So sweaty you can't type properly, real effort. Been weighing every day since I know my mate who had results with a PT does that, 9lbs down since I started. Reluctant to spend tomorrow on the piss and gain it all back now

My eyes were filled with sweat.
I’m a sweaty mess in the gym too mahow, don’t worry about it.
Just keep at it and it’ll become routine. Once it’s routine you’ll start to enjoy it.
I've never managed to get a point where I enjoy it, even when I've done weeks of multiple days to try and make it become routine or get "hooked" on it as so many exercise bods have told me I will. I think it's just nature's gym freaks assuming everybody will love it like they do if they just stick at it.
It’s just finding something for you. My cardiovascular fitness is abysmal but whatever I do to go about improving that, I just can’t find that enjoyment, apart from swimming.
Similarly weightlifting, I just don’t understand those who can do a billion reps of bench or curls. The only thing that gets my enjoyment up in the gym is going heavy.
I did actually find some enjoyment in it yesterday.
When I was on the treadmill I found myself lolling at a poser who kept doing reps in front of a mirror and then stopping to fix his hair and take some selfies.
I don't enjoy it at the time, but I do enjoy the buzz afterwards.
Christ I was just trying to give him some motivation.
I’ll try again. It becomes great, you will love it! Losing weight is just an added benefit.
Although getting old can fuck off. Everything hurts.
Cardio at the gym will never be fun. Just lift weights and continue your swimming and try get 10k steps in through the day. (Imo)Originally Posted by Sir Andy Mahowry
I didn't mind the cardio I've been assigned tbh. It went pretty fast with my headphones in listening to music whilst watching a bit of Wimbledon.
The routine I've been set is: 5m on the rowing machine, 10m on a bike, 3 x 10 reps on chest press, 3 x 10 on low row, 3x 10 on shoulder press 5m on TOP (like an arm cycling thing) and then 10m on treadmill.
It's been set by my fitness instructor and it's also taking into account my shitty left ankle (chiropodist thinks I sprained my ankle years ago and it didn't properly heal so it's weak as fuck and I've even sprained it whilst sleeping).
You might as well just go for a decent walk every day whilst the sun is out (ideally first thing in the morning if your schedule allows). Start with an hour, build up to three over a couple of months. It will be easier on your ankle, and the weight you're at it would melt off.
That PT is casually stealing a living.
What is m here? Minutes? Miles? Metres?
I'd go with minutes.
Shindig is correct.
I don’t recommend 2 weeks of All Inclusive before going to a wedding. Got 4 days to shed the 1st5 I’ve put on
A lot of it will be water weight, but still. Cba
that's a strong effort.
I went into holiday mode 3 weeks ago tomorrow and had a few night outs before the holiday itself so it’s basically been 3 weeks on beers, cocktails and 3 course meals for lunch and tea most days.
Bulk szn
I think I'm eating too few calories.
I get bouts of feeling faint now and then, the occasional dizzy spell and I'm always seriously tired around 3-4pm.
I think the two meals I'm eating are sufficient but I need to incorporate a good snack I feel. Other than nuts anyone got any suggestions?
Just deal with it and keep moving.

So far I have lost 13lbs, weighing every day I see the fluctuation and am not as irked by it as it goes up and down. The best loss I have managed consistently in years and whilst I need to lose more it's a nice start.
Inflammation is the real demon once you're at a decent level. I find cutting carbs makes a huge difference.
I've been focusing on the time of day that I'm eating. I used to be terrible for sugary snacks after dinner, but it's been four weeks now of eating nothing else after dinner. Hasn't made a huge weight difference but psychologically I know that I don't need to eat something unhealthy at that time, which is huge for me. Years of bad habits built up.
My other difficult time of day is between 3-6/whenever dinner is, as I will just stuff my face with crap. Potentially that got worse as, in my head, I wouldn't have that stuff after dinner so I could eat it before. So now, between 3-6 I'll allow myself fruit or veg but that's it. Day two and it's definitely harder than giving up the crap in the evening. Will get trickier when I go back to work too I think, but I've got 6 weeks to get into this routine.
8 days til I'm away.
3.2kg off pre-Christmas weight.
It shall be done.
I hit 30kg total lost today
Easily the most I've ever lost and I really think it's going to stick. Still no cravings for crap and I'm still happy going to the gym a lot.
Good shit. Well done.
What do you weigh now, 'how?
30kg? That's incredible.
135.5KG so I've still got a long way to go.
That's still great progress. You've lost 1 Chinese gymnast.
Excellent work.I hit 30kg total lost today

I'm at 4st 5 which Google tells me is under 28kb so you're outdoing me.
Mahow you used to do 2-3 litres of Coke or some shit, no? Did you cut that all out? Also, what led to this beside wanting my acceptance?
About that a day of Coke Zero, yes.
I still allow myself a can a day or two on the weekends.
I was sick with COVID in March and it fucked my appetite for a few weeks, thought I might as well run with it and it's been easier than I thought.
Well in, son.
I’ve done two 24 hour fasts this week, one accidentally and one intentionally, and it’s pretty easy now. Probably helps that I’m very inactive, and don’t particularly enjoy food, but I reckon I could live off one meal a day most days.
I'm a twit
Some days I can manage putting off breakfast but other days I think I would quite easily beat someone to death if I didn't eat something.
Not enjoying food, jeez, that's the dream. For me it's like crack, sex and booze all rolled into one delicious plateful.
Not enjoying food sounds depressing as fuck. It's one of life's great pleasures.
A symptom rather than a cause.
Probably. I don’t really enjoy anything.

This ain't the first time you've said it, get a GP referral for a therapist, Men's Mental Health matters.
Why, do they offer free childcare?

If anyone wants cheap Myfitnesspal premium.
Just change your location to Turkey in app, then go to the website to buy premium. It will show 130 Turkish Lira for a year which is £3.48.
Don't even need a VPN.
You can’t barcode scan with the free version anymore? What a racket.
You can.
No macro breakdown is why I paid.
Lost 2 stone as of today, plenty left to shift though my wedding ring is a bit loose on my finger which is unexpected.
Well in Lofty.
Keep it up, lad.
After years of just lifting weights and otherwise being a lazy twat, I've decided to take up running again instead. My old chest issues cropped straight back up though (tightness after a few minutes) so I've gone full Klopp and got me one of them bad boy steroid inhalers from the GP.
I started trying to run again recently. Back to couch to 5k. Got to the end of week 1 and had quite a lot of ankle pain. Went to a physio to see about it and he said I've got flat feet. Told me to get orthotics (insoles with arch support for the unaware - I didn't know either). Got some and wore them for a bit when just walking around to see if they helped and they just gave me foot pain in a different place. Fuck's sake.
