I went back to the gym and began a routine, pretty much everyday for about a month....I didn't change my diet (probably even ate more because my body seemed to become more hungry more often than i liked). Although people noticed a bit of change in my body, i weighed just slightly less (about 193-194), and no matter how much harder i worked out, my results didn't improve. By the end, routines changed in my life and when you haven't been consistent with something for awhile, its easy to break a new habit. So i stopped working out, but my eating didnt stop. Within a month i surpassed my previous weight and got up to about 220 lbs :evil: The diet: :idea: Fortunately, things made a slightly bigger change in my life, and at that time, it just seemed like I didn't have time to eat, nor was my hunger prominent. I had fewer meals, and on top of that, my meals were half what they normally were. I also moved within walking distance to work, so i walked about 15 minutes to and from work everyday; not much, but it was about 2 miles a day. In about a month and a half I lost 40 lbs, but it plateaued for about 2 months after that. Both: :mrgreen: Even though what I did was not healthy (and i don't recommend what i did to anybody as it made me rather weak and fatigued everday), it was a start for my current routine. I began to eat more, but healthier; cookin my own meals, rather than buying out (i honestly think this also plays a huge factor in dieting too). I also realized that the reason why the workout at the gym in the past always failed me was the commute and the thought of having to make that drive, as well as feeling uncomfortable at the gym (everybody there always seemed to be fit). So I initially started to just do alot more pushups and situps at home. It was a good start, but the body of course began to get used to that, and a change of routine in your workout, i have found, is pretty essential to keeping your body sweating. I began reading alot of articles online and gathering just workouts i could do at home. Some people find it shameful, but you know what? Who cares! Since then i've lost another 10 lbs, but i've also trimmed alot as well since alot of the muscle grown replaced the weight of fat i still had....and i can fit into alot of my clothes that i havent been able to wear for about 6-7 years! I still have a long way to go to reach my ultimate goal, but I don't feel the trek is going to be a burden now than i thought before. :!: A good hint a friend gave me was, when you're watching tv, for every commercial, just do as many pushups and situps (or whatever other workout you find you need to do) until the commercial's over. It keeps you from changing the channel, as well as getting up to grab something from the fridge. In closing: :arrow: yes i agree. A slight diet is essential, as well as a short good workout. 30 minutes a day usually gets me going through the day. Save time from the commute that could add another 20 minutes that you don't want to spend and workout at home. Just remember to stay committed.
