I’m 18M, 87kg looking to both lose fat and gain muscle, I can only go to the gym 3 times a week and cycle 1km there and back. Every other day I do at home ab workouts. I recently made a new routine based on advice I found in the subreddit. I warm up with a 1km jog on a treadmill and do a post...

This really helped me.

Just to share a little about myself, I’m 6’0 and weighed in this morning at 338.2 lbs. So late last year I got into the rhythm of working out and eating healthier. I was maintaining a good calorie deficit and also walking on the treadmill and doing some minor body workouts. Just doing that I...

36(f) currently overweight for all the reasons and they’re all mostly my fault. Anyways, just finally found the motivation to get up and out to walk/jog in the mornings. I’ve currently done 1.5 miles daily half walk/half run and in 5 days time I’ve managed to shave 2 min off. It isn’t much but...

Hi! I (34F) am 193 lbs and I’m finally ready to embark on the journey to lose weight for real. I’ll spare the emotional details, but it’s gotten to the point where I sob when looking at photographs. I’m too young to shy away from beautiful memories because of my own laziness. I know weight...

I am 23F and dealing with cancer (but I am nearly all good)! After I recover fully from my surgery, I really want to start doing all the things I’ve been wanting to do but have felt too sick to do over the past year or so - including running, weightlifting, and rock climbing. However, I have...

My playlist isn’t hitting the same way it used to.

Like the title says. I’ve only had like 3 or 4 in my life (I’m almost 20; ew) and the one I just had being my 3rd or 4th. Had it around an hour ago. It’s always when I’m sleeping and I decide to stretch in my sleep or something. After it happens I’m always scared to straighten my leg and put...

I have not gone back after having 4 bad weeks. I keep telling myself to go back but have gone on 1.5 miles walks instead. I have anxiety going back. How can I change my mindset again? Any tips that you use after not going bad for awhile?

I've always struggled with my weight. Back in 2012, I found this workout routine and gave it a shot. I stuck with it and got pretty good results. Of course, then the usual story - life, excuses, etc. I've tried this workout routine several times since then, and every time, I find I enjoy it...

I’m a 21 y/o male who doesn’t enjoy lifting but knows I have to do it. I struggle maintaining consistency when it comes to showing up. Currently weight 210 and want to get down to 190. Anybody looking to join me and we can be each others accountability partner?

I (30 F) want to be healthier, I have an office job and I'm sitting for at least 8 hours a day. I have noticed that I have become so tired after my day job, and I physically can't do anything after work. I don't think it's normal, and I always say I want to workout, but I have no self...
