practicing.

bit poor this week, only did 6.5 miles on friday and same 6.4 on saturday.

And I can't see how biking is less than walking, I put more effort into biking than I do walking, unless you mean power-walking then it might be more. but normal casual strolling doesn't take hardly anymore effort than sitting watching tv i don't think! lol.

[spolski07]

i swim like 4 miles a day roughly...
so where does that put me?

~ Update since March 1st ~

Last Friday (March 2nd) I over did it w/ the running & hurt my left leg. I had to limp around on it for 3 days! Its all better now. But instead of doing 6 miles a day on the treadmill Im back to doing 2. (dont wanna over do it again) My leg seems fine so far. I think the problem was that I wasn't stretching out good enough before & after.

Anyway I've lost 3 more pounds so that makes it a total of 13 so far, yay! It should be more like 16 buuuut I couldnt frikin run I have been doing other exercises though so that has helped. Plus Im still eating healthy so that helps a lot!

Okay... im done, just wanted to share

I actually finally found a diet that made me drop the pounds!!

I lost about 30lbs in just over 2 weeks....

I started it all off with a bad case of appendicitis. Being the dedicated dieter I am, I let this sit around for a few days until the appendix ruptured.
Now, Im no pussy, so I waited around to be sure all of the poison in my system was filling me nicely before I went to the ER.
Once in the ER I made sure to confuse the doc by saying that I had bad stomach pains... I mean. I didnt want them to find the real problem too quick and ruin my diet.
After about 12 hours of a ruptured appendix and a nice heavy case of peritonitis I felt it was time to let them cut me open.

The infection and poison made sure that I would not be eating any food for 7 days and then only liquid for another 7.

2 weeks later.. I went from about 245lbs. to 212 lbs.

I know this is probably considered an "Extreme" diet.... but you cant argue with results!


unfortunately.... it was mostly muscle.... hehe

Hopefully by may or june I will be healed up enough to go back to the gym and get some of that muscle back....

Good Job Amy!

Ive just been keeping up with my trainer. It ws nice to hear him say that one of his female clients is jealous of me cuz she thought she was his strongest client. Booya I got her beat tho! :-) I gotta get some more cardio in but the stress with my ex has kept me from getting to the gym cuz im trying to make things right with him. My eating habits are gradually getting better. i dont really want to just stop eating crap food all together cuz then ill just end up binging. So i limit it and am weaning myself off of it like a drug addict lol. so i only eat mcdonalds twice a day now - JK!! lol.

Amy - make sure you get some strength training in there :-)

PS - thanks for the email on snack ideas

Wanna keep the good shape? Amm start playing tennis I will run you off like nothing else

[95CelicaST]

When I worked at this plastics manufacturing death warehouse I was sweating all day. After a year there I was down to 186 with my steel toe boots and all my gear. I was happy about that. After I got my job in the IT dept of the school district my weight went right back up to 210. All this sitting, not physically demanding in any form, so I joined a gym with the lady. Its been 2 weeks since we joined and I have dropped down to 197 in full attire, which for my frame is good. I am 5'9" and there isn't much more for me to lose. I have come to terms that my waist will never see size 30 pants, just because my bone structure will never allow it, but I'm happy. It feels good to work out at the end of the day.

[96bluevert]

working at where i am now, im always on my feet and walking throughout the 3 floors we have, so that's kind of my way of keeping in shape because i dont get much time outside of work and school. but it works, ive lost a few pounds in the two weeks ive been working there

[cnelson]

this week i've done; 9 miles of walking.

playing golf for school, and i went out 4 times this week so i would say 9 is a safe number.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Amy you still keeping up on things?

This week ive really got a hold on the working out thing. Monday did 45 mins at the gym. Tuesday walked to and from work which is about 4 miles. This morning woke up at 4:45am and drove 15 mins up north to meet a friend at her gym and do 45 mins of cardio then came home and walked 2 miles to work.

So i dont know if its really working out but its definitely activity! Feeling pretty good. Hopefully I can keep it up for the rest of the week and thru the weekend cuz I think the weekend break would not be good for me.
