AtomicStone 724 January 17, 2014 Share January 17, 2014 I've been curious as to whether anyone else here is similar as a year ago I started dieting and working out a lot more and it was difficult at the start to stay motivated... But Since then I haven't looked back and have don't regret it. So does anyone else here follow a diet or exercise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklingSquirrels 21,332 January 17, 2014 Share January 17, 2014 I don't really follow a specific diet, but I do try to eat healthy. I also exercise on a (fairly) regular basis, so I can try and keep my body healthy. For me, it's kinda a way of life. 1 ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekromic 1,054 January 17, 2014 Share January 17, 2014 due to the weather, I'm having difficulties doing exercise (and it started to piss me off), and I'm not exactly on diet. Fortunately I'm losing the extra weight I gained in December really quickly. Lucky me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,742 January 17, 2014 Share January 17, 2014 No diet here so it's random sometimes healthy sometimes not. The same goes for exercising sometimes I do and sometimes not. Even so I don't really need to do a lot of exercise since I'm normal weight but do so just when I feel like it.

Galen 1,354 January 17, 2014 Share January 17, 2014 The first thing I'm trying to get rid of is coke. After hearing enough bad things about it, I'm making an effort not to drink that anymore. So far, I've been doing reasonably well with a few cheat days, but hopefully I'll have stopped drinking it entirely in the long run. As far as dieting in general goes, my view is that so long as anything is done in moderation, anything goes. The real problem isn't necessarily what you eat as much as it's the quantity of what you eat. Granted, some things are detremental to your health (indeed, like coke), but others are more necessary, and then it becomes a matter of not exaggerating. My form of exercise is getting thrown around on a mat as well as throwing people on it, up to 4 times a week. And I couldn't be happier about it I'm bound to train more during the week as I get better at it as well, particularly when I start competing on more advanced levels.

Judgement 445 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 I'm not the fatest male at my highschool, but I'm PRETTY UNFIT compared to many of the people in football/soccer/basketball/etc. My mom is always telling me to join a gym with my dad and I always denied it, but I'm rethinking that. I need both diet and exercise before I grow up looking like fat albert or paul blart. Tom V.S. Boulder: Who will win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRose2k 271 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 I had considered a regular exercise routine but my Job involves so much walking and heavy lifting I'm usually exhausted at the end of the day. Where my mornings are spent running around getting my kids ready for school and me for work. lol So I guess my workout is being a parent.

Clover Heart 978 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 I did for a while, then depression hit. Your emotions have a ton to do with your ability to diet and exercise. I've been slowly trying to implement more good habits in my life (most notably, drinking less pop,) but I don't think I'll really get back into it until I get a job. The stress of scrimping and saving, not to mention that healthy food is more expensive, make it very difficult to diet. You're the most basic of jokes.

Motion Spark 7,807 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 I have a terrible, horrible fear of being fat. I've been working out a daily basis for about 3 or 4 months now, nothing special, just cardio (trotting) to get rid of the extra weight (it's paying off!!), until I can pay me a good gym and start lifting weights. I'm not fat but if I don't do this I'll be because my metabolism is not one of the best and besides I have a thick body frame and I have high risk of having diabetes due to family heritage. Now, I don't do diet, but I certainly started to eat healthier and drink lots of water! My OC's: Motion Spark || Beat Spark || Rosebelle Sorry, I don't take REQUESTS!

Winterbass 763 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 (edited) I can't stand being fat or feeling fat so I do everything to feel healthy, heck, if I feel fat it makes me feel sick. It's not like I'm anorexic or anything, but fat makes me feel nauseated. Plus, food with lots of fat doesn't even taste that amazing when you get a taste of a nice healthy recipe. I've been eating healthy since almost a year ago, lost 6 kilos in the first week. I only eat breakfast and dinner, the only snacks I eat in between are fruits or vegetables. I eat junk food sometimes, but I keep it at a limit, it's just for variety sometimes. I can't eat junk food or fast food that regularly anymore, my stomach just isn't used to it after I changed my diet. Even when having a healthy diet can help a lot, proper exercise is needed to keep your body fit and to keep your muscles from declining, I do power training to keep my muscles at the size I want them to be, after power training I do cardio to burn calories even faster. In average, I try to burn around 5000 kcal a week, which basically boils down to 8,5 hours of cardio. But with power training, I can cut that time down to just 4 hours of cardio. That's just 3 days of exercise, which can be even done at home. I've sought a lot of help from personal trainers both off- and online, it has helped me greatly in creating a good schedule and set of exercises to do, besides finding great recipes for making healthy food. I don't use any artificial means to stay fit, like shakes or energy drinks, all you need is just a good diet and a decent amount of exercise. In all, I can honestly say that I feel a lot better than a year ago, I feel healthier and it feels great, even my asthma and breathing has improved, I don't get sick as often as I did, I look better than I used to and I feel a lot more confident too, not arrogant or full of myself, but just confident. I feel a lot happier ever since I started eating healthier and doing exercises. The hardest part is the discipline to start, but once you get into it, it's a lot of fun, especially with other people, it's not even a competition, it's a fun activity, as well as social. Exercising won't seem like a chore anymore, but something to look forward to. Edited January 19, 2014 by Winterbass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks 10,816 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 For the last week or two I have dramatically cut down the amount of sugar I consume, increased the amount of fruits and vegetables and lean proteins I eat and have made a habit of eating breakfast everyday to keep my metabolism going and to prevent myself from over eaeting at lunchtime. And though I was still recovering from this work related knee injury I started an excercise program which for now focuses mainly on my upper body (my pain level is fairly low so I think I am almost ready to start working more on my lower body too) and as much cardio as my body can reasonably take right now. I have been weight lifting and at one point even power lifting on and off since high school, I go in strong for a while but then sort of drop off. But this time I am actually going to stick with it. My first workout really let me know just how much I let myself go, I am so much weaker than I used to be but feeling sorry for myself isn't going to solve anything so I just have to keep going. I did this tricep bench press that I have never done before (I always have a spotter for this stuff) and it took almost a week for my tricep muscles to fully heal, they were so sore at my next workout that I couldn't even do a single pushup (not even the half assed ones). The first thing I'm trying to get rid of is coke. If you enjoy coke than have it but only in moderation, I don't believe in the "I can never have this again" mentality. I have never been much of a soda drinker myself, but my weekness is sugar in general and to a lesser extent cheese. The most common mistake people make is they (I am not saying you are doing this) go on an extreme fad diet which says they have to cut out this or that completely from their diet and can never never never have it no matter what and they may end up losing weight but then it goes back up again when they go back to a normal diet because the diet caused their body to go into a starvation mode. A lot of diets say "carbs are bad" or "fat is bad" but it is really a lot more complicated than that because there are different kinds of carbs and different kinds of fats, some of which we need in our diet to stay healthy. It is a matter of combining the rigght kinds and amounts of fats and carbs for a balanced diet and having simple carbs and saturated fats in moderation. It isn't easy because everyone is so different from each other, but it is not impossible. On my workout days what I do is I have an extra piece of peanut butter toast in the morning so I can eat a lighter lunch and so I can store a bit more carbs in the body to increase my glycogen stores so I can have a bit more energy for my workout.
