Chesterton Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (lets try this again, my long winded post got lost when my interwebz chose to cut out as I clicked post ) Hello! my name is Joshua and I have decided to start loosing weight and take back my life! A little bit of back story, I have always been overweight as long as I can remember and I have had multiple failed attempts at losing weight. About four or five years ago when I was in High School, I used to make a lot of sarcastic remarks about the things we had to do in gym and most of this self deprecating humor had to with my weight...and it was a bit of a mask for how poorly I was probably going to do in that sport we might have been currently involved in. My gym teacher took notice and decided to have a one on one chat with me and offered to work out with me and help me lose weight. I of course accepted his offer and for about 3 months I went into school an hour early every day and lifted weights with him etc. I ended up losing about 5-10 pounds a week but sadly I fell out and it is one of my biggest regrets ever. So that is where I am at now, and I have joined the local gym because I know that I make good progress with weight lifting etc. However I have not gone yet because I only have work boots and jeans, so this Tuesday my workout clothes should arrive in the mail. I have started using My fitness Pal to keep track of my calories, and decided to start doing the beginners body weight workout until I can start attending the gym (those squats gave me jello legs for the first part of the day, and today my legs are so tight and sore lol) . I am ashamed to say that at 6 feet 3 inches and I weight an embarrassing 425 pounds However I am determined to turn this around. So hello fellow nerds 1 Quote "An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered." - G.K. Chesterton Link to comment

Chesterton Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 haha, you are telling me! it reminded me of doing leg exercises when I was working out with my gym teacher! the only thing that actually irritates me is that they are too sore to do a controlled sit so I have just been plopping all day haha.
