Hi, my name is Vri. My goal is to lose my prego weight... from 2 years ago (haha!) I want to go into alternative modeling and cosplaying, but sexy cosplaying. Most importantly just feel comfortable and look badass naked! Bumping uglies while cosplaying is like a fantasy for me. One I will achieve. Anyways, this log is a daily log. I will be posting... + weight in pounds + measurements in inches (chest, waist, and hips) + summary of my day My dreams will come true, and I will defeat my demons. Woo!

Welcome to Alias investigations! This is my battle log/journal to help me keep accountable, plot out my long term goals and so I can be in a better place for the when the time comes to start my first challenge.

Hello fellow rebels! I’ve been visiting the NF website for over a year and I have preached it to many people (specialy the “Beginner body weight work outâ€. But, like many others, I sometimes fall back into old habits and I haven’t fully achieved my goals yet. Thus, I decided to join the community and today is my first step: starting this forum post! So here are my goals and my strategy on how to achieve it. Feedback is more than welcomed! Goal: Reduce weight (fat) by 5kg whilst losing body fat, not muscle Strategy: Focus on healthy clean eating with portion control and minimum “treats†until goal is reached PLUS strength training. Tactics: train 3-5 days a week (currently doing 5-6, but makes it difficult to manage time and cook meals, meaning I end up not eating right) Walk 20 mins a day (to and from work) Cut down sugar and simple carbs (a bit paleo, but not full because it’s too extreme for me at the moment) Eat when I’m hungry, not bored/stressed, etc. So here is go. Day 1 Wish me luck! P.S.: I’m off for a run and some body weight exercises.

Character Sheet Name: Kitsu Race: Half Elf Gender: Female Height: 5'4.5" Weight: 200lb (approx) Class: Level 0 Rebel Attributes: STR: 0DEX: 0STA:0CON:0WIS:0CHA:0SPI:0 Measurements: Arm: 13.5"Waist:36.5"Chest:40"Hips:46"Belly: 44"Thigh: 27" Body fat %: 45.29 GOALS: Eat Good​I'm trying to follow a primal diet (paleo + dairy) because meat is yummy and I suffer for IBS and i find wheat to be a trigger. It was easy for me to ditch the other grains too. I miss crisps and chips (read fries my American friends) the most. Lose WeightI want to get to 147lb which is a healthy weight for my height. But i know that not everyone weighs equal so a UK dress size 10 is my size goal weight be dammed when I get there. Learn to Swim​I'm a nervous swimmer, I freak out when i cant feel the floor with my feet. I can do about four lengths in a pool before i'm tired out. I'd like to get that to a respectable number by September. I have be going in the sea but I find it hard to swin in a wet suit I'm all floaty like a rubber ducky. Be fitter​I have asthma, but I'm sure that its because of my weight. I'd like to be able to do more tings without wheezing and getting out of breath. Get running​Because its free! I'd like to do one of those couch to XXk Challenges I've been going on the treadmill every now and again at the gym but its so boring. I'm living in a coastal town and a lot of people run n the beach, I'd like to join them! Try Yoga​They offer classes at the gym and i still have three weeks left on my membership so I really want to try this before I lose the opportunity. Kickboxing?Because I loved doing it a few years ago. I'd like to get my level of fitness up a notch or too before I try this again though as I recall it being really really hard work. The Plan: Follow a primal diet, walk everyday, drink more than 2 litres of water a day and follow the beginner body workout at least three times a week. I'm also going swimming in the sea but that is a weather dependent activity. I'm not sure if I should be planning to do more, I'm very good at biting off more than I can chew and then failing so I'm trying to be cautious this time.

Hello fellow Rebels! Here I will detail my journey through the world of physical self-improvement. Feel free to react, give advice and opinions and whatnot. First some quick body statistics: Age: 19Length: Approximately 1,90 meters (I believe that is about 6'2", and I could be off a few centimeters).Weight: Approximately 69 Kg (about 10,9 stones or 152 lbs).BMI: 19,1. As Steve has said numerous times, 'appearance is a consequence of fitness', and I wholeheartedly agree with this. That's why my goals are not based on weight loss (I'm not that heavy anyways, so that wouldn't do me any good), or on if I can finally see a six-pack on my own belly (although it would be neat if I could). The goals are stated thusly: Thou shall be able to run 5 kilometers 3 weeks from now.Thou shall be able to clap your hands during your pylometric push-ups without slamming your face into the ground a few instants later.The 3 week period might run into a few logistical problems in the last week, but we will see about that when I get there. I do a body-weight workout 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), and I just started running, which I am planning to do on the Tuesdays and Thursdays (possibly in the weekends as well, but I will have to see about getting my sporting stuff to my parents home). Anyway, onto today's analysis of my workout. Workout 11-06-14 Warm-up Wacky dancing to Linkin Parks 'PPr:Kut' 3*10 Jump Squats. Yesterday I ran for the first time, which made me feel a bit sore today, but regardless I did all 30 of them without any trouble, except one landing that went a bit awry, causing me to wobble precariously for a bit. 3 sets of pull-ups (13-07-05). It is rather warm here in the Netherlands, which combined with the fact that I don't actually use a pull-up bar, but rather a I-beam like structure in the ceiling, caused my sweaty hands to have a rather loose grip at the end of the sets. This caused me to not try for another pull-up, lest I fall to the ground, either landing on my microwave and mini-fridge, or the armrest of the couch. Neither of those would make for a pleasant landing. 3 sets of 8 pylometric push-ups (2 on ground level, 2 on armrest level, which is about knee-height). I recently found myself to be able to do pylometric push-ups from the ground up, and decided to incorporate that into my workout regime. After two sets of those, my left wrist started to hurt, and not in a good, 'feel the BURN'-kind of way, but rather in a bad, 'What the hell are you trying to do, dolt'-kind of way, so I decided to switch the last two back to the armrest. The rest of the excercise concluded without notable troubles. 10*10 calve raises per leg. Aside from some wobbles and suchlike, this went without problems. Probably need to think of something to make it a bit more challenging. 10 lunges per leg. Again, balance, especially while I go back to the starting position. That part goes rather like a airplane fighting its way through turbulence. 3 sets of push ups (13-16-10). Today I put focus on keeping my core tight and letting my elbows go to 90 degrees. Being focused on that, I lost count and had to start again. On account of that, the first set scores lower than the second, but no matter, I will be back to my old amount next time. Cool Down: Wacky dancing to Linkin Parks 'Wretches and Kings' The workout started at 13:06 and concluded at 14:04, taking 58 minutes to complete. Anyway, that was today's workout and tomorrow is running day. See you all later, and keep on improving.

Hi there folks, I'm Christine, I'm almost 38. I'm 5' 11'', about 280 lbs. Work at home mom, with a 10 year old with severe autism, and an almost 2 year old. Stress makes me crave sugar. Sugar makes me calm. Sugar is also killing me as I have diabetes. I need to be around for my children as long as I possibly can, and there's still a lot of the world I want to see. Been eating paleo/primal for 2 weeks. Getting into the part where I start craving like crazy. If I can get through the next two weeks, I'll be golden until any huge life events interfere and make me stress out again. I'm here to try and carry me through the rough patches. Two weeks ago, my blood sugars in the morning were 160, 165. This morning, it was 96, and I've dropped my insulin by 10 units. That's pretty fucking amazing for two weeks. No idea about weight loss - don't care. Just want to stop drilling holes in my kidneys. I've restarted my fitbit, average is about 6000 steps a day. Done the body weight beginner workout (at least as much as I can), every other day for the last week. So, 5/6/14 - Fasting blood sugar -96 Exercise - 6179 steps Beginner body weight workout 2 reps finished of: 20 squats, 12 pathetic half pushups, 10 pathetic lunges, 15 lifts of 15 lbs kettlebell on each arm, 15 sec plank 30 jumping jacks in which i jiggle and pant and my toddler laughs like crazy Food cheating - 8 fries fries at lunch, 1/2 elmo cracker, too many random grapes

Today... I am MAD, (technically i am mad and also sick with a cold/sinus congestion). I mad at myself. How I got this way! (currently weighing in at 220's) and I am not pleased in the slightest. Sometimes it takes a different setting to see how really bad you let yourself go... (Thank you Anime Boston!) I've lost and gained, over and over again! This time I intend to win! Winning at becoming the best, most fit person I can become! I've always have a muffin-top, now I want to see abs! I want to run, jump, climb, and have fun in an awesome looking athletic body! It won't be easy, I never expect it to be, but I know it will be rewarding! This is a diary of my adventures!

Body Weight training and Gymnastics are cool! And let's face it, who does not want to be cool? If not then cease wasting your time now otherwise, read on... I believe that any true Jedi needs strong agility and control of their physical body. The type of training to achieve this requires not only physical endurance but mental discipline as well - a seemingly obvious component for and Padawan learner. In a world where Jedi are few and far between, one has few options other than learning through self-discovery and education. The Holo-net (internet) is a great resource and is heavily relied upon to provide insight and information as well as a reference point for continued analysis and study. This has led me to the conclusion that in order to become a Jedi, part of the training will require Gymnastics work, Body Weight training, Max Effort Strength and finally conditioning (both physical and mental). In order to accomplish this, I have structured a training program centered around Max Effort Black Box (MEBB) training on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays/Sundays will see work on gymnastics skills - a fair component of which will be taken from Gymnastic Bodies. Interval training will be used on Tuesdays & Thursdays for general fitness and conditioning and Body Weight training will be daily. Therefore, the week will look like the following: Mon - MEBB Program, Body Weight Training Tues - Interval Training (Long), Gymnastic Skill Training, Body Weight Training Wed - MEBB Program, Body Weight Training Thur - Interval Training (Short), Gymnastic Skill Training, Body Weight Training Fri - MEBB Program, Body Weight Training Sat - Partner Training (Circuit or Strength), Gymnastic Skill Training, Body Weight Training Sun - Skills development, Stretching, Body Weight Training Force Attunement - On 25 Jan 13 I decided to add a Force Attunement rating to the start of each workout. This is an indicator of how I felt prior to commencing the workout. The rating stretches from One to Five, each with the following meaning: Completely out of alignment. Almost no connection to the force. Training should probably be postponed. Difficulty in feeling the Force. Possibly tired or fatigued. Re-assessment of one's training supporting elements (Diet, Sleep, etc) should occur if a trend of this level develops. Normal connection levels. Considered the 'base-line' for Force sensitivity. Heightened connection. Above a normal level, resulting in increased optimism and feeling of well-being. Very strong connection. A feeling of almost perfect alignment. ***** - A brief glimpse of my story - I am a 25 male, healthy, fit, not looking to loose any body weight (presently around 68 kg). I am trained as a Combat Fitness Leader in the Army and enjoy physical training. My interests in nutrition sky rocketed on discovering Robb Wolf and Mark Scisson in 2011 and how their ideas could fuel physical performance (it started when I saw a copy of the book 'Paleo Diet for Athletes'). I have since remained deeply interested in this field for nearly 24 months now and continue to read widely on the subject. My Gymnastics experience is limited which is something I plan to correct. ****** So here starts my 'Holo-Log' of Jedi training - mainly as a personal record. If anyone else wants to join me in becoming a Jedi, please feel free to jump in and add to the Holo-Log. At the end of my cycle (probably 8-12 weeks) I should have a nice archive of training data which can then be used for future training. My Level 50 goal for this is a planche and front lever (How I am going to achieve it!). This will be ongoing, as my other training cycles itself. From there, who knows! If I can get that far I think my credibility as a Padawan will certainly be cemented! Without further ado, the Padawan known only as Tracer begins his epic journey of self development and mastery of the physical body.
