Same here, except I'm 5'9" and 150lbs. Not exactly a fatass, but I'm not in shape at all. Also, no alcohol/smoking here.

and every day I tell myself I'm going to go run and I don't

Negative Health Habits: Same as trap.

Starting a 6 month diet/workout plan today. Might even start a thread to track it.... Perhaps we could have some sort of shmups fitness contest or something.....

[BryanM]

Cleared out linear progression ages ago. Don't have the budget or the guts to work with intermediate programming, at least not yet. Just coasting for now. Either way, I have the body of a goddess now.

You all need to eat and squat more. :judgmental:

[jonny5]

Height: 6'1" (185cm)
Weight: 175 lbs (79kg)
Positive Health Habits: ride about 30km a day to and from work and often more than that on the weekends
Negative Health Habits: Drinking, cigarettes(pack a day), weed, drinking, don't sleep enough, drinking
General condition: I'm in really good shape for somebody who abuses themselves the way I do

Also, you sure you are 6ft, trap? I'm pretty sure I am way more than 1in taller than you.

[trap15]

About? Maybe I've shrunk I don't really stand up very straight so that might be part of it too. I'll have to check sometime soon.

LOL, maybe. Although I believe the 125lbs for sure! I think my g/f could take you in an arm wrestle

jokez

[trap15]

Haha, she probably could!

[jonny5]

Haha, she probably could!

She used to be a Muay Thai instructor

[trap15]

Oh uhh. Well then!

[Ruldra]

Been rocking the gym for a year now and my body went through a complete transformation. Lost 8kg since I started working out and have a slim body now. Going to the gym was the best decision I made in my life.

Height: 171cm
Weight: 64kg
Positive Health Habits:
- Gym 3 times a week, including a 5km run on the treadmill
- Severely cut down the amount of food I eat per meal. Your body needs far less food than you'd think
- No alcohol, smoking, drugs, coffee or soda. Only drink water, milk and juice nowadays
- Avoid eating junk food and candy, though I don't mind eating a pizza or something like that every once in a while
Negative Health Habits: I suppose not wearing sunscreen in this sunny weather is one of them. I've been told I'll get skin cancer if I keep neglecting sunscreen, but...I hate it. I avoid the sun instead :3
General condition: Never felt better. Seriously.

Yeah, not joking. Are you me?

[trap15]

WAT FAK

[Dragoforce]

FFS, I'm just a wee bit taller than you two and I weigh almost twice as much (102kg)

A friend of mine have been working out a lot lately and lost a lot of weight. Sad thing is, I can't stand him anymore. All he talks about is working out, how much weight he lost and blabla. I don't pester other people with stories about wrestling and video games when I know they don't care, why do I have to listen to his crap? /Rant

[ratikal]

How are you alive being 125lbs? What the fuck man?

Height: 5'11
Weight: 200 lbs
Positive Health Habits: Going to be working as a merchandiser
Negative Health Habits: Constantly overeating in calories.
General condition: meh

[louisg]

5'10, 170lbs (160 seems to be about ideal for me). Good health habits: Cutting down on ambient sugar/salt intake (like the amount of sugar you get at restaurants or in pre-made sauces/dressing), distance running, occasional-and-casual weight lifting.

Your body needs far less food than you'd think

Yeah, that was actually my big shock when I started changing my diet. I'm now back to my old ways (and gained some lbs to match), but for a while I'd cut down the sheer amount I was eating by a lot and felt totally fine.

One thing I've noticed too re: sugar is that if I stop having it for a while, I stop craving it. I think developing a palette that leans more towards spicy/savory/bitter than sweet/salty does a lot for you. Like a lot of hot sauces and mustards are sugar-free, where other sauces like ketchup are not.

A friend of mine have been working out a lot lately and lost a lot of weight. Sad thing is, I can't stand him anymore. All he talks about is working out, how much weight he lost and blabla.

I could see how that could be a really huge source of pride, because for some people losing weight is really hard. But yeah, it can get old if someone's always talking about it.

Though, I will say this: When my friends went through a fitness phase, one of them did me a huge favor by pointing out how crappy the french fries I was scarfing down were for me. It seriously got me to start considering my diet.

[GaijinPunch]

Height 6'3" (188 cm)
Weight ~85kg

I've still got some of my winter/injury weight. I was 89.5 kg not long ago at all. I should be down to 81-82kg by August.

I exercise like a mother fucker: Swim 3kg 2x a week, jog 12k 2x a week, lift weights 2x a week, and use a bicycle as my main means of transportation. Often have athletic sex. Even so I still have some love handle issues.

For you young pussies, you better start now b/c it definitely gets harder as you get older.

I also drink a lot.

[dcharlieJP]

Height: 5 ft 6' (166cm) - yeah, i'm short as feck
Weight: 68kg
Positive Health Habits: Cut out red meat almost entirely, smaller meals multiple times through the day, quit drinking alcohol, don't smoke, reduced processed/junk food, i walk -everywhere-, in process of restarting martial arts training (after an extremely long break!), play futsal regularly for three separate teams, semi-regular kettlebell work
Negative Health Habits: still prone to sloth - too much time sat down, late night junk food still happens
General condition: probably best condition in a long while, but a long way to go - nowhere near the dizzy heights when i touched 84kg back in 2001, but a long way from where i was about 3 years ago when i was down to 64kg where i was stronger, faster, quicker... also much harder now i edge towards 40 years old.

[Rob]

How are you alive being 125lbs? What the fuck man?

Yeah, what a lard ball. Cruising at about 120 over here after an unfortunate weight gain.

[dcharlieJP]

Though, I will say this: When my friends went through a fitness phase, one of them did me a huge favor by pointing out how crappy the french fries I was scarfing down were for me. It seriously got me to start considering my diet.

it goes back to the age old thing i think - if someone is attempting to mock people for not recognizing or knowing something then it becomes incredibly annoying - however, if you have someone who knows what they are talking about and they want to educate you about why , in this case, something is bad for you and what the alternatives are then it's all good. Being fingerwagged or hearing rhetoric like "that shit just kills you" isn't helpful where as having someone explain why it's bad for you and isn't lecturing about it tends to spur people on. Fortunately, the people who pointed out my fitness short comings are in the second category.

[drauch]

5'6" because I'm a dwarf.
152-155ish lbs. Been fluctuating recently. Heaviest I've ever been, but not fat. Gaining muscle at a decent rate.
Good: Work out 5 days a week. Don't smoke, barely drink but for maybe once or twice a month.
Bad: Sleep like 5 hours a night. Hardly do cardio. Eat shitty foods with a lot of protein.

It's whatever. Gaining a lot of mass and strength, just need to do more cardio and not eat as shitty. Had like two abs there for awhile, but I've been munching down on too many burgers and shit. Got a treadmill yesterday. Hope to see that get some use soon while I watch anime or some shit.

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

Height: 6'5
Weight: 345 lbs
Positive Health Habits: I walk around a lot at work.
Negative Health Habits: Not enough exercise.
General condition: Worried about it.

I lost my job a few years ago and put on a bunch of weight after that. Then I quit smoking a couple years ago and put on a bunch of weight. Unless I can get a decent job where I don't have to constantly worry about money all the time I don't really see myself getting any better.

[BIL]

Height: 5'11
Weight: 180 lbs
Positive Health Habits: Bouncing cock pushups while 1CCing shooters. 5x5 weights 3x per week. No drink/drugs/smokes.
Negative Health Habits: Fond of soda.
General condition: Recovering fat guy. Decided when I hit my late twenties to shape up a little, so I'd be a bit less likely to drop dead unexpectedly. So far so good.
Dislikes: Spiders, silverfish

[jasoncslaughter]

5'11"
150 lbs

Good habits: healthy diet with fairly limited calorie intake, don't drink anymore, and I walk about 5 miles a day.

Bad habits: I drink too much coffee/tea, I smoke way too much, and I rarely sleep. I'm sure the first two have nothing to do with the third.

General condition: 7 years ago I was supposed to be dead in less than 10, but I'm in relatively good shape now. If I could just make the last couple of changes I could get on with living forever.

[1up]

This was me 4 months ago...
Height: 180cm / 5'11
Weight: 82kg / 180lbs
Fat % : 26%

Then I found a home fitness program on Neogaf of all places and decided to try it out. To keep myself motivated, I'm a lazy fuck, I posted day 0 pictures on neogaf to hold myself accountable.

90 days later these were my numbers:
Weight: 74kg / 163lbs
Fat % : 15%

I'm pretty happy with my results so far, and now I enjoy summer and will start P90X all over again in september. It's a great program as each excersise/day takes about 1 hour and you don't need a lot of equipment (mat/dumbells/pullup bar)

Positive Health Habits:
Modfied (trimmed to 30m) P90X 6 times a week.
Eating healthy protein filled meals
Negative Health Habits:
Some alcohol during the week
Some sugar and junk food
Desk job
General condition:
Getting better but were all gonna die!!

comparison pics of my p90x adventure

[7711]

I'm pretty thin (45 kg !!!! LOL) but I never do any exercise so I'm a real pussy. I do walk a bit every day but thats all.
My best mate (who is younger than me by two years) challenged me to an arm wrestling contest. Couldn't make him move.

[Super Laydock]

Age: 38
Height: 179 cm
Weight (this morning): 133.2 kg

bad things: no stamina. difficulty getting nice clothes.

good things: I can do what I want, eat and drink (beer) whenever and as much as I want when I want (without people bothering me). I am happy living the way I do atm.
And if I'd really need/want to I can loose half my weight in 6 months (have done so twice before), without too much trouble.

Enjoy while you live, it's you're only chance! (carpe diem, as the romans said)

[1up]

For you young pussies, you better start now b/c it definitely gets harder as you get older.

^THIS

I just turned 34, but when I passed 30 I started gaining weight for no reason? My diet and activity levels were the same as always, but the weight just started coming on? Metabolism change, and it was a little shocking. I could no longer eat/drink whatever, whenever I wanted!
