I couldn’t find a board that was just to help each other stay on top of out fitness goals. I thought we could start one here. It makes is so much easier to log things sometimes and report back to each other. Lets go workout/diet, we can do it!

I’ve found and apartment I’m interested in the location and terrain will allow me to do a lot more biking if I can secure the place. Until then I’m going to keep doing what I have been doing for the last year.
This is a good thread. Come august I might have something to report.

I defiantly want to keep backpacking but move most days to calisthenics right here in my place. That way I will have more time to run errands on the bus and not miss my work-out. Trouble is they are very difficult for me and knock me out but I want to do this pretty much everyday when I’m not in the woods 
300 Jumping Jacks
120 Squats
80 Sit-ups
50 Push-ups

I haven’t done so much excercise in my life

I’ve been walking back and forth briskly in my room for two hours a day - one in the morning, and one in the late afternoon. As soon as school is out I am going to walk up and down this great big hill over by the school. I sure can’t do what I used to could. I mowed the lawn yesterday, and I was kind of drained by that. I think it was because I stayed in my hot street clothes and didn’t switch to shorts. The exercise I’m doing now is about what is right for me.

I haven’t been really dieting, but I have cut out some of the worse things I eat. I’ve cut way back on my sugar consumption. I got blood work done, and I was close to becoming diabetic. My cholesterol was high too.
This message goes to all:
Me neither! In fact, except of the lack of motivation I used (and use) to have, whenever I exercise I eat more afterwards. Other than that, because of anhedonia, I suffered when exercising especially in the past and never felt euphoria afterwards apart from a couple of times that I was a bit happier.
Also, a tip about diet for all: If you are not very hungry, don’t eat at all, because if you eat, you won’t eat only a little if you are bulimic, but a lot, which is proven to be true by researches, and I also have observed it myself!!

Been fasting. It never ceases to amaze me how you can be starving and once you get past a certain point not being hungry at all. He didn’t call so I guess I didn’t lose enough weight fast enough. As hard as I work I should be making more headway…i think the meds are slowing me down. Had this revelation about crying cows and my bff wouldn’t touch the stuff.
Gave up sugar on boxing day
i’ve lost 20 lbs so far.
I need to exercise more - got a jawbone - it helps - i am really aiming for 10000 steps a day - don’t always manage it yet
would like to add to that, but in small steps

That’s Great! Sugar is a big packer. Going shopping at the thrift store for confidence. God wants me thin door fall so.
i had a walk this morning about an hour maybe,
and then the gym was an hour in there and did,
10 mins on the treadmill and on the bike, did some lifts and pushes and tried the rowing machine, i feel i could have done a bi more tho bc i didnt finish my full work out plan,
i get this kind of electronic key that i plug in and it monitors my progress but today i didnt tick all of the boxes on the program and i never reached my limit like i did last time, last time i burned 366 calories and today was only 169 calories so i really need to try harder,
i think i was just worried about the walk home bc last time i had an anxiety thing affecting me on the walk back so i need to be careful, slow and steady is the name of the game.

What is a rowing machine?
I love excersize and get addicted to it when I do it daily,
I had a succseful diet about 6 years ago and cant get back on it.
I blame my parents for putting priority of the house over everything. If something is getting dirty and needs maintence or fixing in the house my parents develope thier own schizophrenia and cant clear thier minds until someone fixes, cleans or maintains what is bothering them about the house.They go crazy until it is taken care of, start screaming and very mad and cant stop having these attacks until the issue is taken care of. Then when that issue is taken care of there are two or three more issues and five more starting.
That’s I think the real reason I got so big. I lived at my mom and there was so much dysfunction and feelings of instability. I feel similar now because I’m really paranoid but I’m fighting to continue to exercise. I’m fasting now. Like I just wanted to buy a cooked chicken but then I saw this beautiful thin girl at the traffic light. So I bought some potato soup instead (didn’t feel like cooking). I’m looking at it but I am fighting the urge.
Sugar will definitely screw you I found a box of cake mix at the back of the cupboard maybe a month ago.
I made 12 cupcakes and ate them over about 3 days they put on like 5 pounds and that’s a lot for 1 week.
I also wasn’t lifting or riding all winter so my metabolism slowed to a stop.

I just went shopping for new clothes I cant afford for confidence. Looking at the pictures I can see why people still hate me. I’m just not going to eat that potato soup.

I’m sure that they don’t hate you.
Hate is a very strong emotion.
I don’t even think that Hitler hated Jewish people, he was just a meth addict that was given the world as a stage to act out his delusion on.
No they hate me. Might as well be dirt.
Well I think that everyone where I’m at hates me because I won’t be like them.
I figure that it’s their problem not mine.
Screw them.
