I hate running. :mjcry:

I need to do more long runs myself.

Running consistently and nonstop is THE single hardest thing I have ever learned to do physically.:sadcam::hubie::whew::deadrose::damn:

I do it at night cuz I live in the desert
I definitely pace myself so I may just be jogging
And yeah I was slacking and took like a few months off but I pushed myself to get back into it
I just set a time and get up to go outside

got my ass back in the week ago or so. before that i didn’t walk into a gym or work out for 3 years.

i’m too embarrassed to post my starting point from a week ago, but i’m already seeing progress from for the most part eating healthy, eating more and taking supplements and vitamins.. aside from a few bad food choices the past few days i feel bad about i’m feeling good and look forward to watching body and feeling it go through changes

what makes me feel so good and positive about this time around in the gym is i have direction and my boyfriend is such a great teacher. what pushed me away last time was i had no idea what the fukk i was doing, felt over whelmed and going into a gym surrounded by people in shape and knowing what they are doing feels defeating. it’s reslly hard for me to still go in there because of my social anxiety and self esteem but he really helps me get my head in the right place, focus, doesn’t allow me to make excuses or say no and motivates me.

Went from 300 lbs to 237 lbs since March. Ive had the worst diet known to man for basicslly my whole life (never even ate a salad or vegetable until about 3 uears ago). Since 2011 I've been off and on trying to lose weight and bouncing between 300+ lbs to 250 lbs. I'd do right for a minute, lose a lil weight, and then backslide.

In March I was 300+ lbs with no health issues. After listening to Slim Thug talk about getting healthy, I decided to really be dedicated and I saw this challenge somewhere on Facebook. I finally got tired of how i looked and felt with bad eating habits and of playing Russian Roulette with my health. I just pigged out March 5th and went cold turkey the next day.

Before, even when I cut out fried foods I was still eating potatoes, bread & cereal. Well, I followed the above challenge and the pounds just started flying off. I'm talking like 5 lbs every 5 or 6 days before I even started doing daily cardio a month later.

Here's my last 5 years tracked with MyFitnessPal. I was so big I didn't even weight myself once I saw 298 lbs on a scale so please believe I was actually 300+ lbs easy in March.

Right now I'm at around 238-ish lbs. I actually got down to 235.9 lbs and broke my eating habits on purpose during vacation last week to see how my body would react and how much I would gain from "cheat meals." I didnt really gain but like a pound but it showed me that breads really are the main thing that stick to me and I really have to avoid it.

I halfway expected it but it still was weird that I really got no enjoyment from the fried foods and bread. Even though it taste great I could tell my body wasn't feeling it and I didn't get anywhere near the "high" that I might have normally got. I reeeealy have no desire for that stuff now.

I mainly just eat homemade smoothies (Im in the Krogers produce section faithfully), lite ceasar salads, chicken/salmon/steak with Mrs. Dash seasoning (little to no sauce) and nuts.

I promise all you gotta do is eat right and be active and the pounds gonna come off. Eating really is 90% of it. I dont call it being on a diet cust those don't last. Really has to be a lifestyle change. Im addicted now cus I feel great and now I'm wearing XL and M shirts. I aint worn that since HS.

The good problem I have is I cant really buy clothes at the moment since Im steady losing. My 2XL's got me looking like Dem Franchize Boys and that's a no go.

UPDATE: I'm currently 223.9 lbs as we speak.:blessed:

I run about 2 miles a day, stick to eating right and feel the best I've ever felt my whole life....and I haven't even done any push ups or weight training yet. Now I wanna get around 210 and firm all the way up. I indulge in "cheat" meals on special occasions but I dont skip out on my runs. The ill part is that stuff doesn't taste nearly as good anymore.


YOU CAN DO IT MANE!!!
