Re: trying to get fit
I use to run 4 miles 3+ times a week when I was still in school. I was a very lean 140-150 when I was18- 21. I was always sick and strength wise it wasnt really there. Im a little over 200 pounds now and pretty sure I can rip peoples arms off now. Losing weight isnt always a great idea.Once you get older your body will naturally gain weight its just life. I curl crankshafts and lift 100+pound packages daily for my workout.

I run into this also. After awhile I hit a wall where exercising hurts my strength and ability to focus. It's called over training and some people are more susceptible to it than others. It depends on your body's recovery time, how much sleep you get, distance between workouts, your diet, etc.

Why would anyone listen to this man, he thinks the rogaine that he is taking(and scamming me out of pics) has caused him to gain 10lbs. Appearantly its been real sunny in WNC.
And to add some actual content to the thread, i'm going back to the gym, i have this habit of losing 20-30 lbs from jan to august or so, get sick of working out and eating right, then realize i like food, eat like a sumo wrestler, and put all the weight back on. Avoid that. The key is moderation, eat in moderation, exercise in moderation, and you'll be losing weight in no time.

Re: trying to get fit
I hate running, and I hate riding bike, but for different reasons.
I hate running because I am lazy and I don't like the impact or the feel, or just anything about it. I hate riding a bike, because you spend way more time going up hill, the reason being, is you are slower up hill, faster down hill and in between on the flat, so inevitably you spend more time going up hill then anything else.
This, is part of the reason I am a fat kid.
