Screw that-I don't want advice. I want to know why the people who started off in this thread, haven't been keeping up with the working out? Yeah, I'm calling you lot out-it's been how long and you're still fat?



This is the "GET fit thread"-why are only the fit people posting? I could care less about you who have oodles of motivation.

So out of curiosity, and I'm sure the newbies will want to know, since you started this thread back in 2008 have you kept up and reached your "ultimate" goals?

Post #1 of this thread:

I'm tired of being sore and tired, so I've been running/weights for the last month or so. It's starting to pay off.

Ultimate goals are:

Drop weight from 210 to 190
Be able to run 5 miles in less than half an hour.
Pick up Paula's dirtbike with her on it (300 or so pounds).

It's not a good time for us to try that one out.

OK, so we'll cut you some slack on that one...

.....but the baby isn't adding that much extra weight...

So....I signed up for Filipino Martial Arts to learn more about my heritage.  I found a great studio in Va Beach that is 80.00 dollars a month unlimited classes, including a crossfit workout on saturdays.  It's a very good price and the lessons are great!  He teaches the Inosanto blend of Kali and Muay Thai after class. 

Kali really is a killing art, everything I've learned this week was a stab or slash to the vital organs or major arteries.  Stick sparring....well that hurt and is a scary knowing that the stick can be replaced with a sword.   

Muay Thai was simple yet SO effective!  I was burning and my legs still ache!  He taught Thai boxing in a more traditional sense, not the MMA style you see at mega dojo's.  The stance was traditional and had a march cadence while the arms had a rotational motion but never far from your face.

Dropped another 5lbs; 225 this time last year and now 210.  Last blood work indicated a significant drop in liver enzyme levels, so the diet and exercise is working to force the fat out of my liver.  They're still slightly high which means I still have more work to do.  Ultimate goal is 185-190 and of course normal ALT/AST levels and no more NAFLD.

Stay away from fast food, because that shit will eventually kill you.

Way to go Dr. Jones! Keep it up!

Well, I'm no longer sore and tired. Only down to 202 though so far.

Haven't been running-just rowing.

Can't lift anything over 200 lbs.

Great? No. But hey, I'll call myself out.

[cokey]

yea fast food will mess you up good..

It is official, the world wants me to be fat. For the second time in the past year I am prohibited from physical activity for at least a month. This time, to make matters worse, ice cream is one of the few things I can eat. Yep, it must me so- the world is conspiring to make me fat.

i'm still over 220, close to 230. I suppose that's the bad. On the good end of things, I can still move heavy things all about without making any grunting sounds (gym pet peeve).

Perhaps on some particular day, we should all have to check in (of course, optional) and post progress to hold ourselves accountable.
