I'm actually going to go to the gym tomorrow. I've never been to one. My anxiety is off the charts, lol!
But at least my sister is going with me.
Forums Serious Talk losing large amounts of weight
@Neko: Have a good time at the gym (well, as good as you can working out.)
I got a huge burst of energy Friday and walked for an hour. I didn't think I could do it with my health issues. I am pretty proud of myself. I walked for a half hour today as well. I am going to try to make this a thing.

I just started (seriously)working out myself! I've lived a very sedentary life..
I just started seriously going to the gym last week! :D I kind of just go for the lessons.. I don't like doing cardio or body weight exercises since I can just do those at home. I want to take advantage of what the gym has to offer that I can't get from working out at home.
Luckily the gym membership came with 1 free personal trainer session which was VERY helpful!
I've been trying to do a squat challenge last month and I've come to find out I've been doing it all wrong.. My form wasn't what it should have been. I hope doing all those bad squats didn't ruin anything lool. I learned other exercises too!
The personal trainer recommended getting more one on one sessions for a few months because I'm a total beginner. I'm not going to but I may someday in the future if I have the schedule and don't mind spending money. XD
KEEP AT IT! You won't regret it! You're still young. (: Starting out it may be slow, but in the long run you'll be feeling and looking better.

I walked for a little over 2.2 miles today. I got angry at life. I have been going to therapy for my Intermittent Explosive Disorder. I have been doing fairly alright. The impulse to punch first, ask after is hard to deal with. Part of my behavioral problems as a kid, and admittedly, even now is my ADHD. But my therapist suggested that I try exercise when I get angry, once I am able to control my split second urge to hulk smash. So, I did. I walked over 2.2 miles today. I felt better when I came home.
I am going to try to use this to my advantage to help out with the weight loss.
I lost...-backtracks- 49 pounds last time I checked in this thread. Since then I have lost 7 more, totaling 56. Whooot.

You're very brave for opening yourself up to everyone like this. I commend your proactivity! It's awesome that you're taking steps to better your physical health. No workout is too small, it's all progress! Congratulations, and good luck on your journey! You've got the right mindset to kick your goals in the butt! c:
P.S. diet is a large part of weight loss, but that doesn't mean you have to kick delicious foods to the curb. Try to eat lots of fruits, veggies and protein with little carbs.

@Totalanimefan: Thank you. : ) The weight loss gets easier when you figure out how to do it. It's different for everyone and for me, I try to eat more nutritional foods but I also don't cut myself off from foods like sweets completely. The key to this is just learning how to enjoy without over doing it. Your body still needs fats and sugars after all but moderation is crucial. Even too much of a single healthy food is not good. I heard that the only food that you could live solely off of is avocado. But avocado is stupid. Lol.
I have learned ways to keep snack portions under control. I think I have said it already but put some handfuls of chips in a baggie, put the bag of chips away and bring the baggie back to your seat. It eliminates mindlessly eating an entire bag.
I am lactose in intolerant, but I still try to get enough dairy, as long as I have enough lactaid.
I also eat several smaller meals a day instead of three big meals. I will have 5 or 6 small meals. It makes me feel feel like I am eating more but I'm eating the same as three big meals, just more often. It satisfies my craving to constantly stuff my face hole.
The anger issues are working out okay. I was a bit of an ass today but I just had surgery on Friday and I am bored, uncomfortable and homesick so I am admittedly irritable. Though it's not an excuse and I need to cut my shit.

I'm actually so happy to see a topic like this posted here. I'm struggling with losing weight currently. I would like to lose around 100 pounds but it won't seem to budge. I have a doctor's appointment in July so they can hopefully help me figure out what's wrong. But I love the opportunity to talk to other people who are trying to lose as well without judgement!
How are you doing on your journey as of now?

pls don't
@Apollo Im Burning: having fun things you like is important too , denying yourself treats every now and again only makes it harder .
@Neko:
May I ask you about your beverage habits?
Like, do you drink soda?
My girlfriend and I both have weight issues too.
I'm trying to get her to at least rotate between soda and some healthier options.
Like carbonated waters and drink mixes with bottled waters.
