I've been slacking going to the gym for the past year and I've noticed that I've put on a bit of weight. Honestly, it's because I've been living a sloppy, careless, undisciplined lifestyle where I eat whatever I want, eat out all the time, have several different types of fast food in a week, and totally ignored my calories, not giving one single damn about nutritional value. I'll go to the gym, sit in the hot tub, take a shower, and leave. It's utterly ridiculous.

Not sure if I'm being insensitive but I know this is what's resulted in my weight gain and it's a major reality check for me like..."Wow, I'm neglecting my health and being such a lazy, careless sloth." So I'm curious what you think! Is excessive body fat/heavy weight and indication that someone lives a sloppy, careless, undisciplined lifestyle?

I just found out I'm not... We just got our asses handed to us in one game but won another 😜 My friend got a ball to the face though 😔

How well is it maintained if you do have it?

And tell me why you picked deafness or blindness over the other.
Also would your opinion change if instead of losing a sense, you were born either deaf of blind?

Common knowledge tells us that when we eat more calories than we need, we gain weight; and if we eat less calories than we need, we lose weight. But I wonder what happens if less emphasis is put on the weight or number on the scale and more emphasis is put on the body composition and fat distribution.

Let's take a 250-pound, 6'2'' man. He is the archetypical fat guy, eating too many high-calorie, low-nutrient food products. But one day, he decides, out of the blue, that he just does not want to eat junk food anymore. He wants something new for a change and tries to shop for some cheap, healthy food products at his local supermarkets. He makes sure that his diet is balanced and enough to build muscle through intense resistence-training. Riding a real bicycle can be a form of aerobic, cardiovascular exercise as well as a form of resistence-training (especially if you are trying to ride upslope). To train his upper body strength cheaply, he does bodyweight exercises and educates himself on proper form to avoid injury. His goal is not to lose weight, but to change his body composition, so that he has more muscle than fat, while remaining at the same weight. So, he continues to eat at a calorie surplus, but this time, with good food to supply the growth of muscles. He hopes to remain a big guy, but with more muscles than fat.

Which method do you think works best? Do you think people should eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight, or do you think people should eat at the weight-maintenance level or at a calorie surplus with the intention of changing the body composition especially in regards to building more muscle through weight-lifting, bodyweight exercises, and resistance-training in aerobic exercises?

I work with this guy at a grocery store and he walked me out to my car while ON the clock a few days ago once he saw it was time for me to leave work, he saw me and goes "where are you going?" And I go "home" and he was all noo your not 😞 then proceeds to walk out of the store with me and leaves the store with me and walks me all the way to my car in the back of the parking lot and stays to talk to me for at least 30+ mins about everything really and sits on the hood of my car by kid conversatjon I guess he was comfortable enough to do that lol and told me about his past and such we were getting to know each other and it was light outside a little after 7 when we first got out there and it was dark and about 8pm when he finally went back in cause we saw an employee in the parking lot getting shopping carts. A guy wouldn't just do this for any girl right? Do you think he likes me? I like him lol and we talk at work all the time and joke around and he playfully teases me and will try to come up and scare me when he thinks I would be caught off guard lol please let me know what you think! Thanks!!

I'm medium height [172 cm (5 feet 7.7 inches)].
What about you?

I've never really done yoga but I'm thinking I should start and it might help with some of my aches and discomforts.

My neck and upper back are often sore and tight and lately I've been having some chest problems and can't seem to figure out what's going on. I think I have a lunch infection of some kind but when I went to a Dr he did the hear and fluid or anything.

I've always had spent back/neck issues. They are worse at some times than others and have been really bad lately. I've also been quite stressed lately so I think that might be part of it.

I want to get a membership with the gym next to me but I get home from Uni at 9:30 pm 4 times a week and that's when the gym closes. Which means I can only go twice or 3 times a week.
It's also quite pricey but I was there last year and liked it (had a less busy schedule).

➡️ I want to work out enough to see some difference in my body for next summer (slimmer/ more toned look). Can I see a difference if I only go 2 or 3 times a week to the gym?

Because, as intrusive as it may sound, squeezing the breast is very important because it spreads out the breast tissue and allows for a much clearer picture.



The tighter they squeeze, the better the image BUT squeezing it to the point where it starts to pinch doesn't make the image any better. However, if it's not tight enough that you feel uncomfortable then there's a good chance that the image quality is compromised (and something could be missed)

For me, I am not really fit. I do an hour of walking in the morning and an hour of Zumba at night.
You?

I am 100% terrified of the dentist When I was younger I had to have a couple of extractions as they were rotten from being on antibiotics constantly which back then where full of sugar. Anyway due to medical reasons I was put to sleep anytime I need to have an extraction until one time my mom thought it would be a good idea to go to an actual dentist surgery instead of the hospital 😡 I was only about six years old this was my first time going to a dentist for more than a check up it was the worst experience of my life. The dentist first of all didn't numb me enough she was so rough that the nurse (dental assistant) asked her to stop which she refused to do I mean she didn't what the fuck she was doing at one point she was sitting up on top of me pulling the tooth again both the nurse and my mom asked her to stop. My mom and the nurse both reported her and she lost her job in the end I will never forget that day I mean it's 13 years later and I'm still traumatised by that situation

Anyway I ended up stop going to the dentist about two years ago I started going to this other dentist which understood my whole situation like he made sure I was comfortable anytime I went in like he would let me know what exactly he was doing as he was going along and he would keep asking if I was okay. I would bring my mom to my appointments until the last few appointments when I was able to go in myself

Then the receptionist booked me in with the wrong dentist a few months ago which has now turned me off the whole situation again it's not that she hurled me or anything It's just I'm so scared of dentist and it took over a year for me to be comfortable with the dentist o had been going to. I have to go back for one more filing which I keep saying next week 😭 Why can't I just have perfect teeth where I don't have to have any filings or need any teeth pulled

Everytime I go back they always find another cavity like I look after my teeth I just understand why I keep getting cavities 😭

Guys always talk how cellulite is gross on a girl, because they have been so used to the media only showing girls with 0 cellulite. But I have come to find in my entourage that most girls have cellulite, even if just a bit, and most are slim. I have an average weight and I have some cellulite on my upper thighs.

When do you usually go to bed and when do you wake up?
Mine is messed up.

I've recently found this out. It's so strange and I'd like to understand why this happens.

I'm around 5' 10". I weigh around 150-155. I NEED to tone up. I just can't stay consistent so I had an idea to get a personal trainer. What do you think?

Is it worth it?
