An Honest Exercise Log

[Nintendoobsessed]

You know what? Exercise sucks balls. It's goddamn awful, and I'm here to tell people who don't exercise on purpose the honest truth about it.

My Story:

I hate exercising, because it's painful and boring. Up until two weeks ago, I completely avoided it, except for physical jobs (my family works with woodwork). Because of this, I am 240 pounds, and 17. What a fatass, right? I really don't care, yeah, I'm a fatass. It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, two weeks ago, my parents offered me $5 a day to run one mile every day. Now, the only thing that outweighs (heh, get it) my laziness is my greed. I agreed, and I have been running one mile a day for the past two weeks, along with whatever other jobs I've had to do.

How It's Been:

People will tell you that exercise is "fun", and that it "feels good". If that was true, everybody would do it. But people don't, because it's a FUCKING LIE. Even before I begin my run every day, I feel that horrible dread coming...I am about to feel and immense pain. Every day, I feel the same when I run: like death. I feel no better every day, it just feels the same, or worse. When I get done, I become irritated and angry. When some ass asks how I felt when I get back, I ignore them...my head feels like it's about to explode. (Oh yeah, people say exercise is good for stress: HA HA HOLY SHIT THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE OF ALL).

Progress with Weight:

Progress? What progress? Despite drinking mostly water, and a soda one day the entire week, my weight and appearance is the exact same-no, scratch that. I've GAINED TWO POUNDS from when I started. That's right, two weeks of running, and I'm now 242 pounds. As for my outward appearance, I look no different. I am still fat.

Conclusion: (Read this if you don't want to read the rest)

Exercise is a waste of time. It only causes pain, and after two weeks of it, I have not lost any weight. I am going to continue this regiment until I leave for college, so if anything changes (If I get worse, or better) I will tell you. I'm sure a bunch of people are going to come in here calling me a liar, but all of this is honestly true. It seems that there is a point where you can become too fat...and can't recover from it.

Yeah, you should run more than a mile to lose weight. You need to get your heart beating for a minimum of 20 minutes in one go to get anything out of it. If you keep at it, you'll be able to run further.

Since you're fat, you shouldn't run. You'll hurt your knees in the long term and have chronic leg problems. It is painful to get out of bed or get up from sitting, which will make you want to move even less.

You should swim, or do low-impact exercises like bike riding.

also, stop whining. pussy.

[Boomstick]

Just stick mostly to vegetables and fish.
Find an easier and manageable exercise regimen. Don't cry about it either, you don't lose until a few weeks.

I can barely breathe by the time I get home. I think I would collapse if I ran two miles. And I already ride bikes.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.

Look, I'm bigger than you. I've lost 60 pounds and I'm still bigger than you so I get how hard exercise is. Because that is the truth. It isn't a waste of time at all. The hardest part is getting the motivation to do it.

Tell me something though. Do you ever finish exercising and regret doing it? No you do not. It just takes a lot to get yourself in the mood to actually do it, but then you do it and you do feel better from it at the end.

I sweat a lot, I'm out of breathe, I feel smelly. Doesn't matter though because I feel better for actually fucking trying.

And believe me I'm lazy. Number one reason I don't straighten my hair or wear make up is because I'm fucking lazy. I'm trying to better myself though now, get to a healthy weight, and besides eating well, I NEED to exercise. I'm rarely in the mood to do, I don't think exercise alone has ever made me happy but it works if you just keep up with it.

So you know, 6 months in, you may have lost 60 pounds like me if you just keep up with it.

Its hard but its worth it.

[Tremulos]

Running makes me feel like shit too (I'm skinny) but doing push-ups and sit-ups usually make me feel pretty good afterwards. Maybe the exercise that people say is fun and feels good is the type done in a gym. Running with any sort of comfort requires the build up of endurance, which takes a while of habitual running.

[saqwert]

You don't physically feel good while exercising unless you're on drugs or something. You feel good mentally about how you're improving yourself. Though I did feel energized after losing a bunch of weight

It seems that there is a point where you can become too fat...and can't recover from it.

That's just bullshit too. If you want to lose weight all you need to do is eat less calories than you expend. Running a mile everyday isn't much. Like what, maybe 100 calories for someone your weight. If you really want to lose weight, lift weights too. Faggot
I used to be 278 and I lost 80 pounds in a year.

[BizzarroPMP]

10 minute trainer is the best routine I've ever done.

Running a mile doesn't do shit.

[FattyWhale]

Good god, fat people are pathetic wastes of space.

[mandog]

I remember I was fat, when I was 16 I started running like you, 3 miles a day, I lost weight after a couple of months, I was looking better but I was still fat.
One day when I reached 3 miles I wasn't out of breath, so I extended it another mile, every month I would run another mile, I ended up running 20 miles a day, Then one day I kept running , I was running and running, people started following me, I was on the news, I was running so long I grew a beard, then I stopped and I turned around to my followers "I am tired now, you can all leave"

And that's the point where it's too fucking much. In order to get "proper" exercise:

1. Suffer great pains daily
2. Eat little amounts of crappy food
3. Drink little amounts of water

And even if I do all this, it's gonna take six months to lose maybe ten pounds. I don't even care if I die early, this is not fucking worth it. You're supposed to enjoy life. If I had to do this every day, life would just not be worth it. Once this money deal's over, I'm never doing this again.

I HAVE LOST 60 POUNDS IN 6 MONTHS.

I HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD TO STARVE MYSELF, OR EAT LESS THAN WHAT WOULD SATISFY MY HUNGER. ALSO I STILL DRINK FIZZY DRINKS, DIET ONLY, AND LESS THAN I USED TO SURE BUT I'M STILL NOT MISSING OUT. SUGAR FREE SQUASHES ARE YOUR FRIENDS.

THE ONLY PAIN I SUFFER IS THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF BEING FAT.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES. YOU'RE THE REASON US FATTIES GET A BAD NAME.

[pirateplatypus]

Does playing Cannabalt count as exercise?

[Hemlok]

Damn dude, 1 mile? I go on a 6 mile jog every day and I don't find it terribly unbearable. Just stick an iPod in your ears, do you not enjoy music? Sure, some days I don't feel very motivated doing the same routine day in and day out, but I know it's good for me. That's what exercise is. It's not meant to be fun, or even enjoyable in some cases. You do it to prevent becoming a low life, pathetic, self-loathing piece of shit.

I doubt your diet is of the healthy variety. You've cut back on soda and started drinking more water, that's great. Now kick the double cheeseburgers and donuts and you'll notice results.

[Laughingbox]

It sounds like you just want to exercise to burn some fat, rather than to stay in shape.

Have you considered something other than running? I dunno, pushups?

Because two weeks is all you need to become skinny, look different, and everything. The first few weeks are going to be the most hell you've ever been through. As time goes by, it will feel less like hell and more like enjoyment or anything that doesn't feel like hell. I believe that slow progress makes a difference. If you expect to see result in 2 weeks you are too near-sighted. 9 weeks is recommended to actually see results according to my health class I took 3 years ago.

Your conclusion is wrong, but if you're going to keep it up until you go to college, and if college for you is going to be a whole year apart, I'll tell you, you'll see the difference. If you doesn't then you're eating too much.

You are not a liar, you're body is a liar and you believed it. Also there is no such thing as being to fat to recover from. The only time it is true is when one is 1000 lbs. People at 500 lbs. are capable of recovery.

For a healthy weight loss, it is possible to lose 1-2 pounds a week! Not 10 pounds in 6 months. If you were to lose 1 pound a week it would take 40 weeks to lose 40 pounds. That's less than a year. If you were to lose 2 pounds per week, it would take 20 weeks to lose 40 pounds. That's 5 months. If you were to lose 1.5 pounds a week, it would take roughly 26 - 27 weeks to lose 40 pounds. Slightly over 6 months. In all cases you will lose more than 10 pounds in 6 months. You may lose more than 40 pounds, but in all cases of losing weight in a healthy fashion (from one to 2 pound), you are able to lose more than 10 pounds in 6 months.

Really? because I shed 2 lbs today with Coach J running bleachers and doing marine sit-ups. Miles are for pansies, it's all even ground and easy. Bleachers are for winners.

I'm a doctor, so I'll write you this subscription for the pain: Grow half a testicle you mewling waste of life.

If you gain muscle then you will gain more weight.

You can't just run one mile a day and expect results.

You need a cool down. Run that mile and then walk a half or a full lap after that for a cool down.

When you get home, don't stuff your face. Drink some water, take a shower. After that, have a HEALTHY and BALANCED meal. A Caesar Salad for example, would be great for you.

Lol at people who think they will be healthier by running a mile, but still living a shit lifestyle.

And what would doing a "Cool Down" do for me?

BTW, my parents just offered to up the money if I run 1.5 miles. GodDAMN I hate myself. I'm actually going to do it.
