My "abs" are forming an Eclipse on my penile area

[TheSaint]

time to get back to the gym....and i just cant make myself.

Best I can tell you to do is what I did. MAKE yourself go, just one day. Run on a treadmill (or stationary bike, if you have bad knees or ankles) for about 10 minutes (or a mile, either way). Then, just start doing basic stuff. Bicep curls, triceps extensions/push-downs, bench, whatever. Go in with a plan, but you don't have to stick to it strictly or anything. Stay in there for about an hour, the endorphins kick in, you feel amazing. This feeling will cause you to go again and again to where you are basically addicted to that "high" you get when you finished a great workout.

If/when you decide to work out, hit me up via response on here or PM. I got a pretty sweet workout I am on right now. Loving it. Of course, a good diet is important (JUST AS important as the exercise).

I'm a PE major and literally JUST got done with a unit last week on nutrition.

Yea my gut is starting to get out of hand.

What's dumb is, I only weigh 165 but I'm 5'7, so the fat has nowhere to go so it just hangs.

I run the stairs at my house 2-3 times a week. It's a fuging workout for me.

Your quality of life will matter in a few years based on what you do today. The more weight you put on the more strain you put on your back and joints. It also has an impact on your psyche. If time is a big issue, get some good home equipment and don't use it as a clothes rack. Caloric intake is also important. Eat less and/or healthery food.

i just got up and ran at 6am......first time in a year....40 minutes, not a bad start. its damn cold outside.

I was at 293 pounds, im proud to say iam 220 now! I just stood on that scale and said "fug this. no more" and i havent gained a pound since that day. I am 6'1....trying to get to bout 200. Im in better shape now than i was playing inside linebacker in college 3 years ago

Get out and run a few miles (obviously it won't happen overnight) and do other exercises. You do not have to go to the gym to lose weight (or even gain muscle).

Maybe my back hurts so much b/c I'm getting fat.

I just need to strengthen the muscles in my back I think. Definitely need to get rid of this muffin top.

TarPanther does have a good point

I'm losing weight! Woot!!! I weigh 200 lbs now, less than I did senior year of HS.

I will say this, get a workout buddy. I recently got my two friends to sign up at my MMA academy, and with them going, I'm now at the gym 3 or 4 nights a week, as opposed to 1, 2 or sometimes none without them.

Everybody has a moment when they can either decide to do something about their weight, or give up and slide.

For me it was 8 years ago, trip to Mexico with my wife.

Drinking and smoking on the beach, my fat ass decides to go parasailing.

Really wanted to use the cool Spiderman parachute they had. (why that was cool? I was drunk, that's why.)

So i give the guy some dough and say to the little guy "I wanna be Spiderman"

He pretty much says "sorry senor, you are way too big for that chute." He hauls out this giant old smelly Army surplus chute and has to rifle around in a huge bag for the xxxl lifejacket.

That was fugging IT for me.

Since then I work out every day.

I hate it, but I hated being fat and out of shape more.

Quit smoking. Don't drink much and now thanks to the kids I have to work out really early in the morning. Hate that with a passion, but being fat is worse.

I had a dickie-do too. Where my gut stuck out further than my dickie-did.

Not any damn more.

my abs are extremely well protected and insulated year round!

ya, I don't like, I'm very self conscious about it, but I still haven't had that...I need to change this poo...moment!

[tarheelpride]

Is it sad that I'm 20 and I feel the same way most of you do? No motivation/no "this is it" moment? i'm probably up to 260 and 5'9'' but you couldn't tell it looking at me

Maybe my back hurts so much b/c I'm getting fat.

thatll do it. i lost about 15 lbs and my back was good as new untill i put 10 lbs back on, now i can feel the lower backache creeping back in.
