Hi,


I wasn't trying to sell... i just need a challenge to get me in the gym (otherwise i go for a few weeks/days then drop it again and find it really hard to get back to it) but i'm finding it hard (impossible) to challenge myself.

I need to imagine there's someone who i have to be accountable to -- the idea of admitting to someone that I was too lazy to get the gym is somehow strong enough to get me out of bed and all the way to the gym... For some reason the idea of being fat and unfit for the rest of my life is not good enough. Wierd, i know.

Probably something to do with the time-scales.

Well, let me know if you're interested. I've been really awful recently. Not counting, not going to the gym. Need a bit of a kick.

Either of you fancy trying the couch to 5k? At gym or around on the streets/park? For a new gym-style challenge. I tend to find that if I'm good in the gym, I'm good with what i eat. (Also vice versa... when I'm lazy I eat bad. Terrible!).

Hey!

I'm 27 yo,  5 11, 85kg looking also to lose 12kg. I read your profile - I also eat a small lunch then get home really hungry and it's hard to prepare food without eating everything in sight...

I've been working too hard this past month and have been a bit off, especially this last week. Looking for some company (and someone to be accountable to). I'm looking to lose weight and change my eating habits for a long life of healthy eating! It's slow going...

PM me if you fancy a buddy.

Difficult one. Try going to one (maybe the nearest one) and see how it goes, if it doesn't work, try going to the other or try something else and keep trying different things until you find a solution. I found it takes a while to find out what works well when you start out or move.

I used to be more the outdoorsy kind of person (running, cycling). Then I moved to a bit polluted city. Triend running and cycling. Was horrible. I used to hate gyms, but at least now that I've paid a fortune for it I tend to go. I even quite enjoy it.

I cycle to work via the gym. Get changed and showered there and get ready for work. It's then only a short 10min bike ride to work. I carry all my stuff on my bike. It's a bit of a pain, but worth it.
