You could lose a lot of weight in less than an hour by dumping that douche of a boyfriend of yours. That’s the first way lol as for toning up, gaining muscle. You’re going to tone up just by lifting weights, but not so heavy. Now if you want to gain more muscle, I’d try going w heavier weights w less reps. Meaning a little challenging to you but still being able to lift the weight w out improper mechanics. If you’re just toning than lighter weights w more reps. Also give yourself a break of maybe 15-20 seconds between each rep. Don’t spend 2 hours in the gym for something that could have taken 45-60 minutes. See it all the time. People taking selfies, texting, etc. You’ll notice you’re breathing more, heavier like you just ran. A little cardio booster. The weight loss itself will come in the form of loading fat from gaining muscle. Also incorporate some sort of cardio, don’t need much. Maybe 30 minutes walking uphill at a good pace. But consult your primary health care provider most importantly. You may have medical conditions that omit you from doing certain things. As for starting I started by walking 1 hour a day, about 3.5 miles, but 1 hour was too much so cut that down to half an hour elevated at 2.5-3 mph. Actually burned more calories this way. Then 30 minutes back, then shoulders, done for the day for a total of 1.5 hours. Keep in mind short rest periods between reps.

Just do calisthenics like at home XD. Get fit and be like from there you can be eventually the one who can turn the tables XD.

Look, I've gotten fit and I wanna keep working out so why don't we just go together. >w< Then you can prove to me how strong you are. Can jokingly say then I wanna get to a point we can bench one another and watch him go 4 shades red and be like okay fine lets do it XD.

Gyms aren't that much more effective for losing weight than bodyweight exercises which you can do at home.

Eating clean and avoiding endocrine disrupting chemicals are more important than visiting the gym, but is often overlooked by gym goers.

Just for the weight loss, you don't need anything complex. Best to change the whole lifestyle so you're active without needing to "workout".

Pushups, one legged squats , pullups, dips, can all be done at home and at any time during the day. Multiple times a day.

Everyone stats someplace. there is a ton of info online. You need to be careful of the source. Check out several gyms until you find one that has the right vibe for you. do not try and do too much at first. Go 3-4 times a week. Do research on diet as well.

If he’s putting you down. Leave him. He’s being a dick. People who judge you will always find something. You can’t win with them no matter how hard you try.


You should go to the gym for you. Just leave him there’s better
