sad to say ._. i just started working out today

camname21 · « **Reply #951 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:33:47 am »

I ended up going to Mt. Tabor, Oaks park, and a few other places. I would have gone on a ride at oaks park (was there for something else,) but there is only one ride that looks good still. I can't believe how small the rides look now that I'm a wee bit older. I should have looked at the price for just one ride :/

Hmmm after a doctor visit a while ago I found out my body wasn't processing cholesterol properly so I started taking some Niacin but only the slo niacin so I wouldn't get the itchy flushed feeling all over. XP Point is Since I have started taking it I have lost about 6lbs already! I will report back on future results!*happy dance*

Like, slow released niacin? I've actually heard that can be bad for you. I don't want to discourage you if you were told to take that, but make absolutely sure it's what you're supposed to use it. Long-term use I think can cause liver damage. :X

Mew*Haruko · « **Reply #954 on:** August 12, 2010, 09:58:50 am »

I need to start exercising.
I've a lot of...Er...Unwanted body fat.
I was planning to get down to 100 this summer..
But I've been lazy.
= 3 =
I weigh 108...And I'm 5' 3"
FUFUFUFU.

I was given the option of either so I am taking the slo until my body becomes acustomed to having it in my system then I can switch to the regular. Health-wise I need to get my cholesterol levels balanced sooner rather than later as I seem to have a genetic predisposition to issues on both sides of my family. XP Not fun but with the healthier diet I hopefully won't have to stay on it for to long. Thanks for the concern though. I really appreciate the info.

Tomecko · « **Reply #958 on:** August 13, 2010, 12:25:27 am »

@Mew*Haruko - That sounds like a perfectly normal weight for someone who's 5'3". In fact, according to this body weight chart, you're a bit underweight even for the smallest build. 100 lbs would be very underweight. I'm 5'2" when I round up, and I weigh 120 pounds - and I'm frikkin' skinny.

If you wish to become more fit and stay in shape, which is a more admirable goal, you're actually probably going to gain weight - muscle weighs more than fat, so if you burn fat and gain muscle, you'll weigh more than when you started. And bear in mind that the weight chart I linked above is calculated for adults. A young person of your age would - and should - have extra body fat. It's perfectly natural, as you are transitioning from child to adult. This is not a good time to be depriving your body of the energy stores it needs to grow and develop. And at 13, you're probably going to get a little taller, which would make your current weight (and goal weight) even more unhealthy.

In conclusion, DUN DO IT.

camname21 · « **Reply #959 on:** August 13, 2010, 12:52:11 am »

I'm going to agree with tomecko, unless there is something weird going on with you. Post a pic so we can all cry at how skinny you are compared to us.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #960 on:** August 13, 2010, 10:17:58 am »

there is only 22 days left to get in shape DX But there is a workout room in the hotel so I think I may try to do cardio during the con

Mew*Haruko · « **Reply #961 on:** August 13, 2010, 10:21:51 am »

This isn't a very good picture of my full body, but alas, it's the clearest one I have.

camname21 · « **Reply #962 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:34:05 pm »

OMG stop trying to lose weight, you look great. And at 13 you are only going to grow so you need anything you have to build your body. When you hit 16-18 (I would recommend 21 even) then come back and say I want to lose weight. However, I doubt you will be overweight with the attitude you have now. YOU ARE FINE THE WAY YOU ARE.

StarryShay · « **Reply #963 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:38:24 pm »

Yeah!
When I was around 12, I was really pudgy and short, and then around the time I turned 14, I grew about four inches and got thinner.
Even if you think you look fat now, which you do not at all omg you look great, once you grow more, your body weight evens out. c:
Put please don't worry about losing weight, you're adorable!
Just focus on making sure you're geting good nutrients, and sleeping enough. xD

She is almost as adorable as you shay

StarryShay · « **Reply #965 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:40:35 pm »

I AM NOT ADORABLE, I'M VISCIOUS AND MEAN. >:[
She is though for sure. ♥

reppy · « **Reply #966 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:42:56 pm »

I had to have 5 stitches after Shay bite my hand. I was foolish enough to pinch her cheeks. SHE DOESN'T LIE!!

camname21 · « **Reply #967 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:45:33 pm »

WHAAAAA, so get her a rubber ball and THEN tease her?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #968 on:** August 14, 2010, 07:54:33 pm »

I'm working on my arms now. They are quite sore after yesterday. I'm trying to jog every day. And tomorrow at work I plan on wearing ankle weights to work to try to burn more calories.

reppy · « **Reply #969 on:** August 15, 2010, 12:59:26 am »

Awesome! ^^

Today my workout was a set of 11 split jacks, followed by 6 squat thrusts; repeated 5 times (no rest between sets). Then I did 11 wide out drops, followed by 11 push-ups, then 10, 9, 8, 7 .. all the way to 1 (no rest between sets). Then 4 minutes of 30s sprinting, 30s walking. It kicked mah butt! D:

nikkiolie · « **Reply #970 on:** August 15, 2010, 10:05:47 am »

I have been taking my dog with me to jog some mornings as well. She is doing much better now, doesn't stop near as much. I imagine another month or so of this and she will have it down real well.

reppy · « **Reply #971 on:** August 15, 2010, 11:03:21 am »

Your dog's gonna be in a great shape, too!

Edit: I just weighed myself. A little under a week ago, I was 170.4 lbs. I'm 168.4 lbs right now! Considering my diet hasn't been the greatest (it's probably 75% of where I want it to be), I'm very happy right now. ^____^

StarryShay · « **Reply #972 on:** August 15, 2010, 11:05:06 am »

Being on the computer is great for weight loss, because I'm never hungry if I'm entertained.
Lost two pounds last week hurdur.

camname21 · « **Reply #973 on:** August 16, 2010, 12:24:17 am »

Shay go outside and play, you are too cute to be a troll.

beast · « **Reply #974 on:** August 16, 2010, 12:26:15 am »

Everyone just do one handed pushups, you'll be in perfect condition by con day.

Mew*Haruko · « **Reply #975 on:** August 16, 2010, 12:27:16 am »

SHAYSHAY IS MOE.
SHAYSHAY IS MOE TROLL.
LETS BE MOE TROLLS, SHAYSHAY.

Bah.
I ate a Cheeseburger today. P:
The whole time I did I was like: "I shouldn't be eating this, but it's SO GOOODDDD"
XDDD

reppy · « **Reply #976 on:** August 16, 2010, 04:51:13 pm »

I weighed ~167 lbs this morning, but I think that may have been from the food poisoning or something I had yesterday. ^^;; ahehehehe

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #977 on:** August 16, 2010, 05:08:01 pm »

D: i need to get back to playing the wii over exagurated... or walk or something xD

camname21 · « **Reply #978 on:** August 16, 2010, 05:39:54 pm »

If you didn't live so far away we could go biking

Pchan · « **Reply #979 on:** August 18, 2010, 10:59:08 pm »

I've lost over 30 lbs in the last couple months because I got out and walked every morning for 30 minutes.

reppy · « **Reply #980 on:** August 18, 2010, 11:18:44 pm »

Dude, that is SO awesome!! Great job!!

camname21 · « **Reply #981 on:** August 19, 2010, 02:55:39 pm »

Great work. That is the type of getting in shape we want ^^ (not that anyone else is doing a less then wonderful job)

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #982 on:** August 19, 2010, 09:55:53 pm »

i give up D: i try to stay "healthy" and work out but i keep injuring myself >.< right now my lowerback and shoulder have a pinched nerve and it hurts to move, and my ankle is acting up and my knee hurts for no reason!!! i feel broken

reppy · « **Reply #983 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:16:31 pm »

Holy smokes, what are you doing? D:

You need to make sure you're doing mobility stuff to warm up before a work out, and then do static stretching after work outs and during off days. D:

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #984 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:20:57 pm »

I do >.< i don't know!! lol my ankle is an old injury that acts up and odly these pains didn't happen because of exercise o.O
i got lazy and have slacked off for like a week and i work up the other morning and everything was all "bleh i dont like you today!!!"

reppy · « **Reply #985 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:25:51 pm »

There's this thing I do called foam rolling and it's pretty freaking amazing. If you go on YouTube and search for it you'll find lots of great videos.

StarryShay · « **Reply #986 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:27:32 pm »

I love food too much to stop eating good stuff ; - ;
I HAD ICECREAM AND PIZZA FOR DINNER ; O ;

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #987 on:** August 20, 2010, 09:55:57 am »

D; irealy need to stop eating out..... at least i remembered my leg exercises last night

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #988 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:12:48 am »

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #990 on:** August 20, 2010, 02:18:50 pm »

lol i understand
good! salad is good for you :3

StarryShay · « **Reply #991 on:** August 20, 2010, 03:42:30 pm »

Instead of eating crackers, or chips, or pizza just now, I HAD STEAMED VEGTABLES. O A O

camname21 · « **Reply #992 on:** August 20, 2010, 10:45:39 pm »

That foam roller thing looks like a decent item if you are stiff a lot. Or maybe as a once a week thing to use over your whole body just to get everything moving, if you have no one to give you a massage. (Wants someone to give/receive massages with)

I biked like 5 miles today, to get stuff at some stores, and felt like I did nothing. If I don't bike at least 10 miles a day now, it feels like I'm not getting any exercise. It sucks because I don't feel as big of an improvement as I thought I would when I got to this point.

Lin · « **Reply #993 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:32:02 pm »

Crud... Have to go to weddings and there is wedding cake and then the reunion and urgh so much food I shouldn't eat. Ok I am calling it! I give up this year and will start again a week after Kumo. XP

Here's some good fat loss advice I just read ..

"Every single time you're about to eat something in your house, put on a pair of tight jeans and a belt, take your shirt off, sit down at the table and look at that fat roll on your stomach. Then decide what your meal will look like. I guarantee you'll get leaner."

nyahaha · « **Reply #995 on:** August 21, 2010, 12:19:47 am »

I feel horrible after reading that OTL

I haven't done anything for a while. other than biking like crazy so I could check the mail then runing to the bus stop to try to make the bus, but that doesn't really count.

My goal is to stair master/weightlift/bike like there is no tomorrow for the last two weeks before the con >8| i can do it!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #996 on:** August 21, 2010, 12:27:08 am »

Oh god....

I was doing well, I really was. Then, suddenly, vacation to Seaside and my mom buys all sorts of ridiculous delicious junk that she never buys.
I haven't worked out in like a month...

But the other day I wore a dress that I got two years ago, which is fitted at the waist and bust, and the dress was super loose on my waist. So that gave me hope because it used to be a little bit tight.
I'll work out every day that I can until kcon, I swear it.

im sooo close to going down a size in jeans. its so annoying! i have to wear a belt to keep my pants on but the smaller size gives me a muffin top. and my jacket fits! my cosplay jacket fits now! when i got it, i could barely button it, now i can button it and it looks fine! ^^ that just boosted my confidence. i still want to lose more poundage. but at least i know its working.

Animeman73 · « **Reply #998 on:** September 03, 2010, 07:32:00 am »

The day of the con has come I'm looking and feeling great! All that time working out at Taekwondo is paying big divedends.
